For instance, In June 2016, Merck & Co. acquired Afferent Pharmaceuticals to expand the pharma giant’s pipeline for treating neurogenic conditions.


• Increasing chemotherapy treatments for cancer


• Rising awareness about peripheral neuropathy


• Increasing geriatric population

Market Restraints

• Stringent government regulations

Peripheral Neuropathy Market Segmentation

By Type

• Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN): Expected to hold the largest share, owing to the increasing prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in youth with diabetes. For example, as per survey, in 2017, in the US, the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) was 7% in youth with Type 1 diabetes and 22% in youth with Type 2 diabetes.

• Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN): This is expected to be the second-largest segment, owing to the rising prevalence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). For example, according to an article published by The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy in 2016, 30-40% of all cancer patients have chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)

• Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy: Idiopathic peripheral neuropathies occur typically in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The cause of idiopathic peripheral neuropathy is not known yet.

• HIV/AIDS Associated Peripheral Neuropathy: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS is often accompanied by the development of peripheral neuropathic conditions.

By Treatment

• Pharmacological Therapies: This is expected to be the largest segment, as the pharmacological therapies are primary in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy.

• Non-Pharmacological Therapies: Non-Pharmacological therapies are further divided into Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TNS) and Plasma exchange & intravenous immune globulin. This is expected to be the second-largest segment, as non-pharmacological therapies are used along with other treatment options for Neurotherapy.

• Others: Others include, physical therapy and surgery also used for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy

By End-User

• Hospitals and Clinics: The largest segment, hospitals, and clinics are usually the first place for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The availability of different treatment methods with expertise in the hospital and clinics is projected to drive the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

• Ambulatory Centers: Ambulatory care is provided in settings such as ambulatory surgical centers, dialysis clinics, hospital outpatient departments, and other health professionals.

• Others: This segment includes research organizations and academic institutions.

By Region

• Americas: The largest regional market. In countries such as the US and Canada, due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes in the US. For example, as per the survey, the population prevalence of diabetes in the US is approaching 10% and is increasing by 5% each year. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication associated with diabetes mellitus. Also, top players such as Eli Lilly and Company, Bristol Myers Squibb, Abbott Laboratories reside in the Americas. This contributes to the growth of the peripheral neuropathy market in this region.

• Europe: The increasing number of cases of cancer in Europe, coupled with rising awareness, peripheral neuropathy treatment options are expected to boost the growth of the peripheral neuropathy market in the European region. For Example, as per the survey in 2018, the total number of newly diagnosed 42,29, 662 cases of cancer were found in Europe. The chemotherapy treatments are widely used in cancer therapies leads to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

• Asia-Pacific: Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region in the peripheral neuropathy market. The region is witnessing a growing number of geriatric populations afflicted with chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer. This increases the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy

• Middle East & Africa: The smallest market due to limited healthcare infrastructure and limited exposure to technological advancements.
