Syringomyelia Market Research By Type (Congenital, And Acquired), Diagnosis (CT Scan, MRI), Treatment (Monitoring, Chiari Surgery, Draining The Syrinx, Expansive Duraplasty, Surgical Removal of Cyst, Medication), End User – Forecast Till 2030

Syringomyelia Market Scenario

Syringomyelia Market is expected to grow USD 350 Million at a CAGR 6.80% during the forcast period 2023 to 2030.Syringomyelia is a chronic condition characterized by a fluid-filled cyst known as a syrinx that forms within the spinal cord. The syrinx can expand over time, and destroy the surrounding nerve tissue. There are several possible causes of syringomyelia but most cases are associated with Chiari malformation. Symptoms of syringomyelia may include pain, stiffness in the back, shoulders, neck, arms, or legs, progressive weakness in the arms and legs, headaches, imbalance, loss of bowel and bladder control, the curvature of the spine (scoliosis), numbness, or tingling.

There are majorly two forms of syringomyelia: congenital syringomyelia and acquired syringomyelia. The congenital syringomyelia is caused by a Chiari malformation, whereas causes of acquired syringomyelia include meningitis, spinal cord injury, a spinal cord tumor, arachnoiditis, tethered cord syndrome, and bleeding into the cord (hemorrhage).

According to the National Organization for rare diseases, syringomyelia is most commonly found in young adults between the ages of 20-40 years, but can also develop in young children or older adults. It is also reported that the condition is slightly more common in males than females.

Notably, rising need for the better treatment methods is the key factor driving the syringomyelia market growth. A number of scientist and researcher are continuously trying to find ways to halt or reverse the cell damage occurred due to spinal cord injury. Diagnostic technology is another area of continued research to better visualize conditions in the spine even before symptoms appear.

Various other factors such as increasing prevalence of syringomyelia, and related complications, increasing government assistance, improving regulatory framework, increasing awareness, and rising funding and reimbursement are continuously contributing to the growth of the syringomyelia market.

However, high treatment cost, injuries occurred because of treatment, and poor healthcare system in low and middle-income countries may hinder the growth of the market to an extent over the review period.

Regional Analysis

The Americas dominate the syringomyelia market owing to the rising awareness among people and high healthcare expenditure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2015, the total health expenditure in the United States was reported to be USD 3.2 trillion and hospital care accounted for a share of 32.3%.

Europe holds the second position in the syringomyelia market. It is expected that the support provided by the government bodies for research & development and improvement in reimbursement policies in the healthcare is likely to drive the market of Europe region.

The Asia Pacific is the fastest growing syringomyelia market owing to a huge patient pool and developing healthcare technology. Healthcare expenditure is also improving in various Asia Pacific countries. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in the years 2015-2016, the total health expenditure was USD 170.4 billion, which is 3.6% higher than the expenditure of 2014-2015.

The Middle East & Africa holds the least share of the market due to lack of technical knowledge and poor medical facilities.
