The Meralgia Paresthetica Market is expected to reach USD 1.7 Billion by 2032 at 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. Meralgia paresthetica is a condition characterized by tingling, numbness and burning pain in outer thigh. The major cause of meralgia paresthetica is compression of the nerve that supplies sensation to the skin surface of the thigh.
The meralgia paresthetica market growth is majorly attributed to the increasing prevalence of obesity, rising funding, and healthcare insurance coverage. Moreover, common causes of this compression includes any condition that increases pressure on the groin such as tight clothing i.e. belts, corsets and tight pants, obesity or weight gain, wearing a heavy tool belt, pregnancy, scar tissue near the inguinal ligament due to injury or any previous surgery. Furthermore, nerve injury, which due to diabetes or seat belt injury after an accident (by motor vehicle), can also cause meralgia paresthetica.
As per the National Diabetes Statistics Report suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is found that 9.4% of the U.S. population i.e. 30.3 million people had diabetes in 2015. The rising prevalence of diabetes in low and middle-income countries appears to be fuelled by nutrition transition, rapid urbanization, and increasingly sedentary lifestyles, suggested by a study published in the journal Pharmacoeconomics in 2015.
Furthermore, globalization in healthcare has increased the market growth. Established market players in the developed countries leads the globalization by pushing new products and services into the developing countries and emerging economies. According to the World Health Organization estimates, head injuries are responsible for 4.5%-11% of all injuries in the world including low or high income economies. This is far higher as compared to the number of respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disorders, or cancers, and the burden is expected to increase further over the coming years.
On the other hand, availability of expensive treatment may hamper the meralgia paresthetica market growth during the forecast period.
