Myasthenia Gravis Disease Market Trends

• Robust efforts by critical players toward novel therapies are boosting the market growth

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic, progressive, and rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness of the head, extremities, spine, eyes, and respiratory muscles. In this autoimmune disease, antibodies are produced against the acetylcholine receptor (AchR), which blocks the standard transmission of electrical signals from nerves to muscles.

According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), about 14-40 people in the United States have myasthenia gravis per 100,000 people. Reports indicate that the disease frequency has increased over the past few decades. This can be attributed to better identification of patients and the general prevalence of autoimmune diseases worldwide.

Myasthenia gravis occurs more frequently in women than in men, and although symptoms can appear at any age, its peak incidence is usually in men in their 50s or 60s and women in their 20s or 30s. There is no effective cure for myasthenia gravis, but symptoms can be managed with medication and surgery.

Research is focused on better understanding the specifics of autoimmune problems associated with MG and improving their diagnosis and Treatment. Additionally, the market is watching a paradigm shift in the research field from suppressing the immune system to rebalancing it. Another critical area of ​​research is the physiology of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) to improve its function regardless of possible immune system attack. Therefore, the Myasthenia Gravis Disease market CAGR has been increasing ly in recent years. These are essential factors driving the Myasthenia Gravis Disease market revenue growth.

Myasthenia Gravis Disease Market Segment Insights

Myasthenia Gravis Disease Diagnosis Insights

Based on the Diagnosis, the Myasthenia Gravis Disease market segmentation includes Imaging, Blood Tests, Electrodiagnostic, and Edrophonium tests. The blood test segment held the majority share 2022 of the Myasthenia Gravis Disease market revenue. The primary test for myasthenia gravis is a blood test that looks for a type of antibody (produced by the immune system) that blocks signals from being sent between nerves and muscles. High levels of these antibodies usually mean you have myasthenia gravis.

Myasthenia Gravis Disease Treatment Insights

Based on Treatment, the  Myasthenia Gravis Disease market segmentation includes Medication, Surgery, and HSCT. The medication segment held the majority share in 2022 of the  Myasthenia Gravis Disease market revenue. This is because the drug can significantly suppress the immune system and control associated symptoms to a great extent. Medications include immunotherapies such as Soliris (eculizumab), corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs such as Prograf (tacrolimus) and Neoral/Sandimmune (cyclosporine). The other main form of Treatment is surgery, which is the most invasive and usually involves thymectomy (thymectomy). The thymus gland degenerates with age (thymic involution), but total loss of the thymus gland in this way can significantly weaken the patient's immune system.

Myasthenia Gravis Disease End-User Insights

Based on End-User, the  Myasthenia Gravis Disease industry has been segmented into Hospitals, Clinics, and Academic Research Institutes. The hospital segment held the largest market share and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to access to a large patient pool and the high demand for advanced equipment for MG treatment in hospital settings. There has been an increase in patient visits for the diagnosis and Treatment of MG owing to the wide range of treatment options available in such facilities. Moreover, one of the significant factors contributing to its colossal share is the rising investment in state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructure.

Myasthenia Gravis Disease Regional Insights
