Peripheral Neuropathy Market Trends

• The Increasing Prevalence of Peripheral Neuropathy to Boost the Market Growth

Peripheral neuropathy refers to the many conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nervous system. The rapid growth of the geriatric and obese population across the world highly contributes to the risk of developing peripheral neuropathy. The etiology of peripheral neuropathy includes physical injury (trauma), diabetes, vascular and blood-related problems, or diseases, systemic (body-wide) autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalance, kidney and liver disorders, certain cancers and benign tumors, chemotherapy drugs, and certain infections.

It is also due to the malfunctioning of nerves ending up in severe damage, which further leads to inappropriate signaling to various parts of the body. Diabetic neuropathy is recorded as a major type of neuropathy. The rising prevalence of diabetes worldwide will lead to an increase in the number of people with peripheral neuropathy. Thus, the increasing prevalence of diabetes across the world is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
