Global Transverse Myelitis Market Overview
Transverse Myelitis Market Size was valued at USD 0.20 Billion in 2023. The Global Transverse Myelitis industry is projected to grow from USD 0.30 Billion in 2024 to USD 0.40 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.23% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).Transverse myelitis is a neurological disease caused by inflammation of both sides of one section of the spinal cord. This condition generally damages the insulating material covering the nerve cell fibers (myelin).
Transverse myelitis can occur at any age. According to the Columbia University Department of Neurology, this disease most often occurs in children ages 10 to 19 years and in adults aged 30 to 39 years. The inflammation leading to transverse myelitis can result as a side effect of a number of other conditions such as measles, viral infections, lyme disease, syphilis, viral infections, and bacterial infections among others. The common symptoms of the disease include back or neck pain, weakness in arms or legs, abnormal sensations in the legs, loss of bowel control and sensory symptoms such as numbness.
The factors such as growing prevalence of transverse myelitis, rising prevalence of diseases which can lead to transverse myelitis such as viral infections and some cancers, increasing in research and development activities, and rising expenditure on healthcare sector by the government in developed as well as developing economies is expected to fuel the transverse myelitis market. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, it is estimated that about 1,400 new cases of transverse myelitis are diagnosed each year in the US. According to the same source, it is estimated that about 33,000 American population have some type of disability resulting from transverse myelitis.
Despite the drivers, high cost associated with the diagnosis and treatment of transverse myelitis can hamper the growth of the market over the assessment period.
