Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market

The global amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market size was estimated at USD 537.2 million in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period. Rising geriatric population, growing awareness about ALS, and increasing incidence rate are the factors driving this market. However, the high cost associated with ALS treatment may pose as an impediment for the market during the forecast period. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrigs disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that damages nerve cells in the central nervous system responsible for controlling the voluntary muscles. Some of the common symptoms include muscle twitching, stiff muscles, and weakness due to decrease in the size of muscles of the legs or arms. Around half of the people suffering from ALS may lose the ability to swallow, breathe, speak, walk, and use their hands.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), following gradual paralysis, patients with ALS often die from respiratory failure within 3-5 years. It also states that between the two types of ALS, the sporadic type is the most common form, accounting for 90- 95% of all cases in the U.S. while the familial type accounts for the rest. Familial ALS (FALS) is hereditary in nature, where there is a 50% chance of inheriting the genetic mutation for each offspring and eventually developing the disorder. In 25-40% of the people suffering from familial ALS, the defect is most commonly found in the C9ORF72 gene. Mutation in this gene also leads to a condition known as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which may develop along with ALS as a comorbidity referred to as ALS-FTD. Although there is no cure for ALS, treatments such as medications and stem cell therapies can help in the management of the symptoms, prevention of unnecessary complications, and slows down the disease progression. Adoption of sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing the disorder among the geriatric population, which creates a demand for novel therapeutics approaches and targeted treatment options. These factors are expected to further drive the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market. Treatment Insights The treatment segment has been divided into medications, stem cell therapies and others. Among the treatments, the medication segment is anticipated to dominate the global ALS treatment market through the forecast period. There are only two drugs approved for the treatment of ALS, Rilutek (riluzole) and Radicava (edaravone). Another drug, Nuedexta (dextromethorphan/quinidine) has received FDA approval for the treatment pseudobulbar affect (PBA), a comorbidity of ALS. Stem cell therapy is expected to show the highest CAGR due to the increasing demand of new approaches and advanced treatment options. Several initiatives have been taken by the government authoritative bodies and the Collaborative ALS Drug Discovery Initiative (CADDI) to fast-track development of novel drugs and treatments. This is expected to further boost the number of clinical trials and launch of pipeline drugs during the forecast period. Distribution Channel Insights The distribution channel segment has been divided into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies and others. Hospital pharmacies accounted for the largest market share in 2018 and is expected to retain the leading position through the forecast period. The requirement for several hospital stays and visits during the course of ALS treatment facilitates the growth of this segment. There is high patient preference for hospital pharmacies as well as retail pharmacies. This can be attributed to the easy and rapid access to a broad range of drugs and adequate products in the stock offered by these distribution channels.

Other distribution channels in the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market include online pharmacies, diagnostics laboratories, and clinics. Online Pharmacies are also gaining prominence due to the growing popularity of eCommerce channels that offer a wide range of options along with in-depth drug information.
