Market Insights

Growing Prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis include weakness, anxiety, abnormality of taste, reduced sensation, and blurred vision or vision loss. Some of the other signs are constipation, muscle stiffness, depression, thinking problems, and urinary problems.

Studies suggest that there is an increase in prevalence of multiple sclerosis across the globe. For instance, as per the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s study in 2017, about 1 million adults (up to 913,925) were living with MS in the US. In 2010, estimated prevalence of the disease was 309 cases per 100,000 people, that is, there were 727,344 adults suffering from MS. Additionally, as per the Government of Canada, (2014–2015 estimates) over 77,000 Canadians are living with multiple sclerosis of which 3/4th are women.

Further, the Multiple Sclerosis Society estimated that about 110,000 people were suffering from the condition in the UK in 2018. It also mentioned that MS is more than twice prevalent in females than males. The number of new patients diagnosed per year is also increasing; it increased from 5,000 in 2017 to 6,700 in 2018.

Therefore, growing prevalence of multiple sclerosis is driving the multiple sclerosis therapeutics market.
