The global myasthenia gravis treatment market was valued at $1.7 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $3.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2023 to 2032.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies that attack and damage the receptors at the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue. In addition, the antibodies target the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), which is a protein located on the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction. Moreover, in some cases, the antibodies may target other proteins related to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), such as muscle-specific kinase (MuSK). This leads to impaired communication between the nerve and muscle, which results in muscle weakness and fatigue.
The most common symptoms of myasthenia gravis include muscle weakness, particularly in the eyes, face, throat & limbs, difficulty speaking, swallowing, or breathing, drooping eyelids, double vision, and fatigue that worsens with activity. Currently, there are several drugs available for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), and monoclonal antibodies.
The major factor driving the growth of myasthenia gravis treatment market are increase in number of patients suffering from myasthenia gravis, advancements in diagnosis of autoimmune disorders, and rise in availability of treatment options for myasthenia gravis. The rise in prevalence of myasthenia gravis worldwide is one of the primary drivers for the growth of the myasthenia gravis treatment market. For instance, according to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America, approximately 14 to 20 out of 100,000 people in the U.S. are affected by myasthenia gravis, and the disease is more common in women than men. Moreover, the incidence of myasthenia gravis has increased globally, which is expected to drive the demand for effective treatments for the disease.
Furthermore, increase in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis is expected to fuel the market growth. Myasthenia gravis is a rare and often misdiagnosed autoimmune disorder that affects the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue. The disease can be challenging to diagnose, as symptoms may be subtle or vary greatly from person to person. However, advancements in diagnostic techniques have led to more accurate and timely diagnosis of myasthenia gravis, which drives the market growth. The surge in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis has increased the demand for effective treatments and fosters market growth. As more cases of myasthenia gravis are identified and diagnosed earlier, there is a greater need for effective treatments to manage the disease and prevent complications. This has led to increased investment in R&D of new and more effective treatments for myasthenia gravis.
Furthermore, the increase in diagnosis has led to greater awareness of the disease among patients and healthcare professionals. In addition, increase in number of drugs in clinical stages of development, focused on treatment of myasthenia gravis is anticipated to boost the growth of market. As the number of people affected by myasthenia gravis continues to increase, the demand for effective treatments rises, resulting in need for innovative therapies. This demand drives the pharmaceutical companies and research institutions to invest in the development of new treatments for the disease, with clinical trials serving as a critical tool for testing their safety and efficacy. Thus, upsurge in number of clinical trials focused on myasthenia gravis is expected to drive the growth of the myasthenia gravis treatment market by providing new and improved treatments for patients suffering from myasthenia gravis disease.
The myasthenia gravis treatment market is segmented into drug class, age group, distribution channel, and region. On the basis of drug class, the market is categorized into cholinesterase inhibitors, immunosuppressants, monoclonal antibodies, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), and others. On the basis of age group, the market is bifurcated into below 50 years and above 50 years. On the basis of distribution channel, the market is segregated into hospital pharmacies, drug stores & retail pharmacies, and online providers. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (Japan, China, Australia, India, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and rest of LAMEA).
Major key players that operate in the global myasthenia gravis treatment market are F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., AstraZeneca, Novartis AG, Zydus Lifesciences Limited, Bausch Health Companies, Inc., CSL Limited, Grifols, S.A., Octapharma AG, Astellas Pharma Inc., and Kedrion, SpA. The key players have adopted strategies such as acquisition, agreement, strategic alliance, product approval, and expansion to expand their product portfolio.
