The growth of the encephalitis treatment market is expected to be driven by increased investments in healthcare infrastructure. Healthcare infrastructure encompasses facilities, resources, and services that support the delivery of medical care to individuals and communities, including hospitals, clinics, and medical laboratories equipped with advanced technology and staffed by trained healthcare professionals. Effective healthcare infrastructure plays a pivotal role in encephalitis treatment by providing access to specialized medical facilities, diagnostic tools, and supportive care. For example, in May 2023, the American Health Care Association reported that the number of hospitals in the US increased from 6,129 in 2021 to 6,093 in 2022. Additionally, healthcare spending in the UK surged by 9.4% in nominal terms and 9.7% in real terms between 2020 and 2021, according to a report by the Office for National Statistics. Therefore, the upward trend in healthcare infrastructure investment is propelling the growth of the encephalitis treatment market.

Anticipated growth in the encephalitis treatment market is attributed to the increasing incidence of neuroinvasive diseases. Neuroinvasive diseases refer to conditions where pathogens like viruses or bacteria enter the nervous system, leading to inflammation or damage to nervous tissues. The growing prevalence of neuroinvasive diseases creates a demand for encephalitis treatments, spurring investments by pharmaceutical companies and researchers in the development of new therapies and medications to address the expanding needs of patients. For example, in June 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 8 cases of neuroinvasive La Crosse virus human disease in September 2022, compared to 6 cases in July 2022. Ohio had the highest total cases reported, with 13 cases, surpassing all other regions in the USA. This underscores the driving force of an increasing number of neuroinvasive disease cases on the encephalitis treatment market's growth.

Leading companies in the encephalitis treatment market are concentrating on strategic investments to speed up the development of innovative therapies, boost their research and development efforts, and expand their clinical trial activities. For example, in September 2023, Arialys Therapeutics, a preclinical-stage company based in the US, raised $58 million in seed funding to advance its lead drug candidate, ART5803, which is aimed at treating anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (ANRE), a common form of autoimmune encephalitis. The company plans to begin clinical trials with healthy volunteers by the end of 2024, followed by trials in ANRE patients in early 2025. Arialys is dedicated to developing targeted therapies that focus on pathogenic antibodies affecting the central nervous system.

In November 2022, Substipharm, a French pharmaceutical company, acquired the IMOJEV Japanese encephalitis vaccine from Sanofi S.A. for an undisclosed amount.

Encephalitis treatment is the treatment of a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the brain, usually caused by a viral infection, a fungal infection, an autoimmune reaction, or certain medications. Encephalitis treatment is used to manage symptoms, slow down the progression of the disease and prevent complications.

Encephalitis can be categorized into two main types are primary encephalitis and secondary encephalitis. Primary encephalitis involves inflammation originating directly within the brain, rather than being a result of an infection originating elsewhere in the body. Treatment for primary encephalitis includes the use of antiviral medications, supportive care, and symptom management. The various treatment approaches are employed, encompassing antiviral agents, steroid injections, antibiotics, immunoglobulin therapy, plasmapheresis, and other treatments. These treatments can be administered via different routes, including oral, parenteral, and other methods. Diagnosing encephalitis involves employing various types of tests such as imaging tests, blood tests, biopsies, and other diagnostic procedures. These diagnostic tests are conducted by healthcare facilities like hospitals, specialty clinics, and others.
