The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the speech and language disorder market. Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), are progressive disorders characterized by the gradual and irreversible degeneration of neurons.

The rising incidence of these diseases is attributed to an aging global population, increased life expectancy, and heightened awareness and diagnosis. The treatment of speech and language disorders offers valuable insights into disease progression and contributes to improving the quality of life for affected individuals by addressing both practical and emotional needs.

This figure is projected to nearly triple, reaching 14 million by 2060.
