Market Scenario
Coma refers to a state of unconsciousness in which a patient remains unresponsive to anything around them for a prolonged period of time. Depending on the severity of the coma, patient may require life-saving resuscitative measures and once the patient is medically stable, treatments can be used to treat original problem that is causing the coma.
There is no particular treatment that can cause someone to come out of a coma and treatments can prevent further physical and neurological damage. However depending on the cause of a coma, patient who are continuosly in this state for more than one year are extremely unlikely to awaken.
Increasing prevalence of neurological disorders, increasing investment by biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in R&D, and rising need for the better treatment methods drive the growth of the Coma Diagnosis and Treatment Market. Moreover, favorable reimbursement policies, increased application and significant investments in the development of new technologies for the treatment of diseases will fuel the market growth during the forecast period
Over the last decade, the number of hospitals has increased to a great extent, which has influenced the growth of the market positively. Moreover, increasing demand for better treatment and changing reimbursement policies have fueled the market growth.
According to the World Health Organization estimates, neurological disorders are responsible for 4.5%-11% of all illnesses including low or high income economies. This is far higher as compared to the number of respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disorders, or cancers, and the burden is expected to increase further over the coming years.
However, limited availability of facilities and higher treatment cost may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
The global coma diagnosis & treatment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~7.1% during the forecast period 2017-2023.

Regional Analysis
Asia Pacific is the fastest growing coma diagnosis & treatment market owing to the presence of rapidly developing healthcare technology, increasing stressful life, and high healthcare expenditure. Moreover, increasing patient population in countries like India and South Korea are likely to emerge as the fastest growing market across the globe. Furthermore, increasing demand for quality devices in the healthcare is projected to lead the use of advanced equipment, which, in turn, may increase the market growth in this region.
The Americas dominate the global coma diagnosis & treatment market owing to well-developed technology, increasing patient population for brain disorder, high health care spending, and increasing government support for research & development. Furthermore, increased R&D activities and the concentration of major companies have fuelled the growth of the market in this region.
On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa holds the least share of the market owing to less availability of funds, limited medical facilities, and deprived political conditions in Africa.
Europe holds the second position in the global coma diagnosis & treatment market owing to the government support for research & development and availability of funds for research. This is expected to continue to drive the European market over the forecasted period. For instance, developed economies such countries such as Germany and France are increasing investment in the healthcare domain and are focusing more on hospital infrastructure.
