Connective tissues are a group of cellular congregations that provide support and structure to the human body. Connective tissue disease is a group of disorders which involves these protein rich tissues. Protein rich tissues play an important role of supporting organs and other parts of the body. Connective tissue disorders involves multiple organs and organ systems such as, skin, joints, muscles, lungs, kidneys, eyes, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and blood vessels. More than 200 disorders affect the connective tissues. According to a study published in Pan African Medical Journal in 2017, it is found that mixed connective tissue disorders are more frequent among Asians, and in the African population. It is also reported that among Asian population, the condition is more prevalent in China, and Japan. In the European region, the disorder is more prevalent in Italy, Hungary, Norway, and Poland.
Developments in the treatment of connective tissue diseases (CTDs) have been improved considerably, and the global connective tissue diseases market is slated to grow at a promising CAGR of 11.5% over the forecast period of 2017-2023. The cause of the disease is unknown and there's no cure for connective tissue disease yet, but medications are present to manage the signs and symptoms. CTDs include a large number of disorders which can affect different organs of the body. There is broad variability in disorders among patient suffering from CTDs.
It is estimated that connective tissue disease market is expected to grow at a CAGR 11.5% during the forecast period of 2017-2023.
A significant increase in the research and development efforts to find treatment and cure for CTDs have aided the growth of the market. Various therapy trials are underway which have been able to identify promising novel approaches to treat CTDs and are expected to boost the growth of the market. Rising prevalence of CTDs across the globe, especially in women has propelled the growth of the market. Additionally, support from governments across the world along with funds for R&D from the private industry is also a key driver of the growth of the market. With the increase in awareness and acceptance among the general population about connective tissue diseases, the diagnosed and drug-treated population will increase which will positively impact the market. Rising expenditure on healthcare, high unmet medical needs of the current treatment and growing prevalence of CTDs in Asia and Africa are expected to promote the growth of the market. However, the growth of the market might be hindered by lack of a knowledgeable workforce, inadequate research and development infrastructure, lack of funds in middle and low-income countries.
