Refsum Disease Industry Overview by Growth factors, Product chain value, Competitors Analysis and Forecast 2023

Refsum Disease Market Information: by Type (Adult Refsum Disease, Others), Diagnosis (Physical, Molecular Genetic Examination, Prenatal Screening, Enzyme Analysis, Other Testing), Treatment (Medical, Surgical Care), End User - Global forecast till 2023
Refsum disease is a genetic disorder which is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The condition is characterized by progressive loss of vision (retinitis pigmentosa), failure of muscle coordination (ataxia), degenerative nerve disease (peripheral neuropathy), and dry, rough, scaly skin (ichthyosis). The accumulation of fatty acid (phytanic acid) in blood plasma and tissues is the main cause of refsum disease. This occurs due to malfunction of the enzyme producing gene that metabolizes phytanic acid. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, more than 90 % cases of refsum disease result from the mutations in PHYH gene, and the remaining cases are caused by mutations in a gene PEX7 gene.
Notably, increasing awareness among people is the key factor driving the refsum disease market. According to the National Organization of Rare Diseases, the age of onset of refsum disorder varies greatly. The disease can occur at any time from early childhood to nearly 50 years of age, but in most cases will have appeared by age 20. Males and females are equally affected in numbers.
Various other push factors such as increasing awareness among people, increasing government assistance, improving regulatory framework, and rising funding and reimbursement continuously contributing to the growth of the global refsum disease market.

Augmented Bone Graft Market Key Manufactures Shares, Analysis and Forecasts Till 2023

Augmented Bone Graft Market Research Report by product (Allografts, Bone Grafts Substitutes, Cell-based Matrices), application (Craniomaxillofacial, Dental, Foot & Ankle, Joint Reconstruction, Long Bone, Spinal Fusion), end user– Global forecast till 2023
According to the British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery, bone is the second most common transplanted tissue after blood with an estimated 2.2 million grafting procedures worldwide annually as recorded in 2015. This development has been fuelled by the increasing cases of fractures and accidents around the world.
The Global Augmented Bone Graft Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7.8% during the forecast period 2017-2023.
Augment Bone Graft is a combination drug/device product used for repairing the bone and reviving its regenerative properties. It is used as an alternative to autograft in arthrodesis of the ankle or hindfoot indicating the need for supplemental graft material. The use of augment bone graft eliminates the need for a second surgery to harvest autologous bone, thereby avoiding donor site morbidity. According to the National Health Interview Survey, in 2012, around 126 million adults were affected by this disease in the U.S. According to the Labor Force Survey (LFS), about 553,000 cases were registered for all work-related musculoskeletal disorder out of the total of 1,243,000 cases.
Allografts and bovine-derived bone graft products dominate the augmented bone graft market. These materials have variations in particle size which is their main drawback. The recent technological trend is to replace these natural materials with alloplastic bone grafts such as ceramics and polymers as they can be manufactured to the precise size and characteristics.
There has been increasing acceptance of bone grafting procedures which drives the market for augmented bone graft products. Many healthcare professionals have started using these bone grafts, especially in tertiary care centers and specialty hospitals which may promote and increase the demand for augmented bone graft. These bone graft works in a unique way to stimulate three key processes of early bone healing.
Various other factors such as, increasing advancement in technology, and rising adoption rate of new technology continuously contribute to the growth of this market. Despite these developments, high cost of surgeries and ethical issues related with bone grafting procedures may hamper the growth of the market. For instance, a study conducted by BMC Medical Ethics states that in a sample of 100 patients, about 20% of the patients refuse to accept allografts for their grafting surgery.
Additionally, stringent regulations obstruct the growth of augmented bone grafts market size and inadequate reimbursement policies for bone grafting also hampers the growth of global bone grafts market. Rapid product launches and increasing mergers and acquisitions between bone graft systems manufacturing companies are some of the major trends in the global bone grafts market.

Regional Analysis
The Global Augmented Bone Graft Market consists of countries namely America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.
North America dominated the global augmented bone graft market owing to the increasing healthcare expenditure in North America since 2016. Canadian healthcare specifically was stressed by an advancing demographic move. The increase of insurance coverage because of health care reform (Affordable Care Act) in the United States additionally prompted an expansion in health care spending. In 2016, healthcare organizations found liberation from a special tax on medical devices (Medical Device Excise Tax). The United States Congress put off the tax for a long two years in 2015.
For Europe, the healthcare spending has expanded slightly in Germany. Neverthelss, the orthopedic biologics market including the bone graft substitute market has been determined by solid strong competition and price pressure. While volume of sales and the scope of new treatment techniques are on the ascent, net revenues in the German market are declining. Western Europe continues to see a need to save money on healthcare because of a slight drop in financial growth and obstinate economic pressure.
Healthcare spending in Asia expanded in 2016 due to an extension of state health care programs and the increasing affluence of the population. India, in specific, saw an expansion in spending due to a government resolution to enhance healthcare services.
Furthermore in the Middle East & Africa the spending for healthcare was also increased. This was essentially because of elections in a few nations, (for example, Ghana, Niger, Uganda, Zambia and Somalia), healthcare growth and population growth. Awareness for medicinal technology likewise expanded extraordinarily. Due to of low local production, the region is dependent on imported medicinal products. The import standard in numerous nations is 80% to 90%.
