Refsum Disease Market Up To 2023: Top Companies, Growth Factors Details And Regional Overview By Types & Application

Market Scenario

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.
Despite these drivers, there are some issues associated with refsum disease market. Some of the challenges in research and development, and poor healthcare system in low and middle-income countries may hinder the growth of the market to some extent.

Malaria Diagnostics Market Innovative Treatments, Key Methodologies, Size, Growth, Top Players Success Milestones And Forecasts To 2023

The Global Malaria Diagnostics Market Expected to Garner a CAGR of 4.63% During the assessment period between 2018 and 2023. It is reported in Malaria Diagnostics Market analysis released by Market Research Future (MRFR), that the market is positively influenced by a number of factors.
Malaria is a serious life-threatening disease caused by a parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected anopheles mosquitoes. Infected mosquitoes transport the Plasmodium parasite. When the infected mosquito bites you, the parasite is released into your bloodstream. Once the human body becomes the host for the parasite it travels to the liver and matures. After some days, the mature parasite enters the bloodstream and starts to infect red blood cells (RBC). Humans suffering from malaria frequently experience fever, headache, weakness, vomiting
A major factor influencing this growth is the increasing advancements in technology related to diagnostic tools and the proliferating demand for such treatments in malaria-endemic countries. Other factors driving the market growth are rising support from the government in terms of investment funds and an increase in the collaboration between the research centers and the industry. Malaria diagnostic tests play a significant role in identifying malarial cases, which thereby boosts the growth of the overall malaria diagnostic market trends and size.
However, the lack of precise monitoring standards at developing nations, acts as a major factor constraining the market. The lack of awareness among emerging nations and work regulatory framework is of particular concern for both manufacturers and healthcare providers.

In 2016, global governments of malaria-endemic countries have invested USD 2.7 billion in malaria control and elimination efforts. The US was the largest contributor by providing USD 1 billion for the eradication of malaria.
The European market is expected to hold the least share due to the growing number of malaria-free countries in the region.
The market in the Middle East and Africa is expected to account for the smallest share of the global malaria diagnostics market due to an underdeveloped healthcare sector, lack of technical knowledge, and poor medical facilities. Sub-Saharan Africa remains to bring an excessively high share of the global malaria burden on the Middle Eastern and African market. the region was home to 90% of malaria incidences and 92% of malaria deaths in 2015
The market share in Asia-Pacific is also projected to experience growth in the near future due to access to optimal treatment facilities and growing demand for advanced technology, better adoption rate, increase in disposable income, and rising medical tourism.
