Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Market Research Report 2019 Analysis And Forecast To 2023

ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a neurological ailment which affects the nerve cells in the spinal cord and the brain that controls the voluntary muscles’ activities. Some of the common symptoms of ALS include cramps, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, and fasciculation. This is a progressive neurological disease where gradually patients become dependent on physicians and caregivers increasingly. Often ALS results in respiratory failure as the patient loses the ability of controlling the muscles both in the diaphragm and the chest. Ultimately, it turns fatal.
Additional factors such as the inclination towards the sedentary lifestyle are driving the market growth and increasing the risk of developing ALS. Besides, the increasing geriatric population substantiates market growth, creating a demand for symptomatic and targeted treatment options.
The Global Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market size by valuation is expected to surpass USD 841.6 million by 2023, growing at approximately 7.89 % CAGR over the forecast period (2019-2023). In 2017, the market had a valuation of USD 526 million.
