Cervical Dystonia Market

Global Cervical Dystonia Market: Introduction

Cervical dystonia is a painful condition, wherein neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing the head to twist and turn to one side. The disorder causes abnormal movement of the neck and head, resulting into their awkward position. Severe cervical dystonia causes the head to uncontrollably tilt backward or forward. The disorder can occur at any age, most often in middle aged people, and it can sometimes resolve on its own without any treatment. Cervical dystonia can be hereditary and caused due to neurological disorder, or it can be triggered by physical trauma. Inherited cervical dystonia occurs in conjunction with early-onset generalized dystonia associated with the DYT1 gene.

Key Drivers of Global Cervical Dystonia Market

Rise in Musculoskeletal Disorders

Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading contributors to disability across the world, with lower back pain being the single leading cause of disability. Musculoskeletal conditions limit mobility and dexterity, leading to early retirement from work, reduced accumulated wealth, and reduced ability to participate in social roles. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as stated in a 2017 GBD study, musculoskeletal conditions were the highest contributors to global disability (accounting for 16% of all years lived with disability), and lower back pain was the single leading cause of disability. Prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions varies by age and diagnosis. 20% to 33% of people across the globe live with a painful musculoskeletal condition.

Increase in Global Geriatric Population:

• According to the United Nations, the number of people above the age of 60 is expected to double by 2050 and grow three-fold by 2100. It is projected to rise from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050 and reach 3.1 billion by 2100. Globally, the geriatric population is increasing at a rapid pace.
• The current geriatric population is about 13% of the global population and increases at a rate of 3% every year. Furthermore, the number of persons aged 80 years and above is estimated to grow three-fold by 2050, an increase from 137 million in 2017 to 425 million by 2050. Presently, Europe has a significantly large geriatric population.

North America to Account for Major Share of Global Cervical Dystonia Market

North America is projected to account for major share of the global cervical dystonia market during the forecast period. North America accounted for the largest market share in 2020, attributed to the strategic presence of key pharmaceutical manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada. Increase in investments by private players in the health care sector in Europe, and improved reimbursement policies are expected to propel the market in the region between 2018 and 2026. However, increase in geriatric population in China and Japan and rapid growth of the pharmaceutical sector in India are likely to augment the market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
