Mitochondrial Disorders Treatment Market | Growth, Trends And Forecast (2023–2028)

 


Mitochondrial disorders are inherited chronic disorders characterized by a wide range of biochemical and genetic mitochondrial defects and mutations. The disorder affects multiple organs, which includes brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney, and respiratory systems. The patients with mitochondrial disorders often suffer from muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, and fatigue due to reduction in mitochondrial respiration, which is caused due to mitochondrial DNA mutations leading to reduced ability to produce cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Despite major advances in understanding of the molecular mechanisms, currently there are no effective treatments for the disease. The treatment of mitochondrial disorders is mostly performed with different vitamins, co-factors, off-label drugs approved for other indications, and nutritional supplements. However, the research organizations and pharmaceutical companies are involved in development of novel drugs with technology advancements including the use of biomarkers, replacement therapies and sophisticated trial designs, thus creating a lucrative opportunity for the market growth.

Mitochondrial Disorders Treatment Market: Market Dynamics

Increasing prevalence of mitochondrial disorders causing significant morbidity and mortality combined with the higher potential of genetic transmission to the next generation are the factors driving the market growth. According to the Wellcome Center for Mitochondrial Research, 2015, about 10 people per 100,000 have a mitochondrial disorders, which often express first in early childhood. According to the Genetic and Rare Disease Information Center, women with mitochondrial genetic disorders have 50% chance with each pregnancy of passing along the altered gene to the offspring, thus indicating the rising burden of the disease. Also, the mitochondrial disorders treatment market is expected to gain significant traction in the future, as the pharmaceutical drugs approved for the treatment of primary mitochondrial disease have orphan drug status, thereby having a greater potential for market approval than conventional pharmaceuticals. Moreover, the approval of novel drug molecules from the regulatory agencies is expected to create a lucrative opportunity for the growth of mitochondrial disorders treatment market. For instance, in April 2018, NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB received orphan drug designation to KL1333 by the US Food and Drug administration (FDA) for the treatment of inherited mitochondrial respiratory chain diseases (MRCD).

Mitochondrial Disorders Treatment Market: Regional Dynamics

Regional segmentation of the global mitochondrial disorders treatment market by Coherent Market Insights comprises North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global mitochondrial disorders treatment market over the forecast period, owing to increasing prevalence of the disease and the rising number of initiatives to spread awareness and support novel drug development. According to the Institute of Medicine, U.S., 2015, an estimated 30,000 Americans are suffering from inherited defects in their mitochondria. Also, according to the Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine, an estimated 1,000 children per year are born with some form of mitochondrial disease in the U.S. Moreover, the North American Mitochondrial Disease Consortium (NAMDC), a part of Rare Disease Clinical Research Network (RDCRN), specially works towards collecting information from mitochondrial disease patients in a clinical patient registry, thereby helping researchers to identify and recruit patients for future studies.

The Global Autoclave Equipment Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Rising Demand from Healthcare Sectors for Sterilizing Medical Equipment to Ensure the Safety of the Post-Surgical Period

  Autoclave equipment is the most popular sterilization method in the industry and is used for many applications including the manufacture of food products. It is widely used in the foodservice industry to sterilize and cleanse equipment used in the process of preparing and serving food. The autoclave is the abbreviated form of autolysis which means oxidation. Autoclaves have various parts including an electric motor, a condenser, and a burner. Autoclave equipment includes vials for sealing the autoclave, a glass or plastic container that has been lined with wax or plastic, and the appropriate autoclave equipment accessories such thermometer for measuring the temperature of the autoclave. All modern steam sterilizing equipment & autoclave machines provide a much-refined workflow experience, which makes you reconsider whether or not steam sterilizing is all it can be. A wide range of sterilization methods is used for sterilizing your medical and laboratory specimen so the right ...

Treprostinil Drugs Market - High Prevalence of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and R&D of New Formulations of Treprostinil to Augment Growth of market

  Treprostinil is an antihypertensive agent used to treat patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can also be used in the treatment of Degos disease, an extremely rare disorder in which small and medium sized arteries become blocked (occlusive arteriopathy), restricting the flow of blood to affected areas. Market Dynamics High prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension is expected to propel growth of the treprostinil drugs market . For instance, according to the study, ‘High Geographic Prevalence of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension: Associations with Ethnicity, Drug Use, and Altitude’, published in February 2020, in the journal Pulmonary Circulation, the overall pulmonary arterial hypertension incidence was 14 cases per million and the annual period prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension was 93 cases per million. Decline in new prescriptions for treprostinil-based products is expected to hinder growth of the treprostinil drugs market. For instance, United The...
