Global Quadriplegia Treatment Market: Growth Drivers

The growing prevalence of spinal cord injury propels the market growth

Quadriplegia is caused by damage to the spinal cord that occurs as a result of trauma to the base of the skull or the neck. Quadriplegia is caused by a variety of factors including paralysis following spinal tumors, accidents, and other spinal disorders. A spinal cord injury can result in half or complete limb paralysis. It is been reported that every year, approximately 250,000 -500,000 people worldwide have a spinal cord injury. The majority of these occurrences are the result of avoidable factors such as car accidents and violence. Annually, around 17,000 instances of spinal cord injury are reported in the United States, with an estimated 282,000 people living with the condition. Such a huge burden of disease is estimated to boost the demand for quadriplegia treatment, thereby driving the market growth. In addition to this, high spending power and heavy investment in the development of healthcare infrastructure are also estimated to fuel the market growth.

Quadriplegia Treatment Market: Restraints

High costs associated with the treatment hinder the market growth

The least frequent kind of spinal cord damage, complete quadriplegia, is also the most severe. Quadriplegia can have tremendous long-term costs. In general, it varies based on the patient's age. The cost of total quadriplegia during the first year itself is estimated to be $1,064,716. Quadriplegia costs approximately $184,891 each year for the rest of the patient's life. A catastrophic injury case, on the other hand, might ask for much more, because these statistics don't account for the patient's mental anguish, suffering & pain, decreased earning ability, and lost income. Thus, such a high cost of quadriplegia treatment may hamper the growth of the market.

Quadriplegia Treatment Market: Opportunities

Technological advancements in the medical field are likely to spur the market growth

Technical advances and a range of R&D activities in the domain of quadriplegia therapy will be two of the major drivers driving the global quadriplegia treatment market in the coming years. Patients with spinal injuries have become more aware of the many therapeutic options available to assist them in overcoming their challenges. Further, major players are investing heavily in drug discovery and development for innovative & effective treatment. All these factors collectively are predicted to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
