Stroke Therapeutics Market Analysis
The stroke therapeutics market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.
Due to the presence of a huge stroke patient base across the world, there is a need for innovative and safe stroke treatment. Currently, only Tissue Plasminogen Activators (TPA) therapy is approved for stroke treatment. Additionally, surgery and removing clots by using a stent retriever are some of the other options available to recover from the stroke. Anti-platelets, anti-coagulants, and anti-convulsant are utilized for the further management of stroke. Covid-19 has significantly impacted the overall healthcare industry. Though it does not directly impact the stroke therapy market, however, there was a disruption in the supply chain of diagnostic & treatment devices and therapeutics. Additionally, many industry players reduced their investment in further development of innovative therapy due to financial losses during the Covid-19 period.
There is a huge population with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases due to a sedentary lifestyle, and these are the key risk factors for stroke. According to data published by World Stroke Organization (WSO) in 2022, About 12 million (12,224,551) people experienced a stroke in 2019. The organization stated that there are more than 12.2 million new strokes each year, and globally, one in four people after 25 years of age experience a stroke in their lifetime. Hence, the increasing burden of patients globally is expected to drive market growth.
Patent expiry of branded drugs in recent years may impede the therapeutics market growth. For instance, Xarelto's (Rivaroxaban) US7585860 patent expired in December 2020, and the US7585860 patent is expected to expire by June 2022. Already, Breckenridge, Aurobindo, Hec Pharma, Invagen, Mylan, SigmaPharma, Microlabs, Torrent, Sun (Taro), Teva, Prinston Pharma, Alembic, Macleods, Lupin, and Accord (Intas) filed Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for the same drug. Hence, the entry of several generic is likely to increase pricing pressure on the market players, and this factor may hamper the market growth.
