Tourette Syndrome Treatment Market Size

Tourette Syndrome Treatment Market Analysis

The tourette syndrome (TS) treatment market is expected to register a CAGR of 10.4% over the forecast period.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to worsening symptoms, including tics, hyperactivity, rage attacks, obsessions/compulsions, and anxiety amongst virus-affected people, which increased demand for Tourette syndrome treatment drugs. For instance, according to the research study published by the eClinicalMedicine Journal in February 2023, the incidence of tics in young people and children surged across all age and sex groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. As per the same source, the incidence of mental health disorders such as anxiety also increased amongst those suffering from tic symptoms. Hence, the rising incidence of tics symptoms during the initial phase of the pandemic led to an increased demand for medications, therapies, and other treatments for Tourette syndrome. However, with the decrease in COVID-19 cases worldwide, the incidence of tics is also controlled, and the market is expected to register stable growth during the forecast period.

The major factors driving the growth of the market are the increasing cases of Tourette syndrome across the globe and the rising focus on Tourette syndrome research. In addition, increasing research work and studies on Tourette syndrome to investigate underlying causes and treatment efficacy across the globe are also anticipated to propel market growth. For instance, according to the data released by ClinicalTrials.gov in March 2023, Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD) affect approximately 1% of 5-18-year-olds globally. In addition, according to the data released by the ADHD Foundation in March 2022, globally, approximately 1 out of 100 school-aged children have diagnosable TS. As per the same source, more than 300,000 children and adults are living with TS in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, around 85% of people with TS suffer from various neurological diseases such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Anxiety. Moreover, the rising number of clinical trials related to TS is also projected to drive market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in November 2022, Emalex Biosciences closed a Series D funding of around USD 250 million for its phase III trial of ecopipam drug for Tourette syndrome.

Therefore, the high prevalence of TS all over the world and the rising number of clinical trials are projected to drive market growth during the forecast period. However, a lack of awareness about Tourette syndrome in developing regions is likely to impede the market's growth over the forecast period.
