Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market was valued at USD 333.8 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 345.2 million in 2025, growing to USD 446.6 million by 2033, with a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.

Another name for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is Lou Gehrig's illness. This degenerative neurological condition damages the nerve cells in the nervous system that control voluntary muscles. Muscle atrophy resulting in twitching, stiffness, and weakness of the arms and hands is a common characteristic of the illness. The most prevalent type of motor neuron disease, ALS, causes the body's cells to deteriorate and die, making it difficult for the brain to regulate voluntary movements. Patients with ALS lose their ability to swallow, breathe, walk, and use their hands in about half of their cases. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) states that respiratory failure often results in the death of individuals with ALS within three to five years of increasing paralysis.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 had a major effect on the market under study since it changed not just the processes for diagnosis and treatment but also the field's R&D efforts. For example, in June 2020, the World Health Organization released the findings of a survey that was carried out over three weeks in 155 countries in May 2020. The results indicated a severe disruption in the prevention and treatment services of a variety of chronic diseases, including many neurodegenerative disorders. This has become a serious concern because individuals with chronic illnesses are more likely to suffer from severe COVID-19-related illness or even pass away. As a result, COVID-19 hurt the market under study.
