Peripheral Neuritis Treatment Market - Regional Analysis

North America Market Insight

The peripheral neuritis treatment market in North America is expected to hold the highest market share with 40% within the forecast period. Burgeoning incidences of peripheral neuropathy, most notably in elderly adults, are generating a significant market for diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Higher rates in U.S. cohorts (NHANES, ARIC) possibly entail a greater demand for early screening tools such as monofilament testing. Governmental interest is increasing, with specific potential for policy changes leading toward a broader scope of PN screening beyond diabetes populations. More changes in funding and R&D are going into idiopathic PN causes and non-diabetic interventions, while peer pricing remains competitive with rises in public health awareness and clinical demand.

U.S. market is growing steadily. There is an alarmingly high and rising prevalence of peripheral neuropathies, especially among adults aged ≥70, including those without diabetes. With an enlarging disease burden, market considerations for PN diagnostics and interventions also grow. As per a study by Foundations for Peripheral Neuropathy, January 2023, NIH spends 210 million USD on peripheral neuropathy each year. Federal health agencies could fund expanded screening, whereas academic centers focus research and development on idiopathic PN. This strong association with age, race, and duration of diabetes should be considered in targeted programs and cost-effective clinical strategies on a nationwide scale.
