The reason behind the growth is impelled by a higher prevalence of diabetes 1. Type 1 diabetes could be linked to other diseases including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which is considered a major cause of hypothyroidism. Moreover, it causes damage to the thyroid gland and may reduce the level of thyroid hormones in the body. Globally, there were approximately 7 million people with type 1 diabetes in 2021.

The growing geriatric population is believed to fuel the myxedema coma market growth. The elderly population is more prone to thyroid dysfunction and other age-related diseases such as diabetes which may increase the risk of myxedema coma. Lately, over 8% of the world's population, is over the age of 65, and by 2050, this ratio is anticipated to rise to around 15%.

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Incidence of Pneumonia- Untreated hypothyroidism can affect the immune system making patients more prone to pneumonia which might increase the risk of the development of myxedema coma.
    Globally, More than 650,000 children under the age of five lose their lives to pneumonia every year, including more than 150,000 newborns.
  • Spiking Prevalence of Chronic Stress- Pre-existing medical conditions may become worse under prolonged stress, and fluctuations in hormones can be brought on by both short-term and long-term stress which can affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis impacting the thyroid hormone production, leading to an increase risk of developing myxedema coma.
    According to statistics, in the UK more than 150,000 people die each year from a stress-related ailment.
  • Increasing Cases of Urine Infections- One of the most typical bacterial infections is UTIs, which may be brought on by bacterial or fungal infections. If UTI is left untreated it may become worse and lead to the development of conditions such as myxedema coma.
    Every year, over 140 million people worldwide are affected by urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Rising Surgical Procedures- Surgical procedures are an excellent choice for treating most ailments owing to the benefits and outcomes provided. Anesthesia is frequently administered during surgical procedures, which can cause severe, potentially fatal myxedema by impairing the thyroid gland's ability to function normally.
    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of individuals undergo surgery every year, and it is estimated that surgical procedures account for 13% of all disability-adjusted life years worldwide.

Challenges

  • High Cost of Treatment– Owing to the frequent need for hospitalization and extensive care, myxedema coma therapy could be costly. The expense of hospitalization could be significant since myxedema coma is often treated in a medical facility, which may include the price of hospital lodging, medical personnel, and medical equipment. Additionally, patients may require continuous care and monitoring after treatment for myxedema coma.

  • Limited Awareness Among People

  • Lack of Specific Treatment
