Ataxia refers to a group of degenerative neurological diseases that affect coordination and movement center of the brain (cerebellum). People suffering from ataxia have difficulty in swallowing, speech, and maintaining balance or coordination. Ataxia can be classified into three types on the basis of cause: acquired ataxia, genetic ataxia, and idiopathic ataxia. Acquired ataxia is caused by external factors such as vitamin deficiencies, head trauma, microbial infection, brain tumor, and exposure to drugs or alcohol. Genetic ataxia is caused when a damaged gene which leads to ataxia is passed from one generation to the other. Idiopathic ataxia is a condition wherein the cause is unknown. Few of the symptoms associated with ataxia include decreasing coordination, trouble in walking, impaired balance with frequent falls, loss of fine motor skills, muscle tremors, slurred speech, vision problems, and others. Ataxia can develop at any age and is progressive in nature i.e. it worsens with time.
The increasing incidence of ataxia, rising research and development activities for the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of ataxia, and increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as acquisitions and collaborations by key players operating in the market, are the major factors that are expected to drive growth of the global ataxia market over the forecast period.
For instance, according to an article published by the Clinical and Translational Neuroscience journal, in August 2018, it is estimated that the global occurrence rate of ataxia is 26/100,000 in children wherein the occurrence rate for dominant hereditary cerebellar ataxia is 2.7/100,000 and the occurrence rate for recessive hereditary cerebellar ataxia 3.3/100,000, as of 2018.
