Global Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Treatment Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

As for the impact of COVID-19 on the MPS treatment market, it's important to note that the pandemic has had significant effects on the healthcare industry as a whole. Some potential impacts on the MPS treatment market due to COVID-19 might include:

Delayed Research and Clinical Trials: COVID-19 restrictions and safety concerns might have led to delays in ongoing research and clinical trials for MPS treatments, potentially affecting their development and approval timelines.

Access to Healthcare: The pandemic's strain on healthcare systems might have affected the accessibility of MPS treatments for patients, especially those who required regular in-person care or hospital visits.

Supply Chain Disruptions: COVID-19 has caused disruptions in global supply chains, which might have impacted the availability of MPS medications and other related healthcare products.

Economic Challenges: Economic downturns and financial hardships faced by individuals and governments due to the pandemic could have affected healthcare spending and insurance coverage for MPS treatments.

Global Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Treatment Market Segmentation:

The global mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) treatment market report is segmented  Treatment Type, MPS Type, End User, and Region.

By Treatment, the market is segmented into enzyme replacement therapy and stem cell therapy. Out of which, the enzyme replacement therapy segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the global mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) treatment market during the forecast period, and this is attributed to the increasing prevalence of mucopolysaccharidosis (Hunter syndrome).

By MPS Type, the market is segmented into MPS-I, MPS-II, MPS-IV, MPS-VI, MPS-VII, and Others (MPS-III and MPS-IX). Out of which, the MPS-II segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to the increasing the prevalence of MPS-II coupled with presence of multiple treatment options

By End User, the market is segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, and others. Out of which, the hospitals segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed increase in hospital expenditure.

Among all the segments, the treatment segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to the easy availability and continuous approvals remains key factors, which is expected to boost the growth of the segment market over the forecast period.

Global Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Treatment Market Cross Sectional Analysis:

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a standard of care for several types of rare diseases and consists of replacing the deficient or absent enzyme with a functional recombinant version through intravenous administration in North America. For instance, as per an article published in October 2021, it has been observed that pabinafusp alfa is effective against both the somatic and central nervous system (CNS) symptoms of patients with MPS-II as it can pass through the blood-brain barrier to reach the central nervous tissues. Thus, the high efficacy and safety of the novel enzyme drug are expected to increase its adoption for treating patients with Huntington's syndrome, thereby propelling the market growth.

*Definition: Mucopolysaccharidosis refers to a group of inherited conditions in which the body is unable to properly breakdown mucopolysaccharides, a long chain of sugar molecules that are found in the body. As a result, these sugars build up in cells, blood, and connective tissues, which can lead to several health problems. There are seven forms of mucopolysaccharidosis. Generally, most of the affected people appear healthy at birth and experience a period of normal development, followed by a decline in physical or mental function. As the condition progresses, it may affect appearance, physical abilities, organ and system functioning, and in most cases, cognitive development. The underlying genetic cause varies by form.
