Niemann pick disease type c treatment market

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a rare genetic disorder that is a type of lysosomal storage disorder. NPC leads to accumulation of cholesterol and other fatty substances in different tissues of the body, such as brain and others. The onset of specific symptoms for NPC varies from person to person. In most cases, the symptoms appear in the childhood, which progresses to cause life-threatening complications with increasing age. NPC occurs as a result of mutations in the NPC 1 gene and NPC 2 gene, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Vitamin B12

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Several countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regards to transportation and distribution of healthcare products.

Thus, Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is negatively impacted growth of the global Niemann-pick disease drug type C treatment market during the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruptions to clinical trial execution in the U.S., impacting key stakeholders across the industry. Investigative site capabilities experienced upheaval, driven by staff furloughs, social-distancing protocols, financial losses, and concerns over patient safety. Sponsors, CROs (clinical research organizations), and other organizations that support drug development shifted to remote working environments. For instance, according to Lancet 2020, an estimated 80% of non- COVID-19 trials were stopped or interrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global Niemann-Pick Disease Drug Type C Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 45.40  million in 2022, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR 22.0 % over the forecast period (2022-2030).
