Global Fibromuscular Dysplasia Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a disease that causes abnormal cell development in the artery wall, which results in narrowing, i.e., stenosis, and enlargement, i.e., aneurysm of the medium-sized arteries in the body.

According to a study published in the Insights into Imaging in 2015, it is found that the prevalence of fibromuscular dysplasia is estimated to be 4%-6% in the renal arteries and 0.3%-3 % in the cervico-encephalic arteries. Fibromuscular dysplasia is most frequently revealed in the kidneys of young patients associated with resistant hypertension secondary to fibrodysplastic renal artery stenosis. It is also reported that fibromuscular dysplasia is found in around 1% of the hypertensive patients, and is the second leading cause of renovascular hypertension after atherosclerotic disease.

Notably, rising prevalence of fibromuscular dysplasia and increasing R&D expenditure are the key factors driving the fibromuscular dysplasia market. In the year 2016, the R&D expenditure in the pharmaceutical Industry was USD 43,047.9 million, suggested by European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Association.

Various other factors such as increasing government assistance, rising healthcare expenditures, improving regulatory framework, and rising funding and reimbursement policies are continuously contributing to the growth of the global fibromuscular dysplasia market. According to the Eurostat data, it is observed that among the European Union Member States, the highest value of healthcare expenditure was recorded in Germany, i.e. EUR 321 billion, which is further followed by France with EUR 237 billion, and the United Kingdom with EUR 223 billion, in 2014.

Despite these driving factors, there are some challenges with fibromuscular dysplasia market. Side-effects of treatment, expiration of patented drugs, the presence of misbranded drugs, and poor healthcare system in low and middle-income countries may hamper the growth of the market to a great extent over the review period 2017-2023.

It is estimated that the fibromuscular dysplasia market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2017-2023.
