Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), also kown as immotile ciliary syndrome or Kartagener syndrome. Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare disorder and is a type of chronic respiratory tract infections, normally occurs in internal organs of human body. The major symptoms of this condition are caused by abnormal cilia and flagella. Normally cilia are microscopic, finger-like projections that stick out from the surface of cells. They are found in the linings of the airway, the reproductive system, and other organs and tissues. Flagella are tail-like structures, similar to cilia that propel sperm cells forward.
In some cases, mutations in the genes can cause primary ciliary dyskinesia result in defective cilia that move abnormally or are unable to move. As cilia have many important functions within the body, defects in these cell structures cause diseased condition
Increasing prevalence of respiratory tract diseases is one of the major factors for the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2014), 9.3 million adults diagnosed with respiratory problems. Whereas, 147,101 deaths occurred due to chronic lower respiratory diseases.It is predicted to be the 3rd most death causing factor.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 7 million deaths occur each year of which more than 6 million deaths result from direct use of tobacco. Moreover, According to Eurostat’s, (2014), COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) affected more than 200 million people worldwide and is one of the major diseases whose prevalence is increasing across the globe.
However, high cost of the current treatment methods and lack of awareness about rare respiratory diseases such as primary ciliary dyskinesia may hamper the market growth over the review period.
The global primary ciliary dyskinesia market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~6.7% during the forecast period 2017-2023.
