Global Epidural Abscess Treatment Market - 2024-2031

Global Epidural Abscess Treatment Market - 2024-2031

The global epidural abscess treatment market reached US$ XX million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2031 growing with a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

An epidural abscess is an infection within the epidural space anywhere in the brain or spinal cord. Epidural abscesses occur as a result of infections involving the spinal or cranial epidural space. Intracranial epidural abscesses (IEA) are complications of cranial surgery or trauma, they may also develop as complications of otorhinolaryngological infections or other neck and thoracic procedures.

The epidural abscess treatment market includes antibiotics such as vancomycin, gentamicin, and ceftriaxone are commonly used to treat epidural abscesses, often in combination with surgical intervention. Antifungal medications may be used in cases of fungal epidural abscesses and surgical procedures like decompression, open or minimally invasive techniques are often required to drain the abscess and relieve pressure on the spinal cord or brain. Surgery is the first line of treatment for epidural abscess infection.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Rising prevalence of neurological disorder

The demand for the global epidural abscess treatment market is driven by multiple factors. One of the primary factors is the rising prevalence of neurological disorders. Neurological disorders encompass medical conditions that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The rising prevalence of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is another significant factor driving the epidural abscess treatment market.

According to Medspace Neurology in May 2022, the incidence of spinal epidural abscess presenting to large tertiary care centers is estimated to be about 0.2-2.8 cases per 10,000 admissions.

Similarly, in May 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to investigate increased reports of brain abscesses in children, which includes a 2022 cluster from Nevada's Clark County that was detailed last week at the CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) annual meeting in Atlanta.

Epidural abscess treatment is a crucial approach for managing these neurological disorders. It typically involves timely surgical drainage of the abscess and antibiotic therapy, which helps prevent compression of the spinal cord and nerves, relieving pressure. For instance, in March 2022, the Alzheimer's Association, a nonprofit organization in the United States, reported that the number of Americans aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer's is expected to increase from an estimated 6.7 million in 2023 to 12.7 million by 2050. As neurological disorders become more prevalent, the demand for effective epidural abscess treatment market.

Restraints

Factors such as the high cost of treatment, limited awareness among individuals, complications & adverse effects associated with the treatment, antibiotic resistance, regulatory challenges, and availability of limited treatment options, are expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global epidural abscess treatment is segmented based on type, treatment, end-user, and region.

The surgery segment accounted for approximately 56.5% of the global epidural abscess treatment market share

The surgery segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. Epidural abscess is a rare infection of the lumbar spine, with the highest prevalence in the lumbar spine (50%), followed by the thoracic spine (38%) and cervical spine (12%).

According to the Frontiers research publication in August 2023, surgery is the initial treatment option for epidural abscesses, and it is usually combined with antibiotic therapy. A classic surgical procedure is a total laminectomy, which requires the spinous process and both vertebral lamina to be taken out, as well as a portion of the posterior longitudinal ligament to be cut to open the intervertebral space and drain the abscess.

Surgery involves draining the abscess and removing any infected tissue. This can help to prevent the abscess from spreading and causing further damage. For instance, in 2022, globally approximately 350 million spinal surgeries were performed.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 42.3% of the global epidural abscess treatment market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period owing to the mysterious increase in rare pediatric intracranial abscesses and high healthcare expenditures that are driving the market in this region.

Disease detectives with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating a cluster of rare and serious brain abscesses in kids in and around Las Vegas, Nevada, and doctors from other parts of the country say they may be seeing a rise in cases. In 2022, the number of brain abscesses in kids tripled in Nevada, rising from an average of four to five a year to 18.

The increasing prevalence of intravenous drug use and rising awareness among people regarding epidural abscesses, coupled with the surge in early detection and treatment, is propelling this market growth. For instance, as reported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in June 2023, there was a global estimate of 13.2 million people engaged in injecting drugs in 2021, signifying an 18% increase from the 11.2 million reported in 2020. Hence, the growing incidence of intravenous drug use is poised to be a significant driver of the epidural abscess treatment market's expansion.

Moreover, key players' strategies such as mergers and acquisitions would propel this market growth in this region. For instance, in March 2022, AbbVie announced it had completed the acquisition of Syndesi Therapeutics SA, which will help to expand AbbVie's neuroscience portfolio.

This acquisition gives AbbVie access to Syndesi's portfolio of novel modulators of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), including its lead molecule SDI-118. The mechanism is currently being evaluated for the potential treatment of cognitive impairment and other symptoms associated with a range of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder.
