Global Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Market, 2017-2027: Launch of Five Pipeline Agents that Aim to Extend Patient Survival Driving Market Growth

DUBLIN, Jan. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Opportunity Analysis and Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) drug sales in 2017 were approximately $187M across the seven major markets - the US, 5EU (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK), and Japan. Over the 10-year forecast period, the market is expected to grow to $1.2B at a CAGR of 19.4%. This growth will be driven by the launch of six late-stage pipeline products. Currently, the highest-selling drug in the market is Mitsubishi's Radicava (edaravone).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron degenerative disease which affects both upper motor neurons (UMN) and lower motor neurons (LMN). It is a progressive disease, with patients becoming increasingly dependent on carers and physicians as time from onset increases, and ultimately, it is fatal. ALS can be split into two origins, hereditary - which is known as FALS (Familial ALS) or idiopathic - known as SALS (sporadic ALS).

The major drivers of growth in the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) market during the forecast period include:

• The launch of five pipeline agents that aim to extend patient survival. These drugs will be used as adjunctive therapies to Rilutek and Radicava.
• The launch of BrainStorm Therapeutics' NurOwn stem cell therapy, which has the potential to significantly slow the progression of the disease and is, expected to expand the market in the future. Biologic products have a high cost of therapy and as such are expected to generate high sales.

The major barriers to growth in the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) market during the forecast period will be:

• Major brands are expected to see their patents expire throughout the forecast period, which will act as a barrier as cheap generic versions of the drug will enter the market.
• Due to the rarity of the disease, recruiting a representative patient sample for clinical trials can be difficult and may slow the clinical trial development process.

The report "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Opportunity Analysis and Forecast to 2027", is aimed to:

• Assess the current competitive landscape and its evolution over the forecast period (2017-2027)
