The global clostridium botulinum market size is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR in the coming five years.
Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that produces a neurotoxin which can cause botulism and botulism is a rare disease but potentially life-threatening. The demand for antitoxins and therapeutics to treat botulism patients has been growing at a good pace in the last few years due to the growing patient population suffering from botulism. The rising emphasis on food safety and hygiene practices worldwide contributes to the growth of the clostridium botulinum market.
The lack of cleanliness in some areas of the world, increased awareness about disease and treatments, increased R&D practices, and the availability of efficient solutions for botulism drive the growth of the clostridium botulinum market. Besides, the disease is getting irradiated slowly owing to solid efforts by WHO and CDC. The growing population worldwide, rising preference for minimally invasive or non-invasive surgeries and increasing investments for R&D activities further propel the global clostridium botulinum market growth. Growing incidences of botulism and increasing awareness regarding the diverse toxic bacteria favor the growth rate of the clostridium botulinum market. The growing number of government measures supporting R&D in the clinical healthcare sector and improved advanced treatment facilities support the market growth.
The increasing number of epidemic diseases, growing healthcare expenditure, and key market participants' interest in setting up their research centers are a big plus to the market growth. For instance, in 2016, Ipsen S.A. received U.S FDA approval for its Dysport injection, which treats children aged two years and above for pediatric lower limb (PLL) used in adults. In 2017, around 7.2 million botulinum injections were used in the United States for cosmetic procedures. The growing number of cosmetic aesthetic procedures successfully intensifies the market growth during the forecast period.
High costs associated with R&D projects, treatment and prevention and government austerity majorly hinder the growth of the clostridium botulinum market. Stringent regulatory requirements and poor awareness and understanding of the disease further hamper the market’s growth rate.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) an emergency public health issue. Governments imposed nationwide lockdowns following strict rules to prevent the virus from the spread. All the hospitals were ordered to stop, cancel, or postpone all non-emergency medical procedures to bring the medical capacities to COVID-19 patients. The pandemic crisis has negatively affected the clostridium botulinum market. People who are suffering from this disease need to take injections every 3 to 4 months. Many missed or canceled their treatment during the lockdown due to the coronavirus's fear. The advantages of botulinum toxin therapeutic are reused to improve COVID-19 intervened diverse pathological effects comprising pulmonary failure, cardiovascular defects, and neurological shortage observed in COVID-19 patients.
