The increasing number of patients with acute ischemic stroke and technological innovations in diagnostics (Neurological CT scans and MRI scans) are the main factors driving the market growth.

In 2019, the prevalence of ischemic stroke was over 2%, with over 15 million diagnoses made across the globe. According to the latest report by the American Heart Association, the incidence of stroke in the United States was 3.5% in 2020, and these numbers will increase further to reach 3.89% by 2030.  In addition, compared to 1999, a 2-3-fold increase in the number of neurologists was observed in all countries. As a result, the increasing incidence of stroke with more episodes is becoming very common, contributing to the market's growth.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 15.69 million people suffer from stroke each year worldwide. As a result, 5.55 million die, and another 5.21 million are permanently disabled. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 140,500 people dying each year from stroke in the United States. The main risk factors that increase the risk of stroke among US citizens are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, sedentary lifestyles, and lack of exercise. High blood pressure contributes to over 13 million strokes worldwide.

The main obstacle to developing the market for the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke is the clinical trial, which includes prolonged trials of the drug after the onset of the stroke. In addition to the initial investment cost for purchasing the imaging equipment is around $ 8.56 million each year. These factors play a negative role in the studied market growth.
