Acoustic neuroma, also known as
vestibular schwannoma, is a rare benign schwann cell tumor. It is
usually a slow-growing tumor that develops on the main (vestibular)
portion of the eighth cranial nerve leading from the inner ear to the
brain. Acoustic neuroma is not malignant and does not spread to other
parts of the body. Therefore, symptoms are often subtle and may take
many years to develop. The common signs and symptoms of the condition
are dizziness, hearing loss and ringing in the ears, unsteadiness, and
loss of balance. As the tumor grows, it may cause more noticeable or
severe signs and symptoms. Acoustic neuromas are diagnosed in 2,000 to
3,000 people annually, an incidence of 1 per 100,000 per year.
Report Overview @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/acoustic-neuroma-market.html
Based on region, the acoustic neuroma
market can be categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific,
Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America and Europe
accounted for a major share of the acoustic neuroma market. According to
a Research Office Legislative Council Secretariat report, there are
over 30 million people suffering from rare diseases in the U.S. Strong
focus on research and development and government aid to promote R&D
such as research grants, tax credits, and fee waivers contribute to the
expansion of the market. Europe accounted for a prominent share of the
orphan drugs sector. According to the Research Office Legislative
Council Secretariat report, in 2015, between 25-30 million people were
suffering from rare diseases in the European Union. Incentives offered
to promote the manufacture of orphan drugs in the region, such as
10-year period of marketing exclusivity, research grants, and reduced
fees for marketing authorization applications, boost the acoustic
neuroma market. Over 1,805 drugs have been granted orphan drug status in
the European Union, and over 128 drugs were granted marketing authority
from 2000 to 2016. For instance, in December 2017, PLX-100, a Polaryx
Therapeutic drug, received orphan drug designation from the U.S. FDA for
the treatment of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs).
Players operating in the global acoustic neuroma market are Genentech, Inc., MED-EL, GlaxoSmithKline plc., Novartis AG, Shandong Simcere-Medgenn Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, and AstraZeneca.
