The muscle spasticity market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4,167.6 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

 

Market Overview:


Muscle spasticity refers to a medical condition characterized by involuntary tightening or contracting of muscles. It is commonly seen in patients suffering from neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord injury. The spasticity treatment landscape has evolved significantly over the past decade with the approval and launch of new pharmaceutical treatment options. Currently, various oral, injectable and topical drugs are available for short-term and long-term management of muscle spasticity.

 

Market Dynamics:


Growing geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of muscle spasticity market over the forecast period. Rising life expectancy has resulted in exponential growth of the geriatric population worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population aged 60 years and older is expected to grow by 56% to reach nearly 2.1 billion by 2050. Since age is a key risk factor for diseases that lead to spasticity like stroke and MS, increasing geriatric population base would elevate the patient pool for spasticity treatment. Additionally, there has been a rapid influx of novel therapeutic options approved in recent years including botulinum toxin injections and oral agents. Some of the major drugs launched in the past 5 years include Xeomin, Zhangtou and Corrid. This increasing availability of diverse treatment options has enabled improved management of disease symptoms and enhanced quality of life of patients.
