Increase in the occurrence of acute pancreatitis to propel market growth
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, approximately 275,000 Americans are hospitalized for acute pancreatitis yearly (NIDDK). When the pancreas swells up and becomes irritated, pancreatitis results (swollen). It is not a widespread illness. The most common reasons are gallstones or binge drinking.
The illness may grow gradually over time or manifest suddenly, causing great injury. Treatment for pancreatitis may include intravenous (IV) fluids, painkillers, and other medicines. The increase in the occurrence of acute pancreatitis on a global scale will be a key factor in the market's increased growth rate. Gallstones and heavy drinking, especially among younger people, are the main causes of acute pancreatitis.
Gallstones are the most frequent cause of AP, accounting for 28 to 38 percent of cases, and alcohol consumption is the second-most common cause, accounting for 19 to 41 percent of cases, according to an article published in the World Journal of Clinical Cases- Evaluation and management of acute pancreatitis in 2019. The likelihood of developing acute pancreatitis increases as the number of people with gallstones rises. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.
Furthermore, globally, chronic comorbidities are becoming more common, and there is an increasing curiosity about how these comorbidities affect those with acute pancreatitis. In the early stages of acute pancreatitis, for instance, it has been discovered that gastrointestinal symptoms are linked to pre-existing metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome, according to a research paper published in BioMed Hub in November 2021.
A PLOS One paper from June 2021 claims that obesity is also a big public health issue in France because it increases the likelihood of developing chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions with severe psychological and social repercussions. As a result, the increasing prevalence of obesity raises people's chance of getting pancreatitis due to overeating habits, which is expected to drive the segment's rise over the forecast period.
The studied market is therefore anticipated to expand throughout the forecast period due to variables like the rising prevalence of obesity and the growing utilization of IV therapy.
However, the market will grow due to an increase in the elderly population and government measures to raise awareness. Along with this, shifting consumer lifestyles and expanding government-welcoming measures will accelerate market expansion. A rise in the quantity of R&D activities is another factor driving the market's expansion. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate acute pancreatitis market revenue globally.
The rising prevalence of acute pancreatitis, coupled with advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, suggests a transformative shift in the management of this condition, potentially enhancing patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.
