Leprosy Treatment Market Size Worth $ 5,000.33 Million By 2032 | CAGR: 4.6%

The global Leprosy Treatment market size is expected to reach USD 5,000.33 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Leprosy Treatment Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Drug Class (Antibacterial, Leprostatics, Sulfone, Phenazine, Anti-tubercular Drugs, and Others); By Disease Type; By Route of Administration; By Distribution Channel; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023- 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The demand for leprosy treatment is growing more quickly due to the increasing incidence of skin diseases. The prevalence of skin conditions like psoriasis and leprosy has increased in nations like China and India, which has fueled the market. According to the World Health Organization, around 120 countries have leprosy cases, and more than 200,000 cases are reported yearly. Hundreds of millions of people have skin NTDs.

Additionally, leprosy, an NTD, hurts the standard of living of mainly marginalized populations in remote rural areas and causes immense discomfort, suffering, stigmatization, and mental distress. The prevalence of high occurrences provides that some regions of the world experience both high incidence and high transmission rates. In the past 20 years, the WHO estimates that approximately 16 million leprosy cases have been treated. Therefore, the rising prevalence of skin disease and NTD prevalence has increased the demand for leprosy treatment, driving the market's growth over the forecast period.

As per the WHO, the number of people needing interventions for NTDs has fallen by 25% over the past ten years, by about 80 million people between 2020 and 2021. Additionally, there is a consistent decline in the disease burden measured in years of life with a disability. Between 2016 and 2019, more than one billion individuals received treatment annually. By the end of 2022, 47 nations had eliminated at least one NTD. 

However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected NTD programs, which resulted in a decrease in the implementation of community-based interventions, a restriction on access to services provided by healthcare facilities, and negative effects on the supply chains for medical supplies, disrupting this promising trend. As a result, between 2019 and 2020, 34% fewer people were treated for NTDs.
