Artificial Coma Market Insight 2030
The global artificial coma/medically induced coma market size was valued at $640.17 Million in 2020, and is projected to reach $868.63 Million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.1%. Medically induced coma is also known as drug-induced coma. It is induced in patients in case of traumatic brain injury, where there is a need to cure the infection. At that time doctors use certain drugs to induce coma. It is a state of unconsciousness that the body doesn’t feel pain. It is an effective shutdown of the brain activity during surgical procedure of trauma. Shutting down the function of the brain gives time to heal. In addition, there are numerous reasons to induce coma in patients with critical health issues, which includes brain infection such as meningitis and rabies.
Meningitis is an inflammation caused to brain and spinal cord. It causes swelling of the brain. Meningitis includes some types such as bacterial meningitis, viral meningitis, and fungal meningitis. In case of bacterial meningitis, bacteria enter the blood stream and travel to the brain and cause bacterial meningitis. It can be life threatening, if not treated at the right time. Therefore, it requires a surgical procedure to cure the infection. Artificial coma is an option to reduce the pain during surgery and the patient is unaware about this.
Anesthetics are used to induce coma, they are propofol and barbiturate. Propofol is a sedative agent that can be used for the induction of general anesthesia. Propofol slows down the function of the brain. It is used to sedate patients who are under critical care and require a mechanical ventilator in intensive care unit. Moreover, barbiturate is also an anesthetic drug and also called as central nervous system depressant. It is available under the brand names such as butabarbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital and others.
Growth of the global artificial coma market is majorly driven by increase in prevalence of traumatic brain injury; increase in various types of brain infection such as meningitis; increase in cases of wound exposure that causes harm to the brain. Therefore, these aforementioned factors increase the use of anesthetics to induce coma, which drives the growth of the medical induced coma market. According to the American Heart Association Stroke Statistical Update in 2019, there were 101.5 million cases of stroke. Whereas, out of this an ischemic stroke cases was 77.2 million, intracerebral hemorrhage cases were 20.7 million. Thus, rise in burden of stroke is increasing the number of surgeries.
Traumatic brain injury is the main cause of death and disability, there were an approximately 500-800 new cases of traumatic brain injury each year in the U.S and New Zealand. These aforementioned factors led to surge in usage of anesthetics to induce coma during treatment of traumatic brain injury and are anticipated to drive the growth of the medical induced coma market. Furthermore, rise in geriatric population leads to surge in cardiovascular and chronic diseases, these factors fuel the growth of the artificial coma market. For instance, in August 2019, AstraZeneca launched propofol injectable, which is used for the maintenance of general anesthesia for mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care unit. In May 2020, Hikma Pharmaceuticals announced the launch of propofol injectable emulsion for maintenance of sedation and anesthesia. Thus, increase in usage of anesthetics during surgical procedure fuels the market growth.
The presence of key players such as neon laboratories, Claris Life Sciences, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Piramal Healthcare, and rise in initiatives of key players in the field of new drug innovation drives the growth of the artificial coma market.
What is the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Artificial Coma Market?
The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact on the global artificial coma market. At the starting of July 2020, a few cases have been reported brain infection of meningitis with COVID-19 at the same time. Therefore, anesthetics play an important role during treatment, these aforementioned factors are anticipated to drive the artificial coma market during the forecast period.
However, the side effects associated with use of anesthetics for induced coma hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
