Swelling HIV & Hematological Malignancy Prevalence to Boost Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Treatment Market

Increasing prevalence of HIV infection and cancer is expected to boost the growth of global progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treatment market. In terms of indication, HIV/AIDS and hematological malignancies collectively accounted for a total value share of +87% of the global progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treatment market in 2017. Despite advancements in scientific understanding of HIV and its prevention and treatment coupled with significant efforts by government and civil society organizations, most patients living with HIV or at risk of contracting infection, do not have access to optimal prevention, care, and treatment, more so in middle and low income economies. Delayed treatment exposes patients to more fatal diseases like progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Studies show that approximately 80% of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy patients have AIDS. Use of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected patients is expected to boost the global progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treatment market.

Moreover, growing prevalence of hematological malignancy and early diagnosis of PML as a first line of treatment are key factors promoting the global progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treatment market. PML is mostly reported in patients suffering from homological malignancy, solid tumors, and in organ transplant recipients.

Since, overall healthcare investments have significantly increased, across the globe, governments are making efforts to deliver quality treatment and care to HIV patients, typically antiretroviral therapy. Favorable reimbursements and insurance options for HIV and cancer treatment and people with pre-existing HIV conditions, will not just provide financial assistance in low and middle income economies, but also help in early diagnosis of PML, further driving the global progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treatment market. Cost-effective diagnosis and treatment camps by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) would further contribute to the global growth of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treatment market.
