Market Definition

The term fibrosis describes the development of fibrous connective tissue as a reparative response to injury or damage. Fibrosis may refer to the connective tissue deposition that occurs as part of normal healing or to the excess tissue deposition that occurs as a pathological process. Diseases characterized by uncontrolled, progressive fibrosis include Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), and Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).

Fibrosis is a group of serious organ/tissue diseases that affect the tissue system. Fibrosis scars and thickens the tissue. It impacts the connecting tissue, for instance, in the lung and the alveoli (air sacs inside the lungs). The lung damage gradually gets worse over time. Hard, stiff lung tissues don't expand as well as they should, making it harder to breathe. Pulmonary fibrosis may cause shortness of breath when you do routine tasks that never seemed tiring before.

Middle East and Africa Fibrotic Diseases Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising prevalence of fibrotic diseases

Due to various risk factors such as aging, obesity, high blood pressure (hypertension), or family history of fibrotic disease, patients with fibrotic diseases are rising Middle East and Africaly and becoming a significant socio-economic issue. Thus, the rising number of patients with fibrotic diseases increases the demand for treatment, which act as a driver in the fibrotic diseases treatment market.

• Increase in the number of people smoking cigarettes

Cigarette smoking is one of the most recognized risk factors for the development of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Furthermore, recent work suggests that smoking may have a detrimental effect on the survival of patients with IPF. The mechanism by which smoking may contribute to the pathogenesis of IPF is largely unknown. However, accumulating evidence suggests that increased oxidative stress might promote disease progression in IPF patients who are current and former smokers.

Thus cigarette smoke contains particulate matter as well as numerous chemicals, including highly toxic RONS, which increases the swelling inside the body and hence lead to various diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis, cancer among others, which is expected to drive the growth of fibrotic diseases treatment market.

• Technological advancement in the treatment of fibrosis diseases

IPF is characterized by the progressive accumulation of scar tissue in the lung and is associated with a median life expectancy of 2–4 years. Until recently, treatment options were limited, focusing on ineffective anti-inflammatory therapy, palliation, transplant, or trial recruitment. Significant recent advances in the field have led to two novel anti-fibrotic agents, pirfenidone and nintedanib, which have been shown to significantly slow disease progression in IPF.

Thus increasing technological advancements for the detection and treatment of fibrotic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the fibrotic diseases treatment market.

Opportunities

• Rising research and development activities

The research and development activities have significantly opened various ways for the treatment of several diseases. The emerging technological advancements, along with the appropriate research, lead to the formation of several drugs for the treatment of diseases. Most people associate a company's research and development function with the invention of new products. While inventions are important, the development of existing products is of equal significance as consumer preferences are continually changing.

Thus, rising research and development activities for fibrotic disease medications and treatment are expected to act as opportunities for the growth of the fibrotic diseases treatment market.

• Development of new and more effective therapies for fibrotic diseases

There are very few treatment options available for fibrotic diseases. These include medication which includes pirfenidone and nintedanib, oxygen therapy, organ transplantation, and pulmonary rehabilitation.

Hence the rising development of new and more effective therapies for fibrotic diseases will provide new opportunities in the fibrotic diseases treatment market.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost of medication and treatments

Fibrotic disease treatments have become increasingly expensive due to the growing number of patients suffering from fibrosis and the risen prices of medical devices and medications. The modern technological devices used in fibrosis treatment are also playing a significant role in the high prices of treatments, and high accuracy, providing a definitive diagnosis for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Therefore, the high cost of medications and treatment procedures for fibrotic disease is hampering the market's growth.

Hence, the high cost associated with the medication and treatment of fibrotic disease is expected to restrict the growth of the fibrotic diseases treatment market.

• Lack of effective biomarkers and diagnostic tools for early detection and monitoring of fibrotic diseases

Biomarkers can be measurements of physiological and pathological processes or drug effects. For instance, they can distinguish the disease from health or other similar diseases (a diagnostic); they can predict mortality, exacerbation, and disease progression (a prognostic); and as well as predict a response to therapy (a theranostic).

Therefore, the limited availability of chest imaging in developing countries is considered a chief obstacle to diagnosis since high-resolution computed tomography of the chest is the key diagnostic test for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Further, obtaining reliable lung function tests and providing treatment access is difficult in the more rural areas of these countries, which is expected to restrain the growth of the fibrotic diseases treatment market.

• The complex and multifactorial nature of fibrotic diseases.

Although complex fibrotic disorders often cluster in families, they do not have a clear-cut pattern of inheritance. It may be difficult to identify the role of genetics in these disorders, particularly because families often also share environments and may have similar lifestyles. This makes it difficult to determine a person's risk of inheriting or passing on these disorders. Complex disorders are also difficult to study and treat because the specific factors that cause most of these disorders have not yet been identified.

Hence the complex and multifactorial nature of fibrotic disease is expected to challenge the fibrotic diseases treatment market.
