Complex decongestive therapy (CDT): This starts with an intensive therapy phase, during which the patient receives daily treatment and training. This is followed by the maintenance phase when the patient is encouraged to take over their care using techniques they have been taught.

Mutations may cause primary lymphedema in some of the genes involved in developing the lymphatic system. These faulty genes interfere with the lymphatic system's development, undermining its ability to drain fluid properly.

Secondary lymphedema has a number of possible causes, including cancer surgery, radiation therapy, infections, inflammatory conditions, cardiovascular diseases, injury, and trauma

Market Definition

Lymphedema refers to tissue swelling caused by an accumulation of protein-rich fluid usually drained through the body's lymphatic system. It most commonly affects the arms or legs but can also occur in the chest wall, abdomen, neck, and genitals.

Lymph nodes are an important part of your lymphatic system. Lymphedema can be caused by cancer treatments that remove or damage your lymph nodes. Any problem that blocks the drainage of lymph fluid can cause lymphedema.

Treatment may include compression bandages, massage, compression stockings, sequential pneumatic pumping, careful skincare, and surgery to remove swollen tissue or create new drainage routes.

The high prevalence of cancers, increasing innovations and technologies and rising number of players in the market, and novel product launches also propel the market's growth.

North America Lymphedema Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in the number of Lymphedema Cases

The collection of lymph fluid in fatty tissues close beneath the skin is called lymphedema. The ailment is caused by a person's poor lymphatic system flow, and it manifests itself in the legs, arms, or both. Primary lymphedema affects one to two million persons in the United States, while secondary lymphedema affects two to three million.

• Increase in the Prevalence of Cancers

According to the National Cancer Institute, 1,806,590 new cancer cases will be identified in the United States in 2020, with 606,520 people dying from the disease.

According to the American Cancer Society, Inc, cancer is the main cause of death in Canada and the second-highest cause in the United States, behind heart disease. In 2018, it was anticipated that 1.9 million new cancer cases and 693,000 cancer deaths would occur in North America.

Furthermore, an increasing number of healthcare facilities and multiple therapies are the factors that will expand the lymphedema treatment market.  Additionally, the healthcare system requires highly advanced treatment products. Therefore, major players are highly focused on new and innovative product launches and approvals to drive the North America lymphedema treatment market. 

Opportunities

• Drug Approvals

The market has witnessed numerous drug approvals in past years, driven by the increasing fatality rate of disease. Increasing drug approvals will ramp up the demand for the lymphedema treatment market.

In July 2015, Siltuximab was the first drug to be approved to treat multicentric castleman's disease under the FDA priority review program in the US. The multicentric castleman's disease enlarges the lymph nodes with characteristic findings in multiple lymph node regions.

Moreover, partnerships and agreements by major players in North America will boost new opportunities for the market's growth rate.

COVID-19 Impact on North America Lymphedema Treatment Market

COVID-19 has positively affected the market. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was formally declared a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented demand for healthcare resources since then.

The treatment of both primary and secondary lymphedema patients has been interrupted or delayed during COVID 19. There was a huge decrease in the number of patients visiting hospitals, which impacted the overall growth of the North America lymphedema treatment market. The COVID-19 impact has negatively affected the price of lymphedema treatment products because of the increased cost of drugs and medication prescribed for lymphedema and fewer doctor visits during the lockdown period.

According to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), mobility restrictions, closed borders, and a decline in overall world trade during COVID-19 disrupted the supply chains of drug markets.

Moreover, many drugs are being produced at different locations, and due to the restrictions on movement, there has been a shortage in the drug supply. Therefore, COVID-19 has a negative impact on the supply chain of the North America lymphedema treatment market.
