Autoimmune Disease Diagnostics Market Trends
The substantial surge in the number of patients affected by autoimmune diseases is among the major factors propelling market growth in the foreseeable future. Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease are some of the most common conditions that require autoimmune diagnostics and treatment.
- Type 1 diabetes is a chronic ailment generally caused when the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in high blood sugar levels, which, if left untreated, may lead to multiple organ failures, including the heart, kidneys, nerves, and more.
- For instance, according to reports published by the International Diabetes Federation in 2021, over 1.2 million children and adolescents under the age of 19 are affected by Type 1 diabetes, and the numbers are steadily increasing. Moreover, according to the American Diabetes Association, in 2019, over 1.9 million Americans were suffering from Type 1 diabetes. The increasing prevalence of such diseases leads to significant health consequences and comorbidities, resulting in substantial mortality.
- As a result, with the surging patient population, the market is anticipated to see a significant rise in the adoption of autoimmune disease diagnostics soon.
