Kernicterus Treatment Market Analysis and Size

Around the world, 60 to 80 percent of neonates have jaundice. Only 0.4 to 2.7 of every 100,000 kids in developed nations get kernicterus or acute bilirubin encephalopathy. When bilirubin levels reach this level, they spread to the brain and harm the tissues of the central nervous system. Currently, "kernicterus" refers to serious neurological harm from jaundice. But all harm caused by extreme jaundice is likewise regarded as a form or stage of kernicterus.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the kernicterus treatment market, which is USD 2.86 billion in 2022, is expected to reach USD 3.48 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.50% from 2023 to 2030. In addition to the insights on market scenarios such as market value, growth rate, segmentation, geographical coverage, and major players, the market reports curated by the Data Bridge Market Research also include depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Kernicterus Treatment Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

Kernicterus is a kind of brain damage that is carried by high bilirubin levels in a newborn's blood. The condition is frequently connected to newborns with severe, untreated jaundice. Hearing loss and athetoid cerebral palsy may result. In addition to cerebral deficits, kernicterus may result in visual and dental problems. Early detection and treatment of jaundice can prevent kernicterus.

Kernicterus Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Demand for managing hyperbilirubinemia risks in neonates underpins lucrative avenues that will propel the market growth

The health risks of untreated or improperly managed neonatal jaundice in newborns are considerable. As a result, bilirubin meters are in high demand in hospitals and infant care. Notably, improvements in detecting newborn hyperbilirubinemia have driven market participants' development prospects. Guidelines for managing newborns at risk are continually changing in developed countries, such as the U.K., which has accelerated growth potential. To address the demand for non-invasive bilirubin metres for newborns and babies, it is noteworthy that non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubin are heavily advocated. Much of the bilirubin meters market is driven by the growing usage of technologically advanced devices in emerging nations.

• Usage of exchange transfusion therapy in the cure of kernicterus treatment will propel the market growth

The immediate and effective method of clearing the blood of the already developed bilirubin. The procedure calls for removing the baby's blood, primarily the plasma, and replacing it with citrate phosphate dextrose (CPD) stored blood that is bilirubin-free. This condition is suggested when acute bilirubin encephalopathy symptoms are present and serum bilirubin levels remain high despite efforts to lower them. An exchange transfusion is typically used to treat serum bilirubin levels greater than 20–25 mg/dL. Use an erythrocyte concentrate that matches ABO type and is Rh-negative.

Opportunities

• Increased prevalence of kernicterus

The primary variables affecting the market growth rate are the increased prevalence of kernicterus. A total of 494 babies (320 boys; mean [SD] birth weight, 3505 [527] g) out of the 992 378 live babies (958 051 term births and 34 327 near-term births) had extreme hyperbilirubinemia (50 per 100,000 babies), 6.8 babies out of 100,000 had hazardous hyperbilirubinemia and 1.3 babies out of 100,000 had kernicterus. The prevalence of hypothyroidism and urinary tract infections is another factor that would moderate the market's development rate.

Moreover, during the forecast period of 2023-2030, the market for kernicterus treatments will benefit from the increase in R&D efforts and the emergence of new markets.

Restraints/Challenges

• Side effects of kernicterus treatment will hamper the market growth

An uncommon kind of brain damage can occur in neonates with jaundice. Infants with total serum bilirubin levels of more than 30 mg/dL are at an average risk of developing chronic kernicterus at a rate of roughly one in seven. Infants with bilirubin levels less than 25 mg/dL can also develop kernicterus, though it is unknown how often this condition is in the general population. These are the factors which hamper the market growth.
