Lyme Disease Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034

The Lyme disease market reached a value of US$ 594.1 Million across the top 7 markets (US, EU4, UK, and Japan) in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the top 7 markets to reach US$ 1,181.7 Million by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.94% during 2023-2034.

The Lyme disease market has been comprehensively analyzed in this report titled "Lyme Disease Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness caused by a bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. This condition is transmitted to humans by the bites of infected ticks of the species Ixodes. The disease is usually characterized by an expanding, non-painful red rash, named erythema migrans, which develops at the site of the tick bite after around a week. The common symptoms associated with the ailment include rash, fever, headache, extreme tiredness, swollen lymph nodes, etc. In severe cases, patients may also experience joint pain, impaired ability to move one or both sides of the face, neck stiffness, headaches, memory difficulty, or heart palpitations. The diagnosis of this disorder typically involves a combination of an objective physical examination, a review of the patient's medical history for possible exposure to infected ticks, and laboratory investigations. A blood antibody test using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and western blot is primarily performed to diagnose Lyme disease. The healthcare provider may also recommend polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to detect the presence of bacterial genetic material in the body.

The rising cases of tick-borne diseases owing to the increasing tick exposure through outside activities, such as gardening, hunting, hiking, etc., are primarily driving the Lyme disease market. Additionally, the widespread adoption of antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation associated with the ailment is further propelling the market growth. Moreover, the emerging popularity of advanced diagnostic tests, including T-Detect Lyme, which identifies an immune response by activated T-cells against bacteria to provide early disease diagnosis, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the rising usage of non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acupuncture, to help improve functional disability and cope with the psychological effects of the condition is also augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the escalating demand for mesenchymal stem cell therapy owing to its potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce the severity of underlying symptoms and promote tissue repair, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the increasing utilization of immunomodulatory therapies, including low-dose naltrexone and immune-modulating peptides, to regulate the immune system and enhance its ability to fight the infection is expected to drive the Lyme disease market during the forecast period.

This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the Lyme disease market in any manner.

• Recent Developments

In December 2023, Pfizer Inc. and Valneva SE declared the completion of recruitment for the Phase 3 clinical trial Vaccine Against Lyme for Outdoor Recreationists (VALOR) (NCT05477524) for Lyme disease vaccine candidate VLA15. The trial expands upon previous positive Phase 1 and 2 trial outcomes, and it includes both pediatric and adult participants. The objective is to determine the efficacy, lot consistency, safety, and immunogenicity of VLA15.

In September 2023, Penn Medicine developed an mRNA vaccine against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. A pre-clinical study revealed that the experimental vaccine shows potential in reducing the incidence of Lyme disease.

In April 2023, Moderna announced new vaccine candidates, mRNA-1982 and mRNA-1975, which represented the company's first application of its mRNA technology to bacterial pathogens, including Lyme disease. mRNA-1982 is intended to elicit antibodies specific for Borrelia burgdorferi, whereas mRNA-1975 is designed to stimulate antibodies specific for the four primary Borrelia species that cause the disease.

Key Highlights:
Lyme disease is the most widespread tick-borne infection in the Northern Hemisphere, accounting for 70% of all reported tick-borne disorders.

The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control currently predict that up to 476,000 people in the United States contract Lyme disease each year through the bite of a deer tick.

Approximately 20% of persons may develop Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), which is the persistence of some Lyme symptoms following antibiotic therapy.

Central Europe had the highest infection rate, with 21% of the population affected; eastern Asia was second at 16%, western Europe followed that at 13.5%.

People living in rural regions were at a larger risk than those living in urban areas, with 12.6% of positive tests coming from rural populations and 8.1% from urbanites.

Drugs:
Ceftin tablets are used to treat adult and pediatric patients (aged 13 and older) affected by early Lyme disease caused by susceptible Borrelia burgdorferi strains. It works by binding to certain proteins within the bacterial cell wall, preventing the third and final step of bacterial cell wall development. Cell lysis is then induced by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes known as autolysins.

VLA15 is an investigational Lyme disease vaccine candidate developed by Pfizer and Valneva. This experimental multivalent protein subunit vaccine utilizes a well-established mechanism of action for a Lyme disease vaccine by targeting the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.

CT38 is a strong, short-lived peptide agonist that targets CRFR2. It is entirely composed of naturally occurring amino acids. A Phase 1 clinical investigation was conducted on both animals and healthy humans. These investigations have defined CT38's safety profile in people, demonstrating that it only lasts a few hours in the body.
