Cluster headache is a neurological condition characterized by severe headaches occurring in clusters with each headache lasting 15-180 minutes. It often affects one side of the head and causes excruciating pain around the eye and temple. The exact cause remains unknown but some potential triggers include alcohol consumption, insomnia, allergies, and changes in sleeping patterns among others. It is estimated to affect around 0.1% of the general population worldwide or roughly 3 million people. Men are affected more than women with a male to female ratio of 3:1. It usually develops between the ages of 20-50. While it is not life-threatening, the intense pain severely affects quality of life. Treatment options include acute therapies like oxygen and triptans for symptom relief and preventive therapies like verapamil to reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks. Growing awareness about condition management and rising healthcare expenditure are expected to drive the global cluster headache market growth in the near future.
Market Dynamics:
Global cluster headache market growth is driven by increasing diagnosis rate and growing awareness about the condition and its management. According to a Global Epidemiology Study in 2020, cluster headache is often underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness in both patients and physicians. However, growing medical education initiatives by non-profit organizations help to improve diagnosis rate. This is expected to boost demand for acute and preventive treatment options. Furthermore, rising healthcare spending in developing countries can also drive the market growth. However, high treatment cost, especially in developing economies, can hamper the market growth. Lack of approved generic drugs increases treatment cost. Ongoing R&D for effective and affordable treatment options can provide new opportunities for market participants over the forecast period.
