EPISTAXIS MARKET ANALYSIS

Epistaxis MarketSize and Trends

Epistaxis Market– Insights

Epistaxis, also known as nosebleed, occurs due to rupture of  small blood vessel in the lining of nose, as the interior of the nose is highly delicate and sensitive. Also, the interior of nose cannot tolerate certain factors that make the cells fragile and prone to burst resulting in bleeding. Nosebleeds are common during winter season, as upper respiratory infections mostly occur during this season.

In most cases, epistaxis responds effectively to nasal cauterization or nasal packaging or both the treatments. People experiencing recurrent bouts of nosebleeds are usually recommended to undergo surgical options or embolization procedures that are available in hospitals and ENT clinics. The most common treatment adopted for epistaxis patients is either chemical or electrical cautery. This method is easy to perform, cheap, and does not involve any serious risk. Cauterization refers to a procedure, in which a small tissue at the bleeding site is removed or burnt with the help of chemicals such as silver nitrate or mild electric shocks.

Moreover, various topical applications such as tranexamic acid are available in the market that helps to curtail nosebleeds. According to a research article published in International Journal of Otolaryngology in 2015, epistaxis is estimated to affect around 10-12% of the global population, of which around 80% patients require medical attention, as majority of epistaxis cases are not self-limiting and cannot be resolved due to intervention. An increasing number of cases of nosebleeds is expected to drive growth of the global epistaxis market.

The global epistaxis market size is estimated to be valued at US$ 145.9  million in 2019 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period (2019–2027).
