The cluster headache market size valued for $356.00 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $522.98 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.9% from 2022 to 2031.
Cluster headache is the most common type of the primary headache known as trigeminal autonomic cephalgia (TACs). Cluster headache is characterized by attacks of very severe, unilateral headache lasting 15-180 minutes, up to several times per day. It is distinguished by the severe nature of the pain, length of attacks, and presence of cranial autonomic symptoms such as lacrimation and conjunctival injection. Attacks often cluster and can occur in series for weeks or months at a time, followed by a period of complete remission. This significant pain is accompanied by increased suicidality during cluster periods, particularly during the time of the headache.
The driving factors for cluster headache market are increase in number of patients suffering from cluster headache, and rise in investments for development of effective medications for cluster headache. Moreover, surge in incidences of neurological disorders such as cluster headache results in demand of effective medications for treating headache disorders, thus increasing incidences of cluster headache is expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, according to article published in SAGE Journal - Cephalalgia 2022, stated that, prevalence of cluster headache in Norway was found to be 48.6 per 100,000/year, thereby driving the growth of the market. In addition, increase in number of pipeline medications for treating cluster headache that is anticipated to receive regulatory approval in the upcoming years is projected to propel market expansion.
Further, various grants and fellowships are provided by government and private institutions for research and development activities involving headache disorders such as cluster headache, which further propels the market expansion. For instance, according to report of International Headache Society (IHS) 2022, stated that, IHS offers total 20-30 fellowships such as 'IHS Junior Research Grant' to support innovative and impactful research from young investigators, promote the career of young investigators in the field of headache and increase the knowledge base of headache disorders, thus such available fellowships for R&D in headache disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the market.
However, lengthy drug approval process and strict regulatory pathways are the factors that restrain the growth of the market. In addition, absence of favorable reimbursement policies is also expected to constrain the growth of the market.
Further, rise in demand for novel therapies such as biologics, increase in awareness about treatment options and increase in R&D to develop safe and efficacious drugs for cluster headache treatment offer lucrative opportunities to key players of the cluster headache market.
