Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Market Current Trends, Size,
Share, Industry Analysis, Competitive Intelligence, Growth, Opportunities
and Forecasts To 2024
Summary
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare and severe condition characterized by vascular
proliferation and remodeling of the small pulmonary arteries. This results in progressively
increasing pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure.
The disease typically results in right-sided heart failure and premature death. PAH can be
idiopathic, heritable, or associated with different conditions such as connective tissue disease
(CTD), congenital heart disease (CHD), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and
exposure to toxins or drugs. PAH occurs twice as frequently in women as in men.
GlobalData epidemiologists forecast an increase in the diagnosed incident cases of PAH in the
7MM, from 1,769 diagnosed incident cases in 2014 to 1,838 diagnosed incident cases in 2024,
with an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 0.39% during the forecast period. In 2024, the US will
have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of PAH in the 7MM, with 677 diagnosed
incident cases, whereas the UK will have the lowest number of diagnosed incident cases of PAH,
with 74 diagnosed incident cases. Similarly, the diagnosed prevalent cases of PAH in the 7MM
are expected to increase from 9,926 diagnosed prevalent cases in 2014 to 10,285 diagnosed
prevalent cases in 2024, with an AGR of 0.36% during the forecast period. In 2024, the US will
have the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of PAH in the 7MM, with 4,325 diagnosed
prevalent cases, whereas the UK will have the lowest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of
PAH, with 443 diagnosed prevalent cases.
