Market Drivers

However, the presence of a strong pipeline that increases the focus of pharmaceuticals & biotechnology companies on conducting research programs for the effective treatment of syndrome also boosts up the market growth. Moreover, rising cases of genetic mutation syndromes and increases in unhealthy lifestyles (such as smoking cigarettes, alcohol drinking, and others) by women during pregnancy also boost up the market growth. But, lack of awareness of the syndrome and the high cost of treatment in developing countries may hamper the Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) Therapeutics market.
