According to the Eurordis International Survey in February 2021, rare disease patients seemed to have a worse experience than chronic disease patients due to the pandemic. According to the article titled ' COVID-19 and the endocrine system: exploring the unexplore' published in May 2020, it has been found that the adrenal system is one of the most highly affected organ systems in the body during acute active infection in individuals with COVID-19 infection who require hospitalization.

The factors propelling the market's growth are rising incidences of Addison's disease globally, growing awareness regarding adrenal insufficiency, and rising healthcare expenditure in the countries.

The rising incidences of Addison's disease are the key factor driving the market's growth over the forecast period.

According to the statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data updated in 2021, around 7,860 cases of tuberculosis were reported in the United States in 2021. In addition, about 13 million in the United States are affected by latent tuberculosis infection.
