Botulinum toxin (also termed as miracle poison) is a type of poisonous biological substance, neurotoxic protein, produced by bacterium Clostridium botulinum species. This species is a gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic rod commonly found in soil, plants & in water. Botulinum toxin acts by interfering with neural transmission and blocks the release of acetylcholine which may cause muscle paralysis. This drug is injected into a patient using a 30-gauge 1-inch needle to the affected muscles.

For example, nowadays, botulinum toxins play a very important role in the management of medical conditions such as focal dystonias, hyperhidrosis, hypersalivation, headaches, and hemifacial spasm. Additionally, the list of possible use of this protein as therapeutic in various disease condition is rapidly expanding which will provide significant growth opportunities for this market to grow. However, high side effects and lack of reimbursement coverage for this treatment hampers the market growth to some extent.

Type A segment is considered to generate a major chunk of the global industry, more than 96% of the revenue share is captured by this segment throughout the forecast period. Growing demand coupled with increasing government approvals of Type A botulinum toxins drive the segment growth. Type A segment is further categorized as Dysport, Xeomin, Botox, and other. Whereas, Myobloc is an example of type B preparation. In terms of end users, the market is categorized as Therapeutic, and Cosmetic applications.

Growing demand for this treatment for aesthetic appearance coupled with increasing disposable income drives the regional growth. Whereas, Europe is projected to capture more than 26% share of the overall industry by 2025. Availability of effective botulinum treatments augments the growth in this region.
