Autism, otherwise known as autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder which affects cognitive function, social skills, and overall emotional & physical health of the afflicted individual. The disorder may occur at varying levels of severity and early identification is often a crucial step in treatment.
Market Research Future (MRFR) has recently published a report on the global autism disorder and treatment marketwhich reveals a steady CAGR of 4.37% during the forecast period 2017 to 2023. Gradual prevalence of autism, growing awareness and the development of various forms of treatment for the disorder are some essential factors driving growth.
Advancing technology coupled with research and development of treatment options have provided scope for the market to grow. With so many unanswered questions about autism, R&D is predicted to be the key motivator of growth for the global market. Other factors include rising awareness programs sponsored by government bodies and the increased availability of generic pharmaceuticals for affordable treatment.
Meanwhile, stringent regulations associated with product approvals are expected to hamper market growth. However, the unrealized potential of this market is likely to create opportunities. Additionally, stricter parameters for product approvals will likely lead the market to focus on genuinely effective treatment options.

Regional Analysis
The Americas have the largest global market share, with North America leading market growth for the region. This is primarily due to the widespread awareness of the disorder which has increased early screening, thus facilitating market growth. Moreover, FDA approvals of atypical antipsychotics have further encouraged growth.
Europe closely follows the Americas lead and is expected to follow a similar growth pattern over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific is the fastest growing global market share due to the increasing demand for treatment options and increased awareness of the disorder. Modern diagnostic tools and a better understanding of autism are expected to motivate significant growth for the region during the forecast period.
Meanwhile, the Middle East & Africa is expected to exhibit steady yet limited growth. This is due to the lack of awareness and social stigma associated with such disorders particularly in developing countries of the African region. Middle Eastern countries such as Qatar and the U.A.E, however, have schools and organizations dedicated to spreading awareness, this motivating steady growth for the region.
