EpiCast Report: Cystic Fibrosis – Epidemiology Forecast to 2025

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices, causing severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. In CF patients, a defective gene results in sticky and thick secretions that plug up tubes, ducts, and passageways. The signs and symptoms of CF vary depending on the severity of the disease. Most of the signs and symptoms of CF affect the respiratory system and digestive system.

GlobalData epidemiologists provided two different forecasts for the diagnosed incident and diagnosed prevalent cases of CF in the 7MM: a forecast based on registry data and a forecast adjusted for the underestimation of registry-based data. According to the forecast based on registry data, the diagnosed incident cases of CF in the 7MM will decrease from 1,925 cases in 2015 to 1,813 cases in 2025, at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of negative 0.58%. The US will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of CF among the 7MM throughout the forecast period, while Germany will have the lowest.

According to the forecast adjusted for underestimation of registry data, the diagnosed incident cases of CF in the 7MM will decrease from 2,217 cases in 2015 to 2,074 cases in 2025, at an AGR of negative 0.64%. The US will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of CF among the 7MM throughout the forecast period, while Germany will have the lowest.

GlobalData epidemiologists utilized peer-reviewed, country-specific studies to forecast diagnosed incident cases, diagnosed prevalent cases, and mortality due to CF in the 7MM from 2015–2025. Diagnosed prevalent cases were segmented by sex, age, specific mutation type, and MRSA infection to provide more detailed information about the patient population. GlobalData epidemiologists ensured that the forecast methodology was consistent across all the 7MM to allow for a meaningful comparison of CF across these markets.

Scope

The Cystic Fibrosis (CF) EpiCast Report and EpiCast Model provide an overview of the risk factors and global trends of CF in the seven major markets (7MM) (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Canada). It includes a 10-year epidemiology forecast of diagnosed incident cases of CF, diagnosed prevalent cases of CF, and CF mortality segmented by sex in these seven markets. Diagnosed prevalent cases of CF are further segmented by age (starting from zero years of age and up to 85 years and older), specific mutation type, and chronic Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection.

The CF epidemiology report and model were written and developed by Masters- and PhD-level epidemiologists.

The EpiCast Report is in-depth, high quality, transparent and market-driven, providing expert analysis of disease trends in the 7MM.

The EpiCast Model is easy to navigate, interactive with dashboards,f and epidemiology-based with transparent and consistent methodologies. Moreover, the model supports data presented in the report and showcases disease trends over a 10-year forecast period using reputable sources.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
