Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) Market to Reach USD 370 Million by 2034
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare, often fatal demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by reactivation of the John Cunningham virus (JCV), typically in immunocompromised individuals. PML occurs most frequently in patients with HIV/AIDS, hematologic malignancies, organ transplant recipients, and those receiving immunosuppressive biologics (e.g., natalizumab, rituximab).Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/71921
The disease is characterized by rapid neurological decline, motor weakness, vision impairment, and cognitive dysfunction, with limited therapeutic options. Currently, management focuses on restoring immune function, such as antiretroviral therapy in HIV patients or discontinuation of immunosuppressive drugs.
The global PML market is evolving due to increasing awareness, improved diagnostic technologies, and research into antiviral and immune-based therapies.
Market Overview
• Market Size (2024): USD 180 million
• Forecast (2034): USD 370 million
• CAGR (2025-2034): 7.4%
Growth is driven by rising immunocompromised populations, advanced diagnostics, and pipeline therapies exploring immune modulation and antiviral strategies.
Key Highlights:
• PML incidence strongly linked to natalizumab use in multiple sclerosis patients.
• MRI and JCV DNA PCR testing are central to early detection.
• No approved curative therapies - off-label immune checkpoint inhibitors and antivirals under investigation.
• Rising awareness among neurologists and oncologists improving diagnosis.
Segmentation Analysis

• Experimental Therapies
o Antivirals (Cidofovir, Mefloquine - limited efficacy)
o Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab - off-label)
o Adoptive T-cell Therapy (research stage)
o Monoclonal Antibodies targeting JCV
• Diagnostics
o MRI & CT Imaging
o JCV DNA PCR in CSF
