Muscle Relaxant Drugs Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

Levels of inactivity in economically developed countries are as high as 70%.
  • Rising Number of Patients with Lower Back Pain - according to the World Health Organization, 570 million people are suffering from low back pain worldwide, contributing to 7.4% of years lived with disability (YLDs) across the globe.
