Further key findings from the study suggest:
  • Narcolepsy with cataplexy segment is estimated to have over 55% market share in 2014 owing to diagnosis of cataplexy as the confirming symptom in the patients. It is estimated that nearly 75% of patients are expected to have symptoms of cataplexy over a period of time.
  • Narcolepsy without cataplexy is estimated to be the fastest growing segment of market with a CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period.
