Due to generic competition, growth in the Multiple Sclerosis Drugs market is only moderate in the time span considered. The market has been affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic because of limited access to healthcare professionals, leading in particular to fewer new patients. As multiple sclerosis treatments are of a long-term nature, revenues are expected to recover only marginally, resulting in a slightly lower forecast level than previously projected.
