Report Code : CVMI2501138 | Published Date : March 3, 2025

The Global Long COVID Syndrome Market represents one of the most urgent and rapidly evolving therapeutic landscapes in modern medicine. Currently valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2023, this market is projected to experience explosive growth at a CAGR of 34.7%, reaching USD 32.8 billion by 2031. This comprehensive analysis examines the complex interplay of clinical understanding, therapeutic development, and healthcare system responses to this multifaceted post-viral condition affecting an estimated 65 million people worldwide.

The market is being shaped by three critical dynamics: the accelerating pace of pathophysiological research identifying distinct Long COVID subtypes, the emergence of diagnostic biomarkers, and the rapid clinical evaluation of both repurposed and novel therapeutics. This report provides a detailed assessment of therapeutic approaches across neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immunological manifestations, analyzing pipeline developments, clinical trial outcomes, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Special attention is given to the growing recognition of Long COVID as a chronic disease requiring multidisciplinary care models and the corresponding economic burden on healthcare systems globally.
