Autism Investor Summit 2020 | Autism Investor Summit | 10 February 2020 | The London West Hollywood, 1020 N San Vicente Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069, USA

Autism affects about 1 in 59 children, an increase from 1 in 68 two years ago, according to the latest data recently released by the Centers for Disease Control, meaning that 2.5% of the U.S. population has autism. These numbers will likely increase as individuals in underserved markets are better identified and receive an accurate diagnosis.

Because of these growth rates, access to funding and demand for services is increasing exponentially resulting in intense investor interest in this sector. Autism services cost U.S. citizens approximately $250 billion annually, with the individual lifetime cost per person ranging from $1.4 million to $3.2 million depending on the intellectual capacity of each individual.

Currently, the autism services / therapeutic market in the U.S. is conservatively estimated to be valued at $5-7 billion dollars and growing. This includes programs that serve individuals with autism as well as drugs targeting behavioral issues in autism. The supply constraint and the growing demand for services has created a very attractive market that is growing rapidly. Revenues of ABA programs are estimated to generate $2B- 7B annually. These estimates are considered conservative and we believe the market is substantially larger, with a TAM (total addressable market) of up to $70 billion.

The market is highly fragmented with fewer than 10% of the industry owned by consolidators. Demand continues to outweigh supply. In the past two years, five large consolidators have emerged and with significant investment dollars driving the market, the industry is becoming more competitive. Despite this growth, many states and many families remain without adequate services to address the needs of thier children and their communities.
