The neurodegenerative drugs market valued for $36,277.20 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $74,809.38 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 to 2031. Neurodegenerative diseases refer to a group of disorders that primarily affect the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain and spinal cord, leading to their gradual degeneration. These diseases are usually progressive and chronic, and their symptoms worsen over time. Examples of neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS). These conditions have a significant impact on a person's cognitive, motor, & sensory functions, and can ultimately lead to disability and death.
Drugs used to treat neurodegenerative diseases are medications that are designed to slow down the progression of the disease and/or relieve symptoms. The specific drugs used will depend on the type of neurodegenerative disease being treated. For example, drugs used to treat Alzheimer's disease include cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, while drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease include levodopa, dopamine agonists, and MAO-B inhibitors.
The major factor that drives the growth of the global neurodegenerative drugs market is rise in demand for advanced drug types for controlling symptoms associated with neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, a strong pipeline for neurodegenerative disease is a key trend in the market, which is expected to fuel the growth of the market. Significant surge in patient population has led to increase in demand for drugs. However, complications associated with drug development process and side effects of drugs are expected to hamper the market growth.
On the other hand, high growth potential in untapped emerging countries, increase in pipeline products such as BAF312 & Orelabrutinib for treating multiple sclerosis disease, and continuous drug approval of neurodegenerative diseases are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities to the market players. For instance, in January 2020, Novartis AG announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved Mayzent (siponimod) for the treatment of adult patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) with active disease evidenced by relapses or imaging features of inflammatory activity.
