Global Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment market is projected to witness a CAGR of 7.40% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 4.98 billion in 2023 to USD 8.82 billion in 2031. The market is anticipated to thrive at a renowned pace during the forecast period owing to several driving forces like regulatory approvals, and growing traction from market players in Parkinson's disease.
The market of Parkinson's disease is constantly changing advances in the field of drug development, rising healthcare costs, and a growing understanding of the disease itself all shape the market. Parkinson's is a progressive degenerative neurological disorder that mostly affects movement, characterized by symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Recent innovation in therapeutic options has truly fueled the market. New drugs targeting specific pathways in the disease process have emerged, bringing out effective treatment regimens. In addition, augmenting healthcare spending, especially in developing countries, opens better access to these treatments. Also, governments are investing in research initiatives to discover novel therapies, and this will spur further growth in the market. The advanced diagnostic tools allow for diseases to be detected in the early stages, meaning that treatment might start early and, thus, lead to better outcomes for patients. There remain some barriers within the market, including the costliness of treatment and ignorance about the disease, especially in low and middle-income countries. Lack of provision of disease-modifying therapies and various adverse effects related to the available treatments can be a significant constraint in patient compliance and, by extension, overall market growth. Regular innovations and product launches maintain the market activeness and ensure the growth of the market, for instance, in May 2024, BIAL Holding, S.A. announced the launch of KYNMOBI (apomorphine hydrochloride), the first sublingual film approved in Germany for the treatment of OFF episodes in adult Parkinson's disease patients not sufficiently controlled by oral medication. The new formulation provides an effective on-demand therapy for OFF periods and motor fluctuations.
Rising Prevalence of Parkinson's Diseases
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder globally, mostly occurring in the elderly population. The prevalence of Parkinson's is on the rise which led to heightened demand for treatment products. The dramatic rise in Parkinson's prevalence is straining healthcare systems and increasing the demand for medications, therapies, and surgical treatments. The combined direct and indirect costs of Parkinson's in the U.S. are estimated at nearly USD 52 billion per year. According to an article published in Frontiers in Neurology in May 2024, the global prevalence of Parkinson's disease was 6.1 million in 2016, and 8.5 million in 2019, and the prevalence is projected to go over 17 million in 2040. As the Parkinson's pandemic continues to grow, the need for expanded access to treatments, improved therapies, and ultimately a cure will only intensify in the coming years. While there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, another factor contributing to the high revenue generation for this market is the continuous need for medication for the patients.
Growing Investment in PD to Increase Market Growth
Neurodegenerative disease has been an active field of research including Parkinson's disease. The growing traction from market players and research promotors in this field is expected to contribute for the expansion of the Parkinson's disease treatment market. The research efforts from various organizations like The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, The Parkinson's Foundation, and others are significantly impacting the market scenario. For instance, in November 2023, PhotoPharmics, a leader in Parkinson's disease research and treatment, announced the successful first close of a USD 16 million investment round. The investment round marks a significant milestone in PhotoPharmics' mission to revolutionize Parkinson's disease treatment. The primary purpose of this investment round is to fund a pivotal clinical trial aimed at obtaining FDA market authorization for Celeste, PhotoPharmics' FDA breakthrough therapeutic device for Parkinson's disease. In another such example, Parkinson's UK invested USD 1.38 million in Mission Therapeutics Ltd's clinical trial through their Virtual Biotech program to help test a potential treatment called MTX325 in people with Parkinson's.
Carbidopa-Levodopa Segment to Dominate the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Market
