Migraine Global Market Report 2025

Description

A migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent and intense headaches, often accompanied by additional symptoms like nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia), and sensitivity to sound (phonophobia). These headaches are typically one-sided, pulsating, and can persist for several hours to a few days. The management of migraines involves a combination of strategies aimed at providing relief from immediate symptoms during an attack and preventing future migraine episodes.

Migraines come in two primary types are episodic and chronic. Chronic migraine is defined as experiencing headaches on at least 15 days per month for a minimum of three months, with at least 8 days each month featuring migraine-like symptoms. Treatment options include both preventive and abortive measures, involving various drug classes such as triptans, ergots, and others.

The migraine market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.93 billion in 2024 to $1.97 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of migraines, growing awareness about migraine treatment, government initiatives, increasing prevalence of alcohol consumption, shifts in lifestyle.

The migraine market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of combination therapies, growing number of screening programs for migraines, increasing prevalence of smoking habits, awareness of the importance of lifestyle management for migraine. Major trends in the forecast period include innovative treatments for migraines, development of targeted therapies for migraines, advancements in diagnosis and treatment of migraines, digital health technologies for migraine management.

The growing prevalence of migraines is poised to fuel the expansion of the migraine market in the foreseeable future. Migraines are severe headaches typically affecting one side of the head, characterized by intense throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation. Migraine treatments offer several advantages, including pain relief, improved functionality, reduced frequency and severity of attacks, enhanced productivity, and a better quality of life for individuals grappling with migraines. For instance, in January 2023, as reported by Nature Reviews Neurology, a UK-based journal website, the current global estimate indicates a migraine prevalence of 14-15%, contributing to 4.9% of the total global years lived with disability (YLDs). Hence, the increasing prevalence of migraines is a key driver of the migraine market's growth.

The increasing prevalence of stress is the driving force behind the growth of the migraine market. Stress represents the physiological and psychological response to challenging or demanding situations that individuals perceive as threatening, overwhelming, or beyond their ability to cope with effectively. Stress can act as a trigger for migraines, as it initiates the body's fight or flight response, leading to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can induce rapid constriction and dilation of blood vessels, potentially contributing to changes in blood flow and vascular function associated with migraine attacks. For example, data from the American Psychiatric Association, a US-based professional organization of psychiatrists, indicated that over one in four (26%) Americans anticipated experiencing increased stress at the beginning of 2023, up from one in five (20%) the previous year. Consequently, the rising incidence of stress is fueling the expansion of the migraine market.

The prominent companies in the migraine market are dedicated to pioneering technological solutions like migraine lens technology to gain a competitive advantage. Migraine lens technology entails the development of specialized lenses tailored to alleviate discomfort in individuals with migraines and sensitivity to light. For example, in July 2023, Zenni Optical Inc., a US-based eyewear retailer, unveiled its groundbreaking innovation, the FL-41 migraine lenses. These lenses are engineered to provide relief to individuals suffering from light sensitivity due to migraines, post-concussion recovery, and other related conditions. Moreover, these lenses filter out a specific range of light that is known to trigger eye pain, thereby reducing the risk of migraines and even offering relief during active migraine episodes.

In October 2022, Pfizer Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation, completed the acquisition of Biohaven Pharmaceuticals Inc. for an estimated $11.6 billion. This strategic acquisition is part of Pfizer's efforts to enhance its portfolio and further its commitment to providing innovative treatment options for individuals suffering from migraines. Biohaven Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a US-based pharmaceutical company renowned for its development of migraine medications.
