Anti-Parkinson drugs are medications primarily utilized for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It's important to note that these drugs are not psychiatric medications and are not intended for the treatment of mental health issues. However, in some cases, a doctor or psychiatrist may recommend the use of these medications in addition to antipsychotics to mitigate certain negative effects associated with the latter.
The main categories of anti-Parkinson drugs include levodopa/carbidopa, dopamine receptor agonists, monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitors, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors, anticholinergics, and other drugs. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors represent a specific class of drugs used in conjunction with carbidopa-levodopa therapy to manage Parkinson's disease symptoms effectively. These medications can be administered through various routes, including oral, injection, and transdermal methods, and they are typically dispensed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies.

This anti-Parkinson drugs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The anti-parkinson drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.37 billion in 2024 to $11.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population, increasing disease prevalence, healthcare infrastructure, advancements in research.
The anti-parkinson drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing awareness, biotechnological advancements, emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include investment in r&d, personalized medicine, disease-modifying therapies, drug repurposing, telemedicine and remote monitoring, biosimilars, research collaborations.
The anticipated growth in the demand for anti-Parkinson drugs is driven by the increasing geriatric population and the rising number of cases of Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is commonly diagnosed in individuals over the age of 60, making it a particular concern for the elderly population. For example, data from the World Health Organization indicates that globally, the proportion of individuals aged 60 or older is expected to reach 1 in 6 by 2030, and this figure is projected to double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion individuals in this age group. Similarly, data from the UK Parliament's House of Commons Library reveals that the elderly population in the UK is expected to grow significantly, accounting for 24% of the total population (17.4 million people) by 2043. This demographic shift towards an older population is a key driver of the increasing demand for anti-Parkinson drugs, given the higher prevalence of PD in the elderly.
The expected growth in the anti-Parkinson drugs market is being propelled by the increasing incidence of mental health disorders. Mental health disorders represent a clinically significant impairment in an individual's cognitive, emotional regulation, or behavior, often associated with distress and functional impairment in various areas of life. The rise in mental health disorders has a direct impact on the anti-Parkinson drugs market, as these drugs play a crucial role in mitigating and treating these disorders. For example, data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre in the UK reveals a notable increase in the proportion of 17- to 19-year-olds with suspected mental disorders, rising from 17.4% in 2021 to 25.7% in 2022. This data illustrates the growing prevalence of mental health disorders, which, in turn, drives the demand for anti-Parkinson drugs. The connection between these two factors underscores the importance of anti-Parkinson drugs in addressing the mental health needs of individuals affected by Parkinson's disease and related conditions.
The anticipated growth of the anti-Parkinson's drug market may face limitations due to the high cost associated with the treatment of Parkinson's disease. According to statistics from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the economic burden of Parkinson's disease is on the rise and affects patients, their families, and the federal government. In the United States, the overall cost of Parkinson's disease amounts to $51.9 billion annually, with $25.4 billion allocated to direct medical costs, including expenses related to hospitalization and medication. This significant financial burden on individuals, families, and healthcare systems underscores the high cost of managing Parkinson's disease. Consequently, the expense of treating the condition can potentially restrict access to anti-Parkinson drugs and influence the market's growth dynamics. Finding cost-effective solutions and approaches to Parkinson's disease treatment will be a key consideration for stakeholders in the anti-Parkinson's drug market.
Major companies in the anti-Parkinson drugs market are increasingly focused on developing advanced therapeutic solutions to address challenges such as motor fluctuations and dyskinesia, which complicate Parkinson's disease treatment and impact patient well-being. For example, in January 2024, AbbVie Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, launched PRODUODOPA, the first subcutaneous 24-hour infusion therapy for advanced Parkinson's disease. PRODUODOPA (foslevodopa/foscarbidopa) specifically targets severe motor fluctuations and dyskinesia in patients for whom other treatments have failed. The therapy continuously delivers levodopa, potentially increasing "on" time and improving symptom control.
A significant trend in the anti-Parkinson drugs market is the increased investment from both government and corporate sources in research and development for drugs related to Parkinson's disease. For example, in August 2022, the Parkinson's Foundation, a prominent national organization in the United States, announced a substantial investment of $5.7 million into 33 research projects. This funding is aimed at accelerating cutting-edge research in the field of Parkinson's disease. By providing research grants, the foundation supports scientists in conducting innovative studies on various aspects of Parkinson's disease. The ultimate goal is to develop new therapies, treatments, and, ideally, a cure for the approximately 10 million individuals worldwide who are affected by this debilitating neurological condition. As a result, the increased investments in Parkinson's drug development are expected to be a driving force in the anti-Parkinson drugs market.
In October 2023, AbbVie Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, acquired Mitokinin for $110 million. This acquisition is part of AbbVie's strategy to strengthen its neuroscience pipeline and expand treatment options for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Mitokinin, a US-based biotechnology company, specializes in developing treatments for Parkinson's disease.
