Neurodegenerative Disease Market Size

Neurodegenerative Disease Market Analysis

The Neurodegenerative Disease Market size is estimated at USD 55.12 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 77.82 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.14% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

COVID-19's impact on the market was significant as it affected workflows of clinical trials, research, development activities, and pipeline products for neurodegenerative diseases, leading to relatively slow growth despite a robust late-stage product pipeline. The delay in product approvals due to the pandemic significantly impacted the market's development. For instance, in January 2021, Biogen and Eisai Co. Ltd reported the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended the review period by three months for the Biologics License Application for aducanumab, an investigational treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Biogen submitted the aducanumab biologics license application to the FDA in July 2020. The application was accepted in August 2020 and granted priority review. Thus, the market witnessed a short-term growth decline during the pandemic due to the above factors. However, in the later phase, research and development resumed, which positively impacted the market studied.

The major market growth factors include the rising prevalence of neurological disorders, increasing awareness among the global population, and a strong product pipeline for neurodegenerative disease treatment. With the increasing global population and an average lifespan, the prevalence of neurological disorders is on the rise. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences data updated in June 2022 stated an estimated 6.2 million people might have Alzheimer's disease in the United States, and nearly a million Americans are living with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, as per the Lancet Journal article published in October 2020, the total number of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributable to neurological disorders was 21 million in the European Union and 41.1 million in the WHO- European region. Such a burden of neurological disorders is expected to increase the demand for treatments and effective treatment methods, thereby contributing to the growth of the neurodegenerative disease market.

Furthermore, according to Clinicaltrails.gov, in April 2022, a study conducted by Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing, China, was in phase-I and aimed to investigate the radiation dosimetry, plasma pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, safety, and diagnostic performance of (S)-[18F]FBFP in healthy volunteers and patients with central nervous system diseases. Such studies show a trend in developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, thereby driving the market's growth.

Thus, the factors above are expected to aid in the growth of the market studied over the forecast period. However, stringent regulatory guidelines and patent expiry of neurodegenerative disease treatment products are the major factors that are anticipated to hinder the market's growth.
