Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics and therapeutics Market, by Product (Therapeutics (Cholinesterase Inhibitors, NMDA Receptor Antagonists, Others) and Diagnostics (Brain Imaging, CSF Test for Alzheimer’s Disease)), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and progressively worsens. It is a progressive form of dementia, a continuous decline in thinking, behavioral, and social skills that disrupts a person's ability to function independently. Doctors perform a series of tests to rule out other possible causes of impairment. It can be diagnosed in several different ways. Imaging techniques, such as CT and MRI, are primarily used to rule out other conditions that may cause symptoms similar to Alzheimer's but require different treatment. There's no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but there are treatments that may change disease progression, and drug and non-drug options that may help treat symptoms. Aducanumab is the only disease-modifying medication currently approved to treat Alzheimer's. Medications may temporarily improve or slow progression of symptoms. These treatments can sometimes help people with Alzheimer's disease maximize function and maintain independence for a time. In advanced stages of the disease, complications from severe loss of brain function — such as dehydration, malnutrition or infection — result in death.
Market Dynamics
Increasing use of biomarkers in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and drug development and increasing focus on the development of novel diagnostics & therapeutics due to increase in disease burden is expected to boost the growth of the global Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics and therapeutics market. For instance, in June 2021, the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) Diagnostics Accelerator launched four new research investments for the development of digital biomarkers for Alzheimer's diagnosis. Moreover, in August 2022, the Alzheimer's Association announced the launch of Alzheimer's Network for Treatment and Diagnostics (ALZ-NET), a platform to collect long-term clinical and safety data from patients treated with U.S FDA-approved Alzheimer's disease therapies in real world clinical settings. It is the first network developed specifically for FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments, collecting real-world evidence on drug effectiveness and side effects over a long period of time.
