Moreover, the rising integration of healthcare and IT, and the rising availability of different business policies, collaborations, and partnerships amongst the key players inorder to facilitate dementia drug development, among others are some of the factors responsible for driving the global dementia drugs market during the forecasted period.

Dementia Drugs Market Dynamics:

The dementia drugs market is witnessing growth at present owing to the rise in the number of patients suffering from Alzeihmer’s Disease. For instance, according to the data published by the Alzeihmer’s Disease International, in the year 2020, more than 55 million people were suffering from dementia globally. According to the same source, the number can be estimated to double evevry 20 years, thereby reaching to about 78 million patients by the year 2030 and about 139 million patients by the year 2050.

Also, as per the above mentioned source, the fastest growth is taking place in China, India, and their South-Asian and Western Pacific neighbours.

Also, an increasing prevalence of geriatric population will also increase the demand for dementia drugs, as geriatric population is prone to developing dementia. For instance, as per the Alzeihmer Europe organization 2021, more than one fifth of the EU population was aged 65 or over in 2020, which represents an increase of 3% compared to 2010.

Additionally, there is still ongoing research wherein scientists are trying harder for developing more effective dementia related drugs. Dementia drugs are one of the effective strategy in temporarily managing memory loss, thinking as well as reasoning probblems and day-to day functions.

Hence, all the aforementioned factors are anticipated to boost the global dementia drugs market during the forecasted period.

However, the strict government regulations related to drugs approval and the high cost associated with research and development activities are some of the factors likely to impede the dementia drugs market growth.

The outbreak caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is found to have a profound impact on the dementia market. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and dementia share some common risk factors comprising of co-morbidities, and patients living with dmenetia were found to be particularly vulnerable to the infection. Additionally, the lockdown measures have also led to various adverse disruptions to the diagnosis and delivery of care for patients suffering from dementia, and result in further strains on physical and mental well-being of the patients. Apart from this, COVID-19 had also placed an unprecedented pressure on both the health as well as the social care systes across the world, in turn causing reduction in services and support for people suffering from dementia and their family carers.

Furthermore, the approval of the various product for dementia has also propelled the dementia drugs market during the pandemic. For instance, on June 07, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted the accelerated drug approval for Alzeihmer’s drug (Aduhelm /aducanumab) for the treatment of Alzeihmer’s disease.

Dementia Drugs Market Segment Analysis:

Dementia drugs Market By Drug Class (MAO Inhibitors, Glutamate Inhibitors, And Cholinesterase Inhibitors), Indication (Lewy Body Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Vascular Dementia, And Others), Distribution Channel (Retail Pharmacies, Hospital Pharmacies, And Others), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the Dementia drugs market under the drug class segment, the MAO inhibitors sub-segment is expected to hold a significant market share during the forecasted period from 2022-2027. This is because of the various technological advancements that are offered by the Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are an extremely strong class of antidepressants that help in the treatment of depression by preventing the breakdown of several brain chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It helps in regulating the mood of an individual. Furthermore, various Monoamine oxidase inhibitors that have been approved by Food and Drug Administration comprise of Isocarboxazid (Marplan), Phenelzine (Nardil), Selegiline (Emsam) and Tranylcypromine (Parnate) for the treatment of dementia.

Apart from this, in the indications segment, the Alzeihmers Disease can be anticipated to hold the significant market share owing to the rising prevalence of Alzeihmers disease, rise in the number of dementia drug approval, and presence of extensive pipeline stage drugs for this indication. For instance, as per the Alzeihmer’s Assocation 2022, an estimated 6.5 million Americans aged 65 years and older are living with the Alzeihmer’ disease in the year 2022.

Moreover, there is a plethors of drugs that are in the development stage for Alzeihmers and are on the verge of getting approvals. For instance, on June 09, 2021, Aducanumab, from the company Biogen, had been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Alzeihmer’s disease. Owing to a rise in the demential drugs receiving marketing approvals, there will be an increase in the demand of the dementia drugs leading to an increase in the overall dementia drugs market during the forecasting period from 2022-2027.



North America is expected to dominate the overall Dementia Drugs Market:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to occupy a major share in the overall dementia drugs market during the forecasted period. This domination is owing to the rising patient population in the region. Moreover, the rise in number of drug approvals granted to the key manufacturers as a treatment for dementia in the region, increasing government initiative and funding to various drug developmental projects associated with dementia, and the rise in the number of mergers, acquisitions and collaborations amongst dementia drug manufacturers in the region, among others are expected to drive the regional dementia drugs market in the forthcoming years.

The rise in the number ofaging population in the United States will also propel the dementia drugs market as the aged population is more prone to developing dementia. For instance, according to the data provided by the Alzeihmer’s Association, 2022, the number of Americans ged 65 years or older can be projected to grow from 58 million in the year 2021 to 88 million by the year 2050.

Furthermore, several dementia associated drugs have received an expedited approval grant by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , causing an increase in the demand of the dementia drugs, leading to an overall increase in the dementia drugs market. For instance, on June 24, 2021, Lilly’s donanemab had received the United States FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
