Molecular Diagnostics for Neurodegenerative Diseases: Technology Growth Opportunities, 2024–2028

Molecular Diagnostics for Neurodegenerative Diseases: Technology Growth Opportunities, 2024–2028


Leveraging integrated and point-of-care diagnostics with multiomics represents the most promising growth opportunity to advance molecular diagnostics for neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) pose significant challenges to healthcare systems and affect millions of people worldwide, making early detection crucial. While the current diagnostic strategy is predominantly brain imaging techniques, it is not performed until symptoms are more pronounced. Subtle changes occurring in neural cells during early progression cannot be detected by the structural or functional changes associated with NDDs.

This study is a comprehensive analysis that explores technological advancements, industry dynamics, strategic insights, and growth opportunities in molecular diagnostics for NDDs. It captures the role of leading companies, growing start-ups, and smaller companies with innovative product portfolios and an industry presence, key drivers and restraints, and strategic partnerships. The study also delves into funding, grants, mergers and acquisitions (M&As), and commercialization efforts.

Overall, this study aims to provide insights into the evolving landscape of molecular diagnostics for NDDs and implications for healthcare innovation and patient care.

Key Questions the Study Answers:
1. What are the different molecular diagnostics for NDDs?
2. What are the main challenges and complexities in the widespread adoption of molecular diagnostics compared to imaging diagnostics?
3. What are the primary sources of biomarkers used in NDDs? Who are the key and emerging participants in terms of innovation and technology in this space?
4. How are omics technologies, smart PoC devices, and exosome-mediated diagnoses emerging as novel molecular diagnostics modalities for NDDs? How do they improve accuracy?
5. What are the strategic implications of the emerging collaborations and M&As between academia and industry participants?
6. How do patents contribute to advancements in diagnostics and therapeutics for NDDs?
7. What are the growth opportunities for molecular diagnostics for NDDs?
