Lundbeck A/S, Eli Lilly and Company, and others are expected to accelerate market growth over the forecast period. Besides, other pharmaceutical companies are also actively involved in the development of novel therapies and investing heavily to develop effective therapeutics for the treatment of CNS associated diseases.

Most of the late phase development drugs are for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The drug candidates such as aducanumab, brexpiprozole, evobrutinib, solanezumab are some of the potential drugs that could be commercialized in the next five to eight years for the treatment of various indication of neurodegenerative disorders. Apart from neurodegenerative diseases, migraine, schizophrenia, and epilepsy are the major CNS disease indications that have potential drug candidates in pipeline.

The cancer segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. Increasing prevalence, high mortality rate, and rising demand for effective treatment are expected to fuel the growth of the market for CNS therapeutic. According to National Cancer Institute estimates, the number of new cases of CNS cancers was 23,890 whereas the number of deaths was 18,020 in the U.S. in 2020.

Pharmaceutical companies are adopting strategies such as product development, merger and acquisition, and collaboration to strengthen their position in market. For instance, Biogen has signed agreements with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Atalanta Therapeutics, and Sangamo Therapeutics to develop novel therapeutics for the treatment of different disease indications of the central nervous system. Similarly, in January 2020, the CNS Pharmaceuticals has entered into a licensing agreement with MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate WP1244, a designed DNA-binding agent to cross the blood-brain barriers for the potential treatment of brain cancers.
