Dementia Drugs Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Indication, by Drug Class, by Distribution Channel : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

Dementia Drugs Market Research, 2031

The global dementia drugs market size was valued at $8.7 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $19.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2022 to 2031.

Dementia entails a decline in mental function from a previously higher level that is severe enough to interfere with daily living. A person with dementia has two or more of these specific difficulties, including decline in memory, reasoning, language, coordination, mood, and behavior. Furthermore, dementia develops when parts of the brain involved with learning, memory, decision-making or language are affected by infections or diseases. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia is caused by damage to brain. Dementia affects brain’s nerve cells, which destroys brain’s ability to communicate with its various areas. Dementia can also result from blocked blood flow to brain, depriving it of needed oxygen and nutrients. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain tissue dies. Damage to brain results in different symptoms, depending on the area of brain that is affected. Some dementias are not reversible and worsen over time.

Increase in demand for dementia drugs market size is anticipated to increase globally during the forecast period, owing to increase in the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease, advancement in R&D activities for drug development, and rise in adoption of early diagnosis. In addition, the growing geriatric population, increase in investment by players in R&D, and presence of robust pipeline candidates, rise in expenditure on the development of healthcare infrastructure, increase in public awareness about the disease prevention in developing regions, and surge in demand for personalized medicine further drive the growth of the market globally. However, strict government regulations related to product approval and high cost linked to R& D activity restrain the growth of dementia drugs industry. Conversely, accelerated technological advancement in drug discovery technique and high investment by the government for drug development are expected to offer lucrative dementia drugs market opportunity for the key player in the market.
