LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, November 23, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Despite the growth in their ageing populations, Western Europe and North America, the world’s two largest markets for drugs to treat diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, are growing at only 2.9% year on year. In contrast other regions display vigorous growth. Asia Pacific’s market, which is nearly as large as that of Western Europe, will grow at almost 9% year on year to 2020, and so will the smaller market of the Middle East. Africa and South America will also see above average growth.
The global market for these central nervous system drugs will be worth $83 billion in 2020, around 8% of the total for all pharma.
These medications are used to treat disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias, cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine and other headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, neuroinfections, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to head trauma, and neurological disorders as a result of malnutrition.
Greater affordability of treatments with growing GDP per capita in the emerging markets help account for rapid growth in the markets for these drugs.
The top-selling neurological medication brands in 2016 included Copaxone, Lyrica, and Tecfidera. The market for these drugs is more concentrated than that for most drugs, as the leading ten competitors account for two-thirds of the total instead of, as in the case of cardiovascular drugs, around one-third. America's Biogen is the market leader, closely followed by the Swiss Hoffman-La Roche, both with close to 12% of global sales; the USA's Johnson and Johnson is in third place with an about 9% share.
One of the trends shaping the market is s use of biomarkers to improve CNS drug development process. A biomarker is a biological variable which has a statistically significant relationship with parameters of disease states or drug candidates. It can be used to diagnose or predict disease, monitor disease progression and predict treatment response. Examples of biomarkers include protein levels, axonal damage, pulse, blood pressure and complex laboratory tests of blood and other tissues. Biomarkers can increase the statistical power of clinical trials and predict drug accuracy better than conventional clinical endpoints. This enhances product development and results in more effective treatments. The global CNS biomarker market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.7% through 2017, thus indicating a significant potential for biomarkers in this industry. Major drugmakers such as Pfizer, Biogen, Amgen, Novartis AG, Merck, Eli Lilly and Sanofi are involved in CNS biomarker drug development.
