Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market By Indication (Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Acute Migraine, Autism, Narcolepsy, Tourette Syndrome), By Drug Class (Neurotransmitter Agents, Neuroprotective Agents, Biologics) - Global Market Forecast 2020-2030

Global Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market Overview

Neurodegenerative diseases largely refer to incremental damage to nerve cells in different parts of the body. These ailments, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, and ALS, can result in loss of memory and cognitive control.

While cures for such conditions are very limited, over the years, the pharmaceutical industry has released a number of treatment offerings to minimize the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases.

The global rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market size is anticipated to expand at a steady rate to surpass a valuation of US$ 116 billion by 2030-end. The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a moderate impact on the market. Advances in medical technology for the diagnosis and treatment of these ailments will contribute to long-term growth.

Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market Insights by Indication

Neurodegenerative diseases can arise from deposits of toxins in brain tissue or alternatively through genetic mutations, or misfolded protein in the body’s neural network, which can result in a range of illnesses.

The rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market has been divided into varying indications, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, acute migraine, autism, narcolepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, spinal muscular atrophy, Tourette syndrome, and others.

The leading indication of rare neurodegenerative diseases, which holds a majority market share, is from multiple sclerosis, with increasing cases across North America and Europe.

Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease also account for substantial market share, with increased research investments, which is a major growth influencer.

Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market Insights by Drug Class

The global rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market is primarily segmented according to drug class into neurotransmitter agents, neuroprotective agents, and biologics. Out of these, neuroprotective agents are estimated to account for a larger market share on the back of lower toxicity in comparison to conventional synthetic drugs.

The use of plant polyphenols aids neurotransmitter regulation and regular functioning of neurotransmitter receptors. Also, these drugs provide antioxidant benefits, which widens the scope of therapeutic applications, aiding growth in the market.

Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market Insights by Distribution Channel

In the rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market, drugs are commonly distributed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. Out of these channels, hospital pharmacies account for significant rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market share.

Growth of this segment can be primarily attributed to the availability of critical drugs, robust supply chains, and larger volumes of inventory being maintained by relevant hospital facilities in the industry.

Regional Outlook of Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market

The global rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market is divided into the following regions – North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

North America is likely to remain a prominent market for rare neurodegenerative disease treatment, with efforts by major market players to consolidate their position through strategic mergers and acquisitions.

Europe is also projected to reflect strong growth on the back of growing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, while Asia Pacific will generate lucrative opportunities with increased investments in healthcare modernization initiatives in China and India, coupled with the growth of medical tourism in the region.

Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market: Key Players

The global rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market is fairly fragmented in nature, characterized by the presence of numerous small-scale players in regional markets.

Leading players in the market include Allergan Plc, Bayer AG, F.Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline plc, Johnson & Johnson, Merck KGaA, Novartis AG, Pfizer Inc., Sanofi, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Manufacturers in the rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market are increasingly emphasizing on investments towards product development and launches, with improvements in functionality and accuracy of results.

• For instance, Ionis Pharmaceuticals announced the receipt of FDA approval of Orphan Drug status for its ION373 treatment for Alexander Disease.
• Similarly, Orphazyme A/S announced the acceptance of New Drug Application for arimoclomol as a viable treatment for Type C Niemann-Pick disease.
• Also, PTC Therapeutics launched PTC Pinpoint, which is a genetic testing program for detecting neurotransmitter disorders.

The Analyst’s Viewpoint

“A number of drug candidates for rare neurodegenerative disease treatments in research & development and clinical trial settings have revealed promising results. Consequently, major pharmaceutical manufacturers are expected to leverage these opportunities in the near future, through investments in product development and strategic collaborations.”

COVID-19 Impact on Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market

Recent research has shown that the effects of COVID-19 on people suffering from rare neurodegenerative disorders is largely unpredictable. For instance, neuropathology of Parkinson’s disease has been found to potentially reduce symptoms of the COVID-19 virus. On the other hand, patients suffering from multiple sclerosis are at higher risk.

In addition, progression of neurodegeneration and long-term impacts of COVID-19 are yet to be discovered, with neurological ailments increasing the severity of acute respiratory syndrome.

Further, redirection of medical resources for COVID-19 treatment and restrictions on in-person consultations are likely to have an adverse impact on the rare neurodegenerative disease treatment market in the short term, while creating lucrative opportunities through telehealth mediums.
