Alzheimer’s Disease – Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2028

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by memory loss, cognitive impairment, and functional decline. During the early stages of the disease, sleep disturbances and forgetfulness are generally the first presenting symptoms. In the severe stages, patients with AD require permanent observation, either by a home care professional or a family member. The rapidly declining status of patients with AD results in a drastic reduction in quality of life (QOL) for both patients and their caretakers. With rapidly increasing worldwide prevalence, AD has been identified as a major global health threat by the international medical community. Significant efforts have been made to develop a new treatment for AD, as current pharmacologic management is known to only provide a temporary improvement in symptoms. Without therapies that effectively stop or reverse the course of the disease, a large area of opportunity exists for the development of an effective pharmacologic approach.
The current competitive landscape in AD consists only of symptomatic treatments, of which there are currently six approved medications: three ChEIs (donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine), one NMDA-R antagonist (memantine), one combination therapy (memantine/donepezil), and one Aβ A4 protein inhibitor (sodium oligomannate). Improvements to the approved therapies, such as easier routes of administration and reduced dosing frequencies, along with the developments that are expected to occur within the next decade, could have a significant effect on the way the disease is managed. Earlier disease detection may render the currently available therapies more useful, but until disease-modifying agents are introduced, the landscape will not change significantly.
GlobalData estimates that drug sales for AD in 2018 were approximately $2.2B across the eight major markets covered in this report. Over the 10-year forecast period, the market is expected to grow to $12.9B at a CAGR of 19.3%. This growth will be driven by the increasing prevalence of AD and MCI worldwide, and the introduction of DMTs including Biogen’s aducanumab, Eisai’s BAN-2401, and Roche’s gantenerumab. This growth will be driven by the launch of eleven late-stage pipeline products.
Key Questions Answered
• What are the key AD treatments in 2018?
• When will the late stage pipeline products launch, and how will it affect drug sales and the overall AD market in the 8MM?
• Which unmet needs will remain unaddressed in the forecast period and what opportunities remain for pharmaceutical companies?

Scope

Overview of Alzheimer’s Disease, including epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and disease management.

Annualized Alzheimer’s Disease therapeutics market revenue, cost of therapy per patient, and treatment usage patterns in four patient segments (MCI, Mild, Moderate and Severe) forecast from 2018 to 2028.

Key topics covered include strategic competitor assessment, market characterization, unmet needs, clinical trial mapping and implications for the Alzheimer’s Disease therapeutics market.

Pipeline analysis: comprehensive data assessing emerging trends and mechanisms of action under development for Alzheimer’s Disease therapy. The most promising candidates in Phase III development are profiled.

Analysis of the current and future market competition in the global Alzheimer’s Disease therapeutics market. Insightful review of the key industry drivers, restraints and challenges. Each trend is independently researched to provide qualitative analysis of its implications.

Key Highlights

Significant growth is expected in the AD market from 2018 to 2028

GlobalData’s anticipate that eighteen late stage pipeline drugs will launch over the forecast period. These are expected to be the main driver of growth in the MS market across the 8MM.

GlobalData projects that Biogen’s aducanumab will be one of the highest-selling DMT for AD, generating $4.2B in the 8MM in 2028.

There are no curative therapies for AD, and most existing DMTs only have limited efficacy on treating symptoms.

Opportunities are expected for pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs which have novel MOAs; which have potential disease modifying properties.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
