Neuroimmunology Drug Development Market Overview

Neuroimmune communication is complex, bidirectional, and mediated across both neural and humoral pathways. A neuroimmunology drug is an agent that aims to regulate immune system activity to treat neurological diseases with underlying immune pathologies. Of the innovator products marketed for the eight key indications covered in this report, the majority are indicated for multiple sclerosis (MS), followed by neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and for myasthenia gravis (MG). Most marketed neuroimmunology products are small molecules, followed by mAbs and recombinant proteins. The list of pipeline neuroimmunology therapeutics currently in development is extensive and holds numerous novel approaches to targeting neurological indications.

The neuroimmunology drug development thematic research report focuses on neuroimmunology drug development within eight key indications (MS, NMOSD, GBS, CIDP, MG, AD/MCI, PD, and ALS) across eight major pharmaceutical markets (8MM: the US, 4EU, the UK, Japan, and China).

What are the key trends in the neuroimmunology drug development market?

Industry trends

The majority of marketed disease-modifying neuroimmunology products are those approved for the treatment of MS. With over 20 different disease-modifying therapy (DMT) products available, companies are forced to contend with the complexities of a crowded market. There are many ways in which companies seek to differentiate their products, including frequency of administration, method of administration, and side-effect amelioration. Most patients who experience MS exacerbations face the prospect of life-long treatment. As such, the development of novel MOAs for this disease form is still a major focus of industry. For the non-MS indications, there are only a few neuroimmunology products currently approved.

Macroeconomic trends

The majority of marketed neuroimmunology products are of high cost, particularly in the US. The MS market in the US is beginning to see cost savings due to the launch of generic dimethyl fumarate. The launch of other generic and biosimilar agents over the next 10 years will help to keep rising costs in this market at bay.

Regulatory trends

Numerous diseases are either rare and/or have a high degree of unmet need for new treatment options. Hence, many of the associated neuroimmunological products have been assigned special designations to speed up and incentivize the development. To make drugs that treat rare diseases available more quickly, several country-specific key designations and processes exist.

Key Highlights

Report deliverable include a PowerPoint report.

Of the innovator products marketed for the eight key indications covered in this report, the majority are indicated for MS (23 drugs), followed by three each for NMOSD and AD, and two for MG. Most marketed neuroimmunology products are small molecules (12 drugs), followed by mAbs (nine drugs) and recombinant proteins (seven drugs).

According to GlobalData’s Drugs Database, there are currently almost 220 neuroimmunology drugs in Phase I, II, III, and later stages of development in the 8MM. The highest number of drugs are in development for AD (75 drugs), followed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (39 drugs), PD (35 drugs), MS (26 drugs), and relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) (26 drugs).

The top 20 neuroimmunology products were worth $20.1 billion in 2020 and are expected to be worth $26.6 billion by 2025. Growth is driven primarily by the continued uptake of Ocrevus in MS and new launches across several indications. Extensive deal-making is occurring within the neuroimmunology drug space, with the top-valued deal being the acquisition of Alexion Pharmaceuticals by AstraZeneca, announced in December 2020.

Of the ten key players involved in the neuroimmunology market, Roche, Biogen, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson (J&J), Novartis, Sanofi, and UCB are all involved in marketing or developing neuroimmunology products across multiple neurological indications. The remaining three players are instead focused on neuroimmunological products in just one indication each—Merck KGaA in MS and Eisai and Lilly in AD.

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

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.
