Antipsychotic Drugs Market Size
The global Antipsychotic Drugs Market Size is touted to touch USD 18.5 billion at a staggering 4.3% CAGR during the forecast period.
Anti-psychotics are drugs used in the treatment of psychosis which are a group of disorders characterized by serious distortion of thought, behavior, recognition of reality and perception, delusions and hallucinations.
The market for psychotics represents a huge potential as can be seen from the following estimates by World Health Organization (WHO)
Depression affects an estimated 300 million people in the world.
Bipolar affective disorder takes a toll on about 60 million people worldwide.
Schizophrenia, a severe mental disorder, affects about 21 million people worldwide.
Dementia has a prevalence in about 47.5 million people worldwide
One fourth of people are affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives.
Thus the current number of untapped patients are of an order of around 450 million. Other market drivers are growing awareness and focus on mental illness, inclusion of more conditions such as learning disability in the mental disorders segment, rise of geriatrics population and mental hospitals etc.
The market constraints are social stigma and discrimination, poor efficacy and efficiency of anti-psychotic drugs, serious side effects such as habit forming potential etc. Patent expiry is also constraining the market as a number of established brands such as, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Risperdal lost patents. The drug development pipeline represents another miserable situation. The development pipeline is poor with a few if any novel acting drugs. The market represents numerous drugs with same mechanism of action and similar therapeutic profile which has hampered the market. Strict regulatory framework is another barrier along with the technical difficulties with performing clinical trials for these class of drugs as it is difficult to separate cause and effect in case of anti-psychotic drugs.
Major Key Players:
The major participants of this market are: Eli Lilly & Co., Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, Pfizer Inc., GlaxoSmithKline Plc., Johnson & Johnson and others.
