Market Overview

Increasing Ageing Population to Result in Greater Incidence of CNS Disorders

The prevalence of central nervous system (CNS) disorders in the European population, which represents a significant component of overall healthcare expenses, is exhibiting a steady rise. Further, improving diagnostic techniques and growing awareness of these disorders are likely to result in an enhanced focus on the CNS therapeutics market. The ageing population is also expected to support market growth, as age is likely to be the most significant non-genetic risk factor contributing to most CNS disorders. In addition, the present lack of drugs to cater to the increasing number of patients diagnosed with CNS disorders offers tremendous scope to support new blockbuster products.

The market for psychiatric disorders features a high level of competition, thereby resulting in a shift in focus to neurological disorders, states the analyst of this research service. Accordingly, overall market growth will rely on the performance of segments such as Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. While no effective long-term treatment exists for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, the antipsychotics market also features a large proportion of patients hampered by side effects Side effects

 of drugs. Hence, the high level of unmet clinical needs effectively offers tremendous potential for the development of the CNS therapeutics market as a whole.

Improved Focus on Product Life-cycle Management to Assist in Market Expansion

In keeping with escalating healthcare costs, nations across Europe are implementing strategies to curtail overall costs, thus affecting the profit margins of pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, market penetration will prove difficult due to factors such as generic substitution, parallel reimportation re·im·port

Product life-cycle management will become essential, particularly in the context of mature markets such as depression and psychosis. At the same time, research should focus on expanding product indications as well as sustaining the market shares of blockbuster molecules.

Moreover, marketing collaborations and consolidation through mergers and acquisitions will aid in offsetting the risks of drug development. Market participants would also do well to concentrate on novel drug delivery methods to exploit existing opportunities for market growth.
