COVID-19 IMPACT 

The Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to Factory Closure During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic has hugely affected the Dementia and Alzheimer's disease Treatment Market, with its main impact being the postponement and halting of current clinical trials of new drug therapies. It was caused by lockdowns, social distancing, and enrollment and follow-up with patients. Moreover, the usage of clinics and hospitals deteriorated because patients became afraid to visit them and get infected, meaning that fewer diagnoses and prescriptions were made, even of the currently existing drugs. Isolation and impaired routine led to the worsening of cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric symptoms in a great number of patients with dementia, which is why the necessity of further care and research in the area of such a vulnerable population cannot be overlooked. Nevertheless, the pandemic has also given a boost to telehealth as a new option of providing care and monitoring remotely, which in the long run may be one of the means of improving access to care for dementia and Alzheimer's.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities, and challenges, stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

Growing Geriatric Population to Boost the Market

The Growing Geriatric Population is a major factor in the Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment Market Growth. As medical technology has contributed to a rise in life expectancy in many societies around the globe, a greater percentage of people are living longer to advanced ages when the chances of contracting such neurodegenerative diseases are quite high. This population movement in a direct translation means an increase in the number of potential patients seeking to be diagnosed, as well as receive continuous treatment and some forms of treatment, and as such, this creates a natural and long-term demand of pharmaceutical solutions, cognitive therapeutic approaches and supportive care services hence escalating market expansion in all the segments.

Emergence of Disease-Modifying Therapies to Expand the Market

The onset of Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs) will increase the Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Market to a great extent. In the past, there was only symptom treatment, which had very little impact on the disease. Nevertheless, as the monoclonal antibodies against amyloid formation (such as lecanemab and donanemab) have shown promising results against the disease within the past years, the paradigm is shifting to a paradigm of treating the disease at its core pathology. Use of this breakthrough has opened up fresh hope to combat the slowing in the progress of cognitive decline, and this is why there is a lot of major investment in research and development, besides a rich pipeline of novel medications designed to address other mechanisms of the disease. There has also been talk that these DMTs will substantially revolutionize the treatment of patients, as they have the potential to change the natural progression of the disease.

Restraining Factor

High Cost of Treatment and Lack of Accessibility Impedes Market Growth

The fact that the cost of all existing, and especially the new methods of dementia and Alzheimer treatment, is high poses a great barrier to mass expansion in the market. More modern disease-modifying drugs can cost tens of thousands of dollars annually, and this is a significant financial burden on the financial situation of patients, their families, and relevant health systems. This results in low accessibility, since insurance coverage can be restrictive or partial; moreover, in low- and middle-income countries, where most people with dementia live. The existence of these financial barriers could create problems in patient uptake, hamper timely interventions, and subsequently curtail the entire market potential in spite of the increasing demand for effective therapies.

Growing Demand for Home-Based and Personalized Care Solutions for Product Opportunities in the Market
