Description
The global Alzheimer's disease therapeutics market was valued at USD 3.52 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 6.66 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 9.2% from 2023 to 2029. Increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's disease worldwide and investments in therapeutic development are driving market growth. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive impairment. Current treatments provide temporary symptom improvement, but there is a need for effective pharmacological approaches. Laboratory tests and brain-imaging technologies aid in diagnosis. The market primarily consists of symptomatic treatments, with seven approved medications. Clinical trials are in progress, with a focus on Phase II development. The approval of Aducanumab in 2021 and the introduction of novel therapies will contribute to market growth. The market is driven by the rising prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and significant R&D investments.

Market Segmentation
The market is segmented based on various factors, including drug class, gender, age group, severity, and geography.
Drug class: ACE inhibitors, NMDA inhibitors, others
Gender: men, women
Age group: 65-74 years, 75-84 years, 85 years & above
Severity type: mild, moderate, severe
Geography: North America, Europe, APAC
ACE inhibitors are projected to have a significant share in the global Alzheimer's disease therapeutics market, but the fastest-growing segment is expected to be other classes of drugs. The recent approval of biologics like Aducanumab (Aduhelm) is anticipated to drive the global Alzheimer's disease therapeutics market in the future. In terms of gender, women are expected to contribute significantly due to their longer life expectancy and larger population affected by Alzheimer's disease. Among different age groups, those aged 85 years and above are expected to dominate the market, but the fastest-growing segment will be the population aged 65 years and above. Individuals with mild forms of the disease will hold a significant share in the global therapeutics market, while the fastest-growing segment will be individuals with moderate forms.
In the U.S., the incidence of Alzheimer's disease was reported to be 229,385 in 2021, and this number is predicted to increase substantially. The United States holds a dominant position in the global market due to factors such as affordability of healthcare, knowledge and awareness, and technological advancements. However, China is expected to experience faster growth with a high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) due to the rising geriatric population, increased awareness, and growing healthcare expenditure in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
