Neurological Biomarkers Market Size Worth $16.5 Billion By 2026

The global neurological biomarkers market size is expected to reach USD 16.5 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is estimated to register a CAGR of 14.5% over the forecast period, driven by an increasing prevalence of neurological diseases and emergence of novel diagnostic products.

Neurological biomarkers can be used for diagnostics, drug discovery, or personalized medicines among other applications. These products may be employed in drug development to reduce attrition rates during clinical trials. Some neurological biomarkers can further be used to predict drug failures early in the development process by determining their pharmacological effect on patients, which helps the pharmaceutical company obviate additional costs associated with further clinical trials.

There remains a significant dearth for in-depth knowledge of the pathophysiologies of several neurological disorders, thus resonating with the unmet need for more research and increased funding for the same. Though technological advancements and rising consumer awareness are flag-bearers in this market growth, there remains considerable scope for advanced diagnostics – in terms of precision, specificity, and test time.

The diagnostic landscape in this market is gradually shifting towards genetic testing and counseling. Biomarker signatures are a rising trend in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. This has resulted in non-invasive testing, faster drug development, and early diagnosis of abnormalities/diseases. Furthermore, digital biomarkers provide various pharmaceutical companies with contextual and supplemental information to conclude clinical trial decisions. For instance, IXICO plc is collaborating with biopharmaceutical companies to validate clinically digital biomarkers and use them in clinical trials.

Proactive initiatives by public and private organizations to heighten consumer awareness is a key driver of the neurological biomarkers market. For instance, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) one of the largest grassroot organizations in the U.S. is dedicated to educating, advocating, and supporting mental health patients about diagnosis and apt treatment for their conditions. Such drivers reflect a prosperous future in the global biomarkers market.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

Most biomarkers evaluating neuronal damage cannot be clinically useful individually, and are generally used in panels
Most cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers used in medical practice are amyloid β and tau proteins
Nascent products allow a broader scope for characterization and selection of treatment strategies
Inconsistent regulatory trends remain a major constraint for the market
Asia Pacific is positioned to witness the fastest regional growth

Auto-injectors Market Size Worth $3.2 Billion by 2026

The global auto-injectors market size is expected to reach USD 3.18 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.5%. Rising incidence of anaphylactic shock and other diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid, & multiple sclerosis along with increasing approvals of auto-injectors are impelling growth.

Increasing prevalence of life-threatening allergies and rising demand for these devices are expected to aid growth. As per the Food Allergy Research & Education, around 200, 000 people every year need emergency medical care for allergic food reactions.

In addition, increasing approvals are anticipated to drive growth. For instance, in August 2018, U.S. FDA approved the first generic epinephrine auto-injector of Teva Pharmaceuticals to treat emergency allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Generic versions of EpiPen Jr & EpiPen of 0.15 mg & 0.3 mg, respectively, are indicated for pediatric and adult patients weighing more than 33 pounds.

Moreover, manufacturers are also developing new products and innovative technologies, which is expected to propel market growth. For instance, in June 2018, AbbVie GK launched Humira, which is a fully human antitumor necrosis factor alpha monoclonal antibody formulation with lock function & injection start & end alerts as well as an inspection window and injects completely in 10 seconds. Demand for these devices is increasing as they are designed in accordance with patient acceptance and compliance. Technological advancements are anticipated to make them more convenient and user-friendly. This is encouraging patients to adopt this technology for chronic illnesses.

Further key findings from the study suggest:

Disposable auto-injectors emerged as the largest segment owing to convenience and ease of use
Homecare settings accounted for largest share in end-use segment owing to increasing demand of products for daily administration of insulin
North America dominated the auto-injectors market with largest share in 2018. Increasing demand for new technologies along with advanced healthcare infrastructure is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period
Asia Pacific is expected to witness fastest growth during the forecast period owing to increasing number of diabetic patients
Some of the key players are Eli Lilly; Scandinavian Health Ltd.; AbbVie, Inc.; Amgen; Owen Mumford; Ypsomed; Teva Pharmaceutical; Biogen Idec; Mylan N.V.; Pfizer, Inc.; and Sanofi

Specialty Generics Market Size Worth $174.9 Billion By 2025

The global specialty generics market is expected to reach USD 174.9 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rise in demand for low-cost generic specialty drugs is a major factor estimated to accelerate the market growth during the forecast period. Introduction of cost-effective drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, cancer, and other infectious diseases is expected to showcase huge opportunities for the specialty generic drug manufacturers. According to U.S. FDA, generic drugs cost 80% to 85% lower as compared to branded drugs. One of the factors contributing to their affordable price is that they do not need to repeat expensive clinical trials, advertising, and promotional activities. Thus, low cost of generic specialty drugs is expected to accelerate the demand for these medicines.

Rise in number of off-patent specialty drugs is another major factor expected to support growth of the specialty generic drugs market. For instance, the patent for Gilenya, a blockbuster drug by Novartis, will expire in 2019. This drug led to USD 3.1 billion in sales in 2016 for Novartis, with 14% sales growth. In April 2017, Novartis failed to acquire patent extension for Gilenya till 2026 in the U.S. Federal Circuit. Such early patent expirations are expected to boost the entry of new generics.
