Neurological Biomarkers Global Market Report 2024

The neurological biomarkers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.46 billion in 2023 to $10.63 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders, the aging population, the demand for drug development, increased funding for neurological research, and the growing focus on personalized medicine.

The neurological biomarkers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to biomarkers for early detection, the development of biosensors, the adoption of wearable devices, global health initiatives, and a patient-centric approach. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovation in imaging, rapid advances in omics technologies, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the use of real-world evidence in biomarker validation, advancements in diagnostic technologies, and collaborative efforts between industry and research institutions.

The anticipated rise in the prevalence of neurological diseases is poised to drive the growth of the neurological biomarker market. Neurological illnesses impact the brain, spinal cord, and the body's nervous system. In the case of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, neurological biomarkers play a crucial role in providing early diagnoses through pathological, biochemical, and genetic testing. As of December 2022, the Parkinson's Foundation reported an increase in new diagnoses of Parkinson's disease, reaching 90,000 in 2022 compared to 60,000 per year in 2021. This surge underscores the role of neurological biomarkers in addressing the growing prevalence of neurological diseases.

The increasing incidence of schizophrenia is expected to contribute to the growth of the neurological biomarkers market. Schizophrenia, a severe mental health disorder, presents cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Neurological biomarkers offer the potential for early detection, objective diagnostic measures, personalized treatment, reduced reliance on subjective assessments, and a deeper understanding of the disorder's neurobiological mechanisms. Globally, approximately 24 million people, or 1 in 300 individuals (0.32%), suffer from schizophrenia, with adults experiencing this at a rate of one in 222 (0.4%), as reported by the World Health Organization in January 2022. This prevalence underscores the significance of neurological biomarkers in addressing conditions such as schizophrenia.

Major companies are forging partnerships to enhance innovation and solidify their market positions. Collaborations, such as the one between NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. and NeuraLight, leverage complementary expertise to accelerate the development of biomarkers for neurological disorders. In this case, the partnership aims to identify oculometric indicators for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Such collaborations facilitate the advancement and commercialization of novel therapies by combining resources and expertise.

Major companies in the neurological biomarkers market are developing innovative products, including advanced biomarker blood tests. Quanterix Corporation, for instance, launched the LucentAD biomarker blood test. This test, analyzing p-Tau 181 levels, aids medical professionals in evaluating patients with cognitive symptoms indicative of Alzheimer's disease. The test is positioned as a diagnostic tool for adults undergoing assessment for Alzheimer's disease but is not intended for standalone screening or diagnosis, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach.

In May 2021, GE Healthcare acquired Zionexa, a molecular technology company, to expand its portfolio of precision cancer medicines. Zionexa's focus on developing in vivo oncology and neurology biomarkers aligns with GE Healthcare's objectives in advancing medical technology.
