The global narcolepsy therapeutics market size is expected to reach USD 6.01 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.85% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing awareness about this sleep disorder among the public and healthcare providers is a key factor contributing to the market growth. Government and non-government bodies are conducting awareness programs and campaigns to educate people and healthcare professionals to manage the disease globally.
High unmet requirement for disease treatment is encouraging market players to develop and introduce novel therapeutic products in the market. Market players have invested significantly in understanding narcolepsy in recent years. Therefore, the approval of new effective drugs such as Wakix and Lumryz is expected to drive market growth. Moreover, special designations grants for pipeline drugs are further motivating pharmaceutical companies to invest in the development of novel drugs. For instance, Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. has AXS-12 in a phase-3 clinical study. It is being investigated for sleep disorders, both cataplexy and EDS. Moreover, AXS-12 received the U.S. FDA Orphan Drug designation for the treatment.
The landscape of treatment for the disease is expected to evolve rapidly. According to the American Journal of Managed Care, technological advancements in drug development processes are making neurological diseases an attractive therapeutic area for drug manufacturers. Hence, an increase in R&D activities related to the disease is anticipated over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2023, Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. FDA to initiate a phase-1 clinical trial of KP1077 in narcolepsy.
The Narcolepsy Network has estimated that 1 out of every 2,000 people is afflicted by this condition. Moreover, Narcolepsy UK states that approximately 25% of patients are identified and the remaining 75% are untreated as they remain undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed, which is alarming. Some organizations and networks are constantly working to spread awareness about this condition among patients and physicians.
