Overview: Parkinson’s disease is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, which progresses with age because of damaged dopaminergic cells in the brain. Bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability, and tremors are the symptoms of the Parkinson’s disease. Huge patient pool and rising rate of diagnosis are the significant factors driving the market growth. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation has stated that nearly 10 million people are suffering from this disorder globally. The highest frequency of this disorder is observed in developed countries, and in the US, almost 60,000 new cases are reported annually.

PD is an idiopathic disease for which the cause of the occurrence is still unknown, hence only symptomatic drugs are available in the market for the treatment. Furthermore, the disorder is diagnosed in the final stages when the majority of the cells that produce dopamine lose their functionality. This is demanding more innovative and novel drugs for the treatment.

Market Analysis: The “Global Parkinson’s Disease Drugs Market” is estimated to witness a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period 2018–2024. The market is analyzed based on two segments – drug class and regions.
