Global Schizophrenia Market Analysis, Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, Threats, Trends, Applications, and Growth Forecast to 2027

Global Schizophrenia Market Overview

"The Schizophrenia Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031."

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Individuals with schizophrenia may find it difficult to distinguish between what is real and imaginary and may be unresponsive at times.

Also, individuals affected by schizophrenia may have difficulty expressing normal emotions in various social situations. The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, but some theories about the cause include; genetics (heredity), biology (abnormalities in the brain’s chemistry or structure), and/or possible viral infections and immune disorders. The treatments for schizophrenia include antipsychotics and specialty care.

Increasing incidence of schizophrenia in developed economies, growing awareness among individuals about treatments for schizophrenia, and increasing popularity among individuals for long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics are key factors driving the growth of the global schizophrenia drugs market. In addition, relatively high number of pipeline drugs, and availability of cost effective generic schizophrenia drugs are other factors expected to boost growth of the global schizophrenia drugs market over the forecast period.

However, high cost of therapies for treating schizophrenia and side effects caused by the intake of generic schizophrenia drugs are major factors restraining growth of the global schizophrenia drugs market. Additionally, lack of appropriate healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies and high cots in R&D of schizophrenia drugs are other factors expected to hamper growth of the global schizophrenia drugs market over the forecast period.

Currently, North America dominates the global schizophrenia market in revenue terms owing to the presence of a large patient pool and the availability of appropriate healthcare infrastructure in the region. The market in Europe accounted for the second-highest revenue share in the global schizophrenia market due to high healthcare expenditure by governments of countries, and increasing awareness about mental disorders, followed by markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa respectively. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to have the fastest growth in revenue, owing to the presence of a large patient pool and the availability of generic drugs for schizophrenia treatment in the region.
