Market Overview
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-70% of all dementia cases worldwide. As the number of people aged 65 years and older continues to increase, the prevalence of Alzheimer's is expected to nearly double over the next decade. In 2024, an estimated 55 million people were living with dementia globally - a figure projected to exceed 78 million by 2034 (WHO).

The Alzheimer's disease market comprises diagnostic tools, pharmaceuticals, and supportive care solutions. Emerging treatments aim to slow neurodegeneration by targeting beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein aggregates, while advances in biomarkers and imaging technologies are enabling earlier, more accurate diagnosis.

Regional Analysis
North America
North America dominates the Alzheimer's market, accounting for over 45% of global revenue in 2024. The U.S. remains the epicenter of innovation with major FDA approvals for Leqembi (2023) and donanemab (expected 2025). A strong healthcare infrastructure, increasing screening rates, and favorable reimbursement frameworks are driving regional demand.
Government initiatives such as the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) and NIH funding exceeding USD 3 billion annually reinforce North America's leadership. The growing use of PET scans, genetic screening, and digital cognitive platforms also supports early intervention strategies.

Europe
Europe represents the second-largest market, supported by robust clinical research networks and high awareness among healthcare professionals. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accelerated the review of novel therapies, particularly amyloid-targeting agents. Countries like Germany, France, and the U.K. are investing in national dementia plans and expanding patient care facilities.
The region's focus on early diagnosis, combined with favorable policies for elderly care, will continue to bolster market expansion.

Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth rate (CAGR ~9.8%) over the forecast period. Rapidly aging populations in Japan, China, and South Korea, combined with increasing healthcare investments, are creating a large addressable patient base.

Japan remains a key innovator in neurodegenerative research, while China's growing approval of Western Alzheimer's drugs and domestic R&D programs indicate major expansion potential. India's improving healthcare infrastructure and awareness programs further contribute to regional growth.

Middle East & Africa
The Middle East and Africa markets are developing gradually, driven by increased awareness and improved diagnostic infrastructure in the Gulf states. However, limited access to high-cost therapies and diagnostic delays still constrain adoption rates across low-income nations.

Latin America
Latin America's market is growing steadily, led by Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. Aging demographics, improved access to neurological care, and government partnerships with pharmaceutical firms are helping expand diagnostic and treatment capabilities.

Overall Regional Trend:
While North America and Europe lead in therapy approvals and adoption, Asia-Pacific is emerging as a fast-growing hub due to demographic shifts and accelerating healthcare modernization. Over the next decade, significant market expansion is expected across China, Japan, and India.
