Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market Size to Reach USD 118.5 Billion by 2033

The growing prevalence of tumors and stroke on account of excessive alcohol consumption, in confluence with the rising geriatric population, represents one of the major factors increasing the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases.
Published 13 November 2025

Market Overview

The global neurodegenerative disease treatment market size was valued at USD 78.3 Billion in 2024. It is projected to reach USD 118.5 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.48% during the forecast period 2025-2033. Neurodegenerative diseases involve progressive degradation of neurons in the central or peripheral nervous system. Increasing prevalence of related disorders and advancements in molecular diagnostic techniques are driving market expansion.

Market Growth Factors

Brain tumors and strokes are caused by drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. The aging of populations causes tumors, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases to occur more frequently. There is also a need in molecular diagnostic tests for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) for early screening and prevention purposes.


Neuropathologists also research neuropathology using molecular biology techniques to classify these diseases and assist in developing diagnostic techniques. The techniques will be more specific and less intrusive to test for early neurodegenerative disease, which may imply treatment and affect the outcome for the patient with neurodegenerative disease.


Government initiatives by several nations and NGOs to promote health education and to create awareness regarding the risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, as well as to improve the healthcare infrastructure, are expected to support growth in the neuropathic pain treatment market. An increase in disposable income is also expected to fuel market sales.
