Executive Summary
Biomarkers are measurable and quantifiable biological indicators that can be used to diagnose or predict disease, monitor disease progression, indicate what treatment options may be most effective in an individual patient’s case, and predict treatment response. They play a role both in new drug R&D and in predicting the outcome of treatment in the medical setting. Biomarkers are important tools for understanding disease mechanisms, developing more effective treatments and improving the quality of patient care.
A biomarker of a central nervous system (CNS) disorder is, by definition, differentially expressed between a normal subject’s brain or spinal cord (CNS system) and that of a subject bearing a CNS disorder. Traditionally, CNS or neuroscience biomarkers could only be detected after a subject already exhibited cognitive decline or other symptoms of disease. However, recently, sensitive assays have shown biomarkers to be present even in advance of other symptoms.
The global CNS biomarker market was valued at $5.7 billion in 2022. The market is projected to reach $9.5 billion in 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period. This aggressive growth rate will be driven by several factors, including the increase in public-private partnerships with government support, pressure to keep healthcare costs down, a growing elderly population, and the rapid advancement of the genomic and proteomic technologies that have impacted the CNS biomarker diagnostics area.
There is huge unmet need in the area of CNS diseases due to the lack of fast and sensitive diagnostic methods and effective treatments. CNS biomarkers are rapidly emerging as the mainstay in the identification of patients at risk, early diagnosis, follow-up of disease progression, and effectiveness of treatments in neurology, in particular for demyelinating diseases (such as multiple sclerosis), neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s disease) or traumatic brain injury.
In order to expedite drug development for neurology diseases, it is important to identify novel biomarkers that enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, improve the existing decision criteria for early diagnosis and risk stratification, assist in disease monitoring, and act as surrogate endpoints in experimental studies and clinical trials. Efforts are being directed to expand neurology research and develop platforms and methods that can provide deeper insights into brain biology and aid in further biomarker research. Several biomarkers that have been identified in the past decade are under investigation for their potential applications. Once these biomarkers are validated and subsequently enter into clinical and research applications, the CNS biomarkers market is expected to grow significantly.
