The blood brain barrier technologies market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.57 billion in 2024 to $2.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to an emphasis on patient-centric drug development, increasing the funds for research, growing awareness about the disease, increasing the prevalence of neurological diseases, and innovation of drugs and delivery devices.

The blood brain barrier technologies market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on orphan drugs and rare neurological disorders, the growing burden related to CNS, increasing incidence of neurological diseases and augmenting the geriatric population, advancements in biomarker discovery, and robust healthcare infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in nanotechnology, increasing research funding, growth in CNS disorder treatments, rising demand for non-invasive delivery methods, development of novel drug delivery systems, collaboration between pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and increased regulatory support.

The blood-brain barrier technologies market is poised for growth due to the increasing prevalence of neurological diseases. These diseases affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems, including various components such as the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Factors contributing to the rising incidence of neurological diseases include an aging population, improved diagnostic methods, and lifestyle changes leading to higher-risk factors such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Blood-brain barrier technology plays a crucial role in improving drug delivery to the brain, addressing a major challenge in treating neurological disorders and significantly impacting the management of these diseases. For example, the Parkinson’s Foundation reported a steep 50% increase in diagnosed cases of Parkinson's disease in the U.S., reaching 90,000 people in December 2022, compared to 2021. This trend underscores the driving force behind the growth of the blood-brain barrier technologies market.

Leading companies in this market are concentrating on developing innovative, patented technologies to enhance drug delivery specifically to the brain. These advancements represent significant progress in overcoming the hurdles associated with delivering therapeutics to the brain, offering promising solutions for unmet medical needs in neurology. For instance, BioArctic AB was granted a new patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in November 2022 for technology that enhances the transport of biopharmaceuticals across the blood-brain barrier, part of their Brain Transporter patent portfolio aimed at improving drug effectiveness by bypassing the brain's natural protective barrier.

In October 2024, AbbVie, a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired J&J-backed Aliada Therapeutics for $1.4 billion. This acquisition allows AbbVie to expand its neuroscience portfolio by leveraging Aliada’s blood-brain barrier (BBB) technology to improve drug delivery for Alzheimer’s and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Aliada Therapeutics is a U.S.-based biotechnology company specializing in blood-brain barrier technology.

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) technologies encompass advanced methods and innovations crafted to explore, manipulate, and traverse the blood-brain barrier. These technologies are geared towards delivering therapeutic agents to the brain while safeguarding the barrier's protective functions, thus aiding in the treatment of neurological disorders.

Key BBB technologies include the bispecific antibody receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT) approach, the trojan horse approach, methods to increase permeability, passive diffusion, and others. The bispecific antibody receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT) approach entails utilizing bispecific antibodies capable of binding to targets within the brain and specific receptors on the blood-brain barrier, facilitating their transport into the brain. These technologies find applications in treating conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Hunter's syndrome, brain cancer, and more. End-users include hospitals, surgical centers, research institutes, and others.
