Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Market (2nd Edition), 2020-2030: Focus on Non-Invasive Drug Delivery Technology Platforms and Therapeutics
NEW YORK, May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
INTRODUCTION
According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), diseases that affect the central nervous system (CNS), such as Alzheimer's disease, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and stroke, are characterized by a significant unmet need for effective treatment options. In 2019, it was reported that nearly 1.5 billion people suffer from some form of disorder affecting the CNS across the globe. , , In fact, the incidence of CNS disorders is anticipated to increase by 12% by 2030. In 2019, nearly 5.8 million Americans were reported to have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. , Similarly, Parkinson's disease was estimated to affect nearly one million people in America, with approximately 60,000 new patients being diagnosed every year. It was estimated that CNS disorders are responsible for a healthcare burden of nearly USD 2 trillion, in the US and Europe. Developing viable therapies against the aforementioned clinical conditions is largely complicated due to the elusive blood-brain barrier (BBB), a selectively permeable structure, which is very effective in preventing the entry of foreign substances, including drugs, into the brain. It has been reported that over 1,000 currently available / under development drugs targeting CNS disorders do not have the potential to target specific brain receptors responsible for the disease progression due to the hindrance by the BBB. Considering the serious physical, cognitive and psychosocial consequences that such indications have on patients, coupled to the alarming increase in their global prevalence, there is an urgent need for novel and effective treatment options that can cross the BBB.

Over time, extensive R&D efforts have resulted in the development of a number of versatile BBB penetration technologies. These technologies have been designed either to externally alter the permeability of the BBB or augment the BBB penetrating capabilities of compatible pharmacological interventions. As a result, presently, there is a lot of enthusiasm within the medical science community related to these technologies. The growing interest in this field is also evident in the fact that over 1,200 modern scientific articles have been published (as observed on NCBI's PubMed portal) over the last three years alone. However, it is worth mentioning that there are currently no approved BBB penetrating drugs available in the market. Currently, this niche market is driven by technology licensing activity, with drug developers collaborating with platform providers to grow their respective therapeutic pipelines. In fact, over the last 4-5 years, there has been a marked rise in the number of new entrants in this field. We anticipate this upcoming market to witness substantial growth in the coming years.
