Latin America Alzheimer’s Disease Market

Latin America Alzheimer’s Disease Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Latin America Alzheimer’s Disease Market was worth USD 1583.03 Million in 2024 and is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 4.43%, to reach USD 1966.15 Million by 2029.

The aging of the population in the region is a significant factor in developing the market for therapeutics and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The increase in life expectancy contributes to a rapid rise in the number of older people and is associated with a higher prevalence of chronic diseases such as dementia.

The key factor in the growth of the Latin America Alzheimer's disease diagnostics and therapeutics market is the high prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, which underlines the need to develop an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. In addition, Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia in older people, which is an integral part of the aging process. Consequently, the increase in the geriatric population is a significant driver of the Latin American market for therapeutics and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

According to the Alzheimer's Organization, despite the fact that Alzheimer's disease affects a considerable number of people, a large part of the population still lacks knowledge about the disease. According to the World Alzheimer's Report, in 2019, around 52 million people worldwide will have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. This number is expected to reach 155 million by 2050, so raising awareness is essential. The younger onset of Alzheimer's disease affecting people under 65 and a lack of public awareness are the main reasons for minimal public sympathy and insufficient related resources to enable effective diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

One of the significant trends observed in this market is the collaboration of existing players. Specifically, diagnostic technology companies are carefully trying to generate effective biomarker technologies to support and improve the drug development process for potential drug candidates, which is expected to drive demand.

However, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease comes with a stigma and social isolation, which is hampering in choosing an effective and timely diagnosis and treatment, leading to late-stage drug failure. Additionally, other factors such as strict government regulations and stringent regulations for the development and commercialization of drugs limit the market's growth. The lack of knowledge about new therapies used to treat Alzheimer's disease poses a significant growth challenge for the Latin American Alzheimer's disease diagnostics and therapeutics market over the prognostic period. In addition, the lack of availability of surrogate markers also challenges the market.
