Tardive Dyskinesia Therapeutics Market Trends
The rising prevalence of tardive dyskinesia (TD) is significantly propelling the growth of the TD therapeutics market. As per recent statistics it has been indicated that approximately 20-30% of individuals on long-term antipsychotic therapy develop TD, highlighting the widespread impact of this condition.
- For instance, as per the report published in Healthline in February 2022, in the U.S. alone, an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 people are affected by TD. This growing patient population drives the demand for effective therapeutic options, prompting increased research and development efforts. Thus, the introduction of novel treatments such as VMAT2 inhibitors like valbenazine and deutetrabenazine, has enhanced symptomatic management, thereby contributing to market growth.
- Additionally, the increase in awareness among healthcare providers and improved diagnostic techniques are leading to more timely and accurate diagnoses, further boosting the demand for TD therapeutics.
