Growth Drivers
Growing Prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease – Between now and 2050, the number of dementia sufferers in the Asia-Pacific area will triple. More than half of all dementia sufferers globally will reside in the Asia Pacific region by the middle of the century.
Government Initiatives for Alzheimer’s Patients – World Health Organization unveiled an 8-year plan, the “Global Action Plan” for people suffering from dementia. This plan aims to guide member states in creating new strategies and evaluating the pre-existed plans. As of December 2018, 16 plans are available in the Region of Europe (EURO), 5 are in the Region of the Americas (AMRO), 4 are in the Region of the Western Pacific (WPRO), 1 is in the Region of the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), and 1 is in the Region of Southeast Asia (SEARO)
Increasing Development of Drugs for Alzheimer’s Disease – For instance, TauRx announced the result from the phase 3 trial of HMTM treatment curated for patients at the early stage of Alzheimer’s. The result indicated that the treatment aided the cognitive improvement and brain atrophy rate achieved similarity with a healthy person.
Growing Geriatric Population – Alzheimer’s disease is the most common reason for the dependency in the elderly population. According to the United Nations, the Asia-Pacific population is aging the fastest of all the regions in the world. Around 60% of the population in the region which is 630 million people are 60 years old or above. However, it is expected that the geriatric population in the region is likely to reach 1.3 billion by 2050.
Rising Investment for the R&D Healthcare Sector – Influx of investment in the healthcare sector is expected to advance the development of Alzheimer’s treatment, diagnostics methods, and dementia care products. According to the Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Trends 2022/2023, the pharmaceutical industry attracted a higher amount of FDI worth USD 32 billion between 2008-2021, followed by medical devices and healthcare garnering an investment of USD 20 billion and USD 10.8 billion, respectively.

Diagnosis Method (CT Scan, Magnetic Resonance (MRI), PET Scan, Electroencephalography (EEG), Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Test)
The Asia Pacific Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by diagnosis method (CT scan, magnetic resonance (MRI), PET scans, electroencephalography (EEG), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test, and others. Out of the six types of diagnosis methods, the PET scans segment is estimated to gain the largest market size of USD 898.8 million by the end of 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 9.5% over the projected time frame. Moreover, the segment is to garner a revenue of USD 333.8 million in 2022. Alzheimer's disease's neuropathological signature is brain amyloid (AD). By radiolabeled tracers, it can be detected using in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Moreover, PET scanners help in early detection of dementia. Moreover, it aids the better scanning of the brain and improves cognitive neurosciences. The growth of the segment is attributed to the benefits of the PET scans in the detection of dementia. In 15/44 clinical subjects (34%), amyloid PET imaging changed the diagnosis. From around 73% pre-scan to nearly 93% post-scan, the average level of diagnostic confidence increased by around 20%. Furthermore, the growth of the segment can also be credited to the higher number of PRT scanners present in the region. In 2020 there were nearly 550 PET scanners in Japan.
Treatment Provider (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, Home Care)
The Asia Pacific Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by treatment provider hospitals, specialty clinics, and home care. Amongst these three segments, the hospitals segment is expected to garner a market revenue of USD 2761.4 million by the end of 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 14.1% over the forecast period. Additionally, the segment generated a revenue of USD 693.2 million in 2022. Hospitals can provide a better care to the patient suffering from Alzheimer and dementia. In hospital, their condition can be monitored all the time. The segment growth is attributed to the higher admission of dementia affected people in the hospitals.
