Description

The autism spectrum disorder therapeutics market size attained a value of USD 2.11 Billion in 2024, driven by the increasing research and development aided by the government and industrial players, and a growing pipeline of autism spectrum disorder drugs across the 8 major markets. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.10% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a value of USD 3.81 Billion by 2034.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapeutics Market Overview

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological development disability characterized by conditions such as anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit, hyperactivity, among others. This neurological and developmental disorder can begin in infancy and last throughout adulthood throughout a person’s life. It can be diagnosed based on behavioural patterns. ASD treatments are focused on reducing the factors that interfere with an individual’s orderly functioning. Some of the drugs approved by the U.S. FDA include Risperidone and Aripiprazole for treating irritability associated with ASD.

The autism spectrum disorder therapeutics market is affected by the growing number of patients and the increasing awareness regarding the disease. The rising governmental initiatives are also expected to encourage research in this area. Further, rapid technological advancements in medicine are likely to favor market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the adoption of behavioral therapies to overcome the communication gap in such patients is poised to aid the market expansion.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapeutics Market Growth Drivers

Rising Number of Pipeline Drugs Expected to Propel Market Growth

The forecast period is expected to witness rising development of drugs to treat autism spectrum disorder. The presence of a growing pipeline of ASD drugs and increasing research and development in this field is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in 2023, STALICLA, a Swiss clinical-stage biotech company announced the completion of the phase 1b trials for STP1. The trials will allow the application of the company’s precision medicine discovery platform in ASD. The increasing research and development activities associated with autism spectrum disorder are expected to result in the introduction of new and effective treatment options, which are set to elevate the market value.

Growth in Clinical Trials to Meet Rising Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapeutics Market Demand

In March 2024, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Israel, SciSparc Ltd., announced the dosing of the first patient in the SCI-210 clinical trial, a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial for pediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder. SCI-210 treatment is a combination of CannAmide™ (palmitoylethanolamide-based tablets) and cannabidiol-rich oil (CBD). The clinical trial, which will enroll 60 children, aims to assess the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of SCI-210 for the treatment of ASD in comparison to CBD monotherapy. The surge in clinical trials, supported by substantial investment from the leading pharmaceutical companies, is anticipated to significantly contribute to the market growth.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapeutics Market Trends

The market is witnessing several trends and developments to improve the current scenario across the 8 major markets. Some of the notable trends are as follows:

Advancement in Diagnostic Tools

The rising advancement in diagnostic tools and techniques that enable earlier detection of autism spectrum disorder is a major trend that stimulates the demand for the therapeutics market. Further, increased implementation of screening programs, particularly in schools and pediatric practices, is resulting in early diagnosis and timely intervention._x000D_
