Schizophrenia Market Set for Strong Growth, Driven by Novel Therapies

• The schizophrenia market is expected to grow significantly, driven by the launch of novel therapies and increased diagnosis rates. • Long-acting injectables (LAIs) are gaining traction despite higher costs, offering an alternative to oral antipsychotics. • The US dominates the schizophrenia market due to a large patient population and high drug costs. • Emerging treatments like Cobenfy, evenamide, Ingrezza, and iclepertin aim to address unmet needs in managing both positive and negative symptoms.
