Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopment disorder that affects individuals’ ability to focus, control impulsive behaviors, and manage hyperactivity. It is mostly diagnosed in childhood, but symptoms can persist into adolescence and adulthood. Treatment for ADHD often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including behavioral therapy, education, and medication such as stimulants and non-stimulants.
Factors such as the growing prevalence of ADHD and a surge in the demand for treatment drugs propel the growth of the market. However, side effects associated with ADHD drugs and their limited relief impede the ADHD therapeutics market growth.
As per the article published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in February 2022, approximately 6 million children aged 3–17 years in the US were diagnosed with ADHD, accounting for 9.8% of the population between 2016 and 2019. Additionally, according to an article published by PubMed Central in 2022, ADHD affects 5–7.2% of children and 2.5–6.7% of adults worldwide. According to recent estimates, the frequency of adolescents in the US is much greater, at roughly 8.7% or 5.3 million. Although it has traditionally been thought of as a childhood condition, up to 90% of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms in adulthood. It is also possible to diagnose in adults because 75% of individuals with ADHD were not previously diagnosed during childhood, according to a research study. ADHD is frequently associated with comorbid conditions such as anxiety, depression, learning disorders, and substance abuse. The presence of these comorbidities increases the treatment complexity, necessitating a multi-dimensional approach that addresses both ADHD symptoms and associated conditions. Drugs such as psychostimulants and non-stimulants are recommended, which can assist children in managing their ADHD symptoms in their daily lives and can help regulate behaviors that may cause difficulties in various aspects of their lives, including personal life and academic performance. Thus, the factors mentioned above are increasing the demand for drugs indicated for ADHD, facilitating the expansion of the ADHD therapeutics market share.
However, the growth of the ADHD therapeutics market is restricted due to the limited relief of symptoms and the side effects associated with the use of therapeutics. Common side effects of psychostimulant medication include decreased appetite, insomnia, increased anxiety, increased irritability, stomach ache, and headache. When the effects of the medication wear off, ADHD symptoms may return, causing the "rebound" effect that can be more intense.
