Neurological disorders represent a significant and escalating global health concern which is considered a substantial portion of the overall disease burden worldwide. According to a United Nations report, nearly 1 billion people around the world suffer from various neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Peripheral Neuropathies and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. This high prevalence of neurological disorders has placed significant strain on healthcare systems financially and resource-wise. A WHO report states that the U.S. alone spends more than USD 655 billion every year on neurological disorders. Interestingly, many therapies are available in the market for treating such diseases. However, the existing treatment’s limited efficacy or insufficiency to treat certain conditions related to axonal degeneration has created a need for highly effective therapeutics targeting neurological disorders.

Consequently, including these factors and the rising incidence of neurological disorders has expanded the potential growth of the SARM1 inhibitor market. Sterile Alpha and toll/Interleukin-1 Receptor Motif-Containing 1 (SARM1), a NADase enzyme, has emerged as a pivotal factor in triggering axonal degeneration which is a fundamental characteristic observed in numerous neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, several drug developers are exploring SARM1 inhibitors as promising therapeutic candidates in order to address neurological disorders. The evaluations cover a range of preclinical investigations and early phases of clinical trials at a global scale. Notably, the first product is expected to be commercially launched in 2033. Besides these factors, the SARM1 inhibitors market is expected to grow driven by the potential benefits of SARM1 inhibitors, promising preclinical data, continuous advancements, mounting research, and innovation in the SARM1 targeting therapeutics in this domain till 2040.
