Key Market Trends
The Second-generation Antipsychotics Sub-segment is Expected to record the Better Growth Over the Forecast Period
The usual first-line treatment for schizophrenia is antipsychotic medication. One of the commonly preferred medications is risperidone, which is also known as a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) or atypical antipsychotic. Risperidone rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood, and behavior. It is expected to help in curing some or all of the symptoms of schizophrenia. Moreover, in the United States the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes of bipolar disorder, maintenance (long-term) treatment of bipolar disorder (Risperdal Consta® only), and irritability associated with autistic disorders. There are several second-generation drugs available in the market, which are commonly proposed by doctors/physicians. Continuous support by the government to private and public healthcare companies also boosts the growth of companies in this segment. Therefore, considering the aforementioned reasons, the market for second-generation antipsychotics is likely to grow steadily over the forecast period.
