Market Drivers and Barriers

For instance, the John Hopkins University of Medicine and Salk Institute for Biological Studies in 2016, launched an initiative worth USD 15.4 million for the development of new studies and drug screening methods for bipolar disorder as well as schizophrenia.

But many drugs used for treating bipolar disorder have been associated with various side effects including addiction of the body to the drug. This factor could hinder the market growth to some extent in the coming years. However, advancement in technology is aiding the market growth, with the increasing use of smartphones, wearable devices and smartwatches, facilitating accurate detection of a patient’s mood and mental state. These devices also capture the behavioral, physiological, and environmental data accurately and effectively.
