Neurological biomarkers are detectable substances majorly found in the cerebrospinal (CSF) fluid when there has been some damage to the brain. These biomarkers help in early diagnosis of neurological disorders, drug development, and for developing personalized medicine. However, the growing research and discovery in the field of neurology has enabled the introduction of novel methods for detection and better treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, and others. For instance, according to an article in Science Journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science in December 2017, researchers at the University Of Arizona College Of Medicine, Tucson, used neurological biomarkers to study the immunological response of the body to the dead brain tissue after stroke. The process of removal of dead brain tissue by the immune system is known as liquefactive necrosis. Neurological biomarkers play a crucial role in monitoring the progress of liquefactive necrosis to prevent neurotoxicity.

Global Neurological Biomarkers Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19, as pandemic on March 11, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Neurological Biomarkers

The COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. Biotechnology industry is one such sector which has been majorly impacted by the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the biotechnology industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. However, the demand for neurological biomarkers is expected to increase during the pandemic due to association of neurological conditions with COVID-19 infection.

According to an article published by Alzheimer's Research & Therapy journal in June 2021, a study by Cleveland Clinic, revealed a close relationship between coronavirus genes and neurological disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease. The study showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection led to several pathways related to neuroinflammation and brain microvascular injury, which may lead to cognitive impairment as well. Thus, impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to fuel the growth of the global neurological biomarkers market during the forecast period, owing to rising neurological disorders as a result of COVID-19 infection during the pandemic.

The global neurological biomarkers market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8,979.6 Mn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 14.7% over the forecast period (2021-2028).
