Dopamine agonists are medications that activate dopamine receptors in the brain, mimicking the effects of natural dopamine. These medications are commonly used to manage disorders caused by low dopamine activity or impaired dopamine signaling.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The main types of dopamine agonists are ergot-based dopamine agonists and non-ergot-based dopamine agonists. Ergot-based dopamine agonists are derived from ergot alkaloids and work by activating dopamine receptors in the brain to help manage neurological and hormonal conditions. These medications are available in various forms, including oral, parenteral (injectable), and transdermal patches. They are distributed through various channels, such as hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and other pharmacy outlets. Ergot-based dopamine agonists are commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as Parkinson's disease, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and hyperprolactinemia. Key end users include hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.
The dopamine agonist market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dopamine agonist market statistics, including the dopamine agonist industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the dopamine agonist market share, detailed dopamine agonist market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dopamine agonist industry. This dopamine agonist market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The dopamine agonists market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$2.57 billion in 2024 to $2.76 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing incidence of Parkinson's disease, a rise in the diagnosis of restless legs syndrome (RLS), expansion of reimbursement coverage, growing research funding for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, and increasing healthcare awareness.
The dopamine agonists market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to$3.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of neurological disorders, the aging global population, an increase in research and clinical trials, the expansion of combination therapies, and rising awareness and diagnosis rates. Key trends expected during this period include the use of personalized medicine and genetic profiling, the development of wearable drug delivery systems, the integration of AI and machine learning in drug development, advancements in extended-release formulations, and the application of nanotechnology for drug delivery.
The rising incidence of neurological disorders is expected to significantly drive the growth of the dopamine agonist market. Neurological disorders, which impact the brain, spine, or nerves, cause issues related to movement, cognition, and behavior. This increase in prevalence is largely due to longer life expectancies, as conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's become more common with age. Dopamine agonists are used to treat disorders such as Parkinson's disease by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, helping to enhance motor control and alleviate symptoms. For example, the Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report from the Alzheimer's Association, a US-based nonprofit focused on Alzheimer's care, support, and research, indicates that in 2022, 6.5 million Americans aged 65 and older were diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia, a number projected to rise to 6.9 million by 2024. As a result, the growing prevalence of neurological disorders will continue to drive the expansion of the dopamine agonist market.
Leading companies in the dopamine agonist market are focusing on innovations such as flexible-dose monotherapy to enhance patient adherence, minimize side effects, and offer more tailored treatment solutions for neurological disorders. Flexible-dose monotherapy involves a single drug with an adjustable dosage, allowing healthcare providers to customize the treatment based on the patient's unique needs and responses. For instance, in November 2024, AbbVie Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, reported positive results from its Phase 3 TEMPO-2 trial, where investigational tavapadon, a flexible-dose monotherapy (5-15 mg once daily), showed significant improvements in motor function among early Parkinson's disease patients. The trial met its primary goal with a substantial reduction in MDS-UPDRS Parts II and III scores and achieved important secondary objectives, indicating meaningful improvements in daily motor activities. Tavapadon is the first D1/D5 partial agonist being investigated for once-daily Parkinson's treatment.
In August 2024, AbbVie, a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Cerevel Therapeutics for $8.7 billion. This strategic acquisition allows AbbVie to enhance its neuroscience portfolio by gaining access to Cerevel's innovative pipeline of treatments targeting psychiatric and neurological disorders. Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings Inc. is a US-based biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
