-
The Schizophrenia market is expected to grow as awareness of the condition increases and more effective treatments are developed. The number of schizophrenia cases is projected to rise from 2024 to 2034 due to greater awareness of mental health and advancements in diagnostic methods. In the early stages of schizophrenia, symptoms are often vague and overlap with other mental health issues or normal behavioral changes, which can delay diagnosis due to stigma and fear. This gap between prevalence and diagnosis often leads to delays in treatment.
-
Currently, there is no cure for schizophrenia, and treatment primarily focuses on symptom management and relapse prevention. In some cases, hospitalization may be required. The main treatment approaches include medication and psychosocial therapy. Pharmacological treatments play a key role, with both mono and combination therapies available to address symptoms.
-
Antipsychotic drugs, which are central to treatment, dominate the market and are divided into first- and second-generation medications. Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are preferred over first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) and are commonly prescribed in the US, including FDA-approved medications such as CAPLYTA (lumateperone), VRAYLAR (cariprazine), LYBALVI (olanzapine and samidorphan), REXULTI (brexpiprazole), and LATUDA (lurasidone hydrochloride). Other oral therapies like FANAPT and ABILIFY MYCITE are also used.
-
The competitive landscape is evolving with the approval of generic versions of drugs like LATUDA, leading to a significant decrease in its market revenue during the forecast period. Recent studies suggest that long-acting injectables (LAIs) may be more effective than oral medications in reducing hospitalization risk. Injectables such as ARISTADA (aripiprazole lauroxil), ABILIFY MAINTENA (aripiprazole), INVEGA products, RISPERDAL CONSTA (risperidone), and PERSERIS (risperidone) are important in this area.
-
Although there have been significant improvements in schizophrenia treatments, non-adherence remains a challenge, contributing to higher morbidity and mortality. Established atypical antipsychotics are effective for managing positive symptoms but have limited impact on cognitive and negative symptoms.
-
In 2022, the US had the largest schizophrenia market size among the 7MM, with a value of approximately USD 5,749.0 million, and this is expected to grow further by 2034. Increased research and development, along with a better understanding of the disease, have driven advancements in clinical knowledge. Emerging therapies like Ulotaront (SEP-363856) from Sumitomo Pharma/Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Reviva Pharmaceuticals’ brilaroxazine (RP5063) are expected to enter the market during the forecast period, bringing new players to the treatment landscape.
-
Brilaroxazine (RP5063), a new compound with strong selectivity for serotonin and dopamine receptors, is anticipated to be introduced to the US market in 2026, potentially challenging current treatments. Additionally, BMS’s novel drug, KarXT—now named COBENFY—received FDA approval on September 26, 2024, as the first muscarinic agonist for schizophrenia, marking the first new treatment class for the condition in 35 years since CLOZARIL (clozapine) was approved.

Schizophrenia Overview
Schizophrenia is a complex, long-lasting, and severe mental disorder that involves a variety of psychological symptoms, including distortions in perception, thinking, emotions, and behavior. Contrary to common misconceptions, schizophrenia is not a condition of split or multiple personalities. It is also not caused by childhood trauma, poor parenting, or a lack of willpower, and its symptoms can vary significantly between individuals. Furthermore, most people with schizophrenia are not violent and do not pose a risk to others.
Schizophrenia affects about 1% of the population in the United States, disrupting thinking, emotions, decision-making, and social interactions. It typically emerges in the late teens to early twenties in men and late twenties to early thirties in women. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to its onset, with a strong hereditary link.
Risk factors for schizophrenia include genetic predisposition, changes in brain structure and function, viral infections, and immune disorders. As multiple factors may contribute to the development of schizophrenia, its exact cause remains unknown in individual cases. Since schizophrenia encompasses a range of disorders, variations in its causes across different cases are expected.
Symptoms of schizophrenia are typically categorized into three types: psychotic (such as hallucinations and delusions), negative (such as a lack of motivation and social withdrawal), and cognitive (such as problems with attention and memory). Hallucinations involve sensing things that are not present, such as hearing voices, while delusions are strong, false beliefs. Negative symptoms include a loss of motivation and social withdrawal, and cognitive symptoms can impair attention and memory, making everyday tasks difficult.

Recent developments in the Schizophrenia market:
-
In January 2025, Boehringer announced that its Phase III CONNEX program for the investigational schizophrenia drug iclepertin failed to meet its primary and key secondary endpoints. After six months, the drug showed no significant cognitive or functional improvements compared to a placebo across all three studies.
-
In January 2025, Johnson & Johnson and Intra-Cellular Therapies reached a definitive agreement for Johnson & Johnson to acquire all outstanding shares of Intra-Cellular Therapies, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in CNS disorder treatments, for $134.00 per share in cash, with an overall equity value of approximately $14.6 billion.
-
On November 11, 2024, AbbVie announced that its two Phase 2 EMPOWER trials of emraclidine, a once-daily oral monotherapy for adults with schizophrenia and acute psychotic symptoms, did not meet the primary endpoint. The trials showed no significant improvement in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to a placebo at week 6.
-
On September 26, 2024, Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved COBENFY™ (xanomeline and trospium chloride), an oral treatment for schizophrenia in adults. This approval is particularly significant as it introduces the first new drug class for schizophrenia in 35 years, targeting M1 and M4 receptors in the brain without blocking D2 receptors, potentially changing the treatment landscape for the disorder. CEO Chris Boerner, PhD, highlighted the importance of this novel approach in neuropsychiatry.
-
On September 21, 2024, Teva Pharmaceuticals reported positive results from its Phase 3 SOLARIS trial for TEV-749, a subcutaneous injection for schizophrenia. The trial showed significant reductions in the PANSS total score by week 8 and improvements in key secondary endpoints, with no instances of post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome (PDSS). These results were presented at the 37th Annual European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Congress in Milan, Italy.
-
On September 12, 2024, BMO Capital Markets analyst Evan Seigerman expressed concerns about Neurocrine Biosciences’ development strategy after inconsistent results from mid-stage trials of luvadaxistat. Neurocrine announced it would discontinue the development of this investigational schizophrenia drug after the Phase II ERUDITE study failed to meet its primary endpoint of cognitive improvement in over 200 patients. The company noted that luvadaxistat did not replicate the cognitive benefits observed in the earlier INTERACT study, where a 50-mg dose showed significant improvements.

Schizophrenia Market Outlook
Schizophrenia treatment generally involves a combination of medication and psychosocial interventions to manage symptoms. Antipsychotic drugs, divided into first-generation (FGAs) and second-generation (SGAs), are commonly used as first-line treatments. In some cases, a mix of antipsychotics and antiepileptics is used. Both oral antipsychotics (OAPs) and long-acting injectables (LAIs) are available for each type. Clinicians often use both FGAs and SGAs to address the diverse symptoms of schizophrenia.
FGAs, such as chlorpromazine and haloperidol, are effective but carry a higher risk of neurological side effects, including tardive dyskinesia. As a result, SGAs, like brexpiprazole (REXULTI), lumateperone (CAPLYTA), and lurasidone (LATUDA), are preferred due to their lower risk of serious side effects. These medications target neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, with each offering specific benefits for managing symptoms.
Brexpiprazole (REXULTI) works by modulating dopamine and serotonin receptors to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia. Lumateperone (CAPLYTA), a serotonin-dopamine activity modulator, has a unique mechanism that may offer better efficacy and tolerability than traditional antipsychotics. These medications are part of the evolving treatment landscape, addressing the varied needs of schizophrenia patients.
