Cataplexy Drugs Market Outlook:
Cataplexy Drugs Market size was over USD 4 billion in 2024 and is set to cross USD 13.97 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of cataplexy drugs is assessed at USD 4.67 billion.
The supply chain for the raw material depends heavily on the active pharmaceutical ingredients. Some of the prominent APIs that are sourced globally are modafinil and sodium oxybate. The Food and Drug Administration stated that 28.2% of the APIs in the U.S. are procured domestically, and 72.8% are gathered from India and China. These statistics show the risks of a concentrated supply chain. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the export price index for pharmaceuticals surged from 100.1 to 102.5 from 2024 to 2025.
Other than this, the cataplexy drugs witnessed a 4.21% annual surge in Producer Price Index (PPI), fueled by compliance costs and scarcity of the APIs. Also, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows a 6.2% increase in the variability for insurance reimbursement. The U.S. government also stated that investment in research and development reached USD 1.89 billion in 2022, with almost 62.3% granted to next-generation therapies clinical trials. The cataplexy drugs market is shaped by the prevalence of narcolepsy and increased research and development in the sector.
