Cerebral Infarction Drugs Market size was valued at USD 7.61 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 21.2 billion by 2037, expanding at around 8.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of cerebral infarction drugs is assessed at USD 8.64 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing frequency of cerebrovascular disease, coupled with the surging prevalence of ischemic strokes throughout the world. For instance, the frequency of ischemic strokes increased to over 7.8 million new ischemic strokes by 2019, which denotes ischemic strokes accounted for more than 63% of all incident strokes worldwide. Further, the worldwide growing ratio of the geriatric population, along with an increase in hypertension rate is another significant factor anticipated to fuel the growth of the global cerebral infarction drugs market over the forecast period.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of cerebral infarction drugs include the rise in population throughout the world as the increasing population has been affected by numerous types of disorders and cerebral infarction can affect any person of any age group. According to the World Bank report, in 2021, the total population of the world has expanded to 7.89 billion. Additionally, the growing awareness in people regarding the cerebrovascular disease, along with the surging investment in developing novel drugs is also estimated to spur market growth throughout the forecast period.
Growth Drivers
Worldwide Growing Prevalence of Sedentary Lifestyle – Lack of physical activity can have significant health consequences. A sedentary lifestyle is gradually becoming a part of the contemporary life of people, contributing to the rapid increase of dangerous diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cerebrovascular disease, strokes, and so on. Therefore, the growing prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle is a significant factor anticipated to boost the market growth of cerebral infarction drugs in the coming years. Based on a report, an estimated 3.6 million people die each year as a consequence of lack of physical activity, which affects about 34% of the world's population under 15 years old.
Rising Cases of Arterial Embolism - An arterial embolism is a clot (embolus) that has traveled from another part of the body and created an abrupt halt in blood flow to an organ or body part. Hence, the upsurge in arterial embolism is another significant factor that is estimated to proliferate the market growth in the coming years. Based on a clinical study, in non-hospitalized individuals, arterial embolism rates by 2022 varied from 0.07% (94% CI, 0.04-0.07) in the UK and Italy to 0.77% (95% CI, 0.78-0.81) in Spain. Whereas the arterial embolism rate in non-hospitalized patients in the Netherlands was around 0.9% (95% CI, 0.08-0.16), but it was 0.18% (95% CI, 0.11-0.24) in Germany. In Spain, the rate increased to around 3.09% (95% CI, 2.97-3.24) among Covid-19 patients who were hospitalized.
Increasing Cases of Brain Aneurysms - A brain aneurysm, also known as a cerebral aneurysm, is a thickening in a weak artery in or near the brain. Though they can develop in any part of the brain, the majority of brain aneurysms form in the large arteries running down the base of the skull. Hence, the surge in brain aneurysm and its complexities is also increasing the stances of cerebral infarction, which is further estimated to spike the market growth in the forecast period. For instance, currently, in the United States, an estimated 6.7 million people have an unruptured cerebral aneurysm.
Growing Ratio of Aged Population - According to the World Health Organization estimates, the world's population of adults aged 60 and more is expected to increase substantially by 2.1 million by 2050. Moreover, between 2020 and 2050, the number of persons aged 80 and more is expected to triple, hitting 426 million.
Rising Ratio of Clinical Trials and Their Positive Outcomes – For instance, in February 2022, Acticor Biotech SA disclosed favorable results from its ACTIMIS Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial of glenzocimab as an add-on treatment to the recommended treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The results demonstrated that the trial exceeded the primary outcome, proving glenzocimab's favorable effectiveness and safety.

Distribution Channel (Hospitals, Drug Stores, Online Pharmacies)
The cerebral infarction drugs market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by distribution channel into hospitals, drug stores, online pharmacies, and others. Out of these four segments, the hospitals segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 56% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the worldwide surging patient pool in hospitals to get efficient treatment and drugs for cerebrovascular disease, and ischemic strokes. For instance, in France, around 98,450 people were hospitalized for ischemic strokes and around 19,898 for intracerebral hemorrhage in 2019. In addition to this, the radically rising prevalence of the cerebrovascular disease among people, coupled with increasing stances of ischemic strokes are also estimated to boost the segment growth throughout the forecast period.
Drug Class {Tissue Plasminogen Activators (tPA), Anticoagulants}
The cerebral infarction drugs market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by drug class into tissue plasminogen activators (tPA), anticoagulants, and others. Amongst these three segments, the tissue plasminogen activators (tPA) segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 65% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be credited to the effectiveness of the tissue plasminogen activators (tPA) drugs in the treatment of cerebral infarction, and ischemic strokes, followed by its efficiency to restore blood flow by dissolving the clots in a blood vessel by activating the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme accountable for the breakdown of clots. On the other hand, the anticoagulants segment is projected to witness a notable CAGR during the forecast period, owing to their effectiveness as anticoagulants reduce the risk of an ischemic stroke or other embolic occurrences by more than two-thirds. Moreover, the surge in novel anticoagulant development is another factor anticipated to drive the growth of the market. For instance, Warfarin and some other newer anticoagulants function equally well in the long-term therapy of venous thromboembolism to avoid blood clots. One clot is avoided for every 15 persons who take any anticoagulant.
