The Migraine Drugs Market size is estimated to grow by USD 1.34 billion at a CAGR of 6.36% between 2023 and 2028. The market's growth is driven by several factors, including the increasing number of patients suffering from migraines, the advent of regenerative medicines, and the introduction of new classes of migraine drugs with higher clinical efficacy. These elements collectively propel market expansion, reflecting advancements in medical treatments and rising patient needs. The growing prevalence of migraines underscores the demand for effective therapeutic options. Simultaneously, the advent of regenerative medicines highlights innovative treatment approaches, offering potential long-term relief. Additionally, the introduction of new migraine drugs with enhanced clinical efficacy showcases the pharmaceutical industry's efforts to improve patient outcomes. Thus, the interplay of these factors delineates the landscape for the anticipated growth of the migraine treatment market.
The emergence of regenerative medicines is one of the major factors fuelling the market. In addition, migraine drugs, despite the presence of various highly effective therapies, face a threat due to the lack of curative therapies. Moreover, all drugs that are approved for the treatment of neurologic indications, including migraine, either provide symptomatic relief from the indication or slow down the progression of the indication. Furthermore, no drugs that can reverse the damage caused by the indication and cure the disease have been approved. Therefore, to overcome this challenge, various pharmaceutical companies and research institutions are conducting studies to develop novel regenerative therapies, such as stem cell therapy and gene therapy, for various indications. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market.

The market is influenced by various factors, including patient awareness about migraine management and treatment options. Technological advancements contribute to the development of more effective migraine medications. The prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and the increasing incidence among the younger generation drive the demand for drugs. Challenges include the complexity of neurological medical diseases, necessitating the use of diverse medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antipsychotics. Additionally, addressing neurological conditions requires overcoming challenges like osmophobia and sensory disturbances, while ensuring minimal side effects. There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Blood pressure lowering medications are often prescribed to manage neurological medical disease, as fluctuations in bloodstream pressure can exacerbate neurological condition and contribute to sleep disturbance. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increasing number of patients suffering from migraine. The rise in the number of patients suffering from migraine is one of the major factors fuelling the market. In addition, it is a highly prevalent neurological disease across the world. Furthermore, its prevalence is higher in North American regions across the globe. Moreover, the overdose of pain-relief medicines can also lead to migraine-related problems. In addition, the frequent use of some medications can lead to the development of a disabling condition termed medication-overuse headache (MOH).
Furthermore, some of the other reasons that trigger migraine are lack of sleep, hunger, changes in the weather, excessive stimulation of the senses, and stress. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the increasing drug reformulations and repositioning in the pharmaceutical industry. Drug reformulations are one of the significant trends in the market. In addition, drug reformulation is the process of making a change in formulation or repositioning a component of a drug. Furthermore, while most companies reformulate drugs to protect their patent rights, drug reformulations are also a strategy to strengthen the company's portfolio.
Moreover, most drugs that are administered orally or intravenously often face the threat of low patient adherence. In addition, to overcome this, companies are working on increasing patient compliance and the bioavailability of drugs by developing new drug delivery systems, including transdermal patches, ER formulations, and orally disintegrating tablets. Therefore, these new formulations also help companies increase the efficacy of drugs, as novel formulations help drugs reach the targeted site easily. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth.
Concerns related to side effects of migraine drugs are one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. There are various concerns related to the side effects of migraine drugs which are negatively impacting the market. In addition, there are various risks associated with the drugs prescribed for migraine.
Moreover, several drugs have side effects, and the most common side effects are drowsiness, weight gain, insomnia, muscle weakness, chest pressure, warm sensations, and agitation. For instance, 5-HT1f drugs such as lasmiditan (Reyvow) work on pain pathways and stop the pain and other bothersome migraine symptoms. In addition, the side effects of these drugs include dizziness, fatigue, tingling, and numbness in the skin. Hence, such factors hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The hospitals segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 1.18 billion in 2018. For instance, in April 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved expanding the indication of QULIPTA (atogepant) for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults, thereby increasing their demand in healthcare facilities such as hospitals and clinics. In addition, factors that are positively influencing segmental growth are an increase in admissions of patients with migraine symptoms such as unilateral or throbbing pain in the forehead, side of the head, or around the eyes, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia, which can increase the demand for migraine drugs. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
The preventive treatment segment in the market is fuelled by its treatment of reducing the attack frequency and the severity of migraine. In addition, preventive or prophylactic treatment includes the prescription of off-label and generic medications that include beta-blockers such as propranolol and atenolol. Moreover, preventive drugs are taken regularly, often daily, to reduce the severity or frequency of migraine. In addition, preventive medications help in increasing the effectiveness of the symptom-relieving medicines used during migraine attacks. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
There is significant growth in the abortive treatment or acute treatment segment in the market due to its pain-relieving medication treatment for migraine. In addition, the availability of abortive treatment for migraine has increased over the years. Moreover, abortive treatment for migraine can be classified as specific and non-specific treatment. In addition, the non-specific treatment includes analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Furthermore, the abortive drugs that are taken under the prescription or guidance of the doctors will function as an acute treatment for migraine. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
