Market Overview
The Global Central Nervous System Biomarkers Market size reached US$ 4,790.8 million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ 9,852.7 million by 2030. The market is exhibiting at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Biomarkers or biological markers are quantitative measurements that provide information about biological processes, a disease state, or a response to treatment. They have the potential to better understand the etiology and pathogenesis of a given disorder, providing researchers and clinicians with valuable insight into diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for many debilitating disorders and diseases.
The central nervous system biomarkers market is driven by factors such as combining proteomics, genomics, and metabolomic interrogation of CNS tissues, CSF, or blood, and imaging technologies and the development of novel biomarkers.

Market Dynamics
Increasing Demand For Novel Biomarkers
Novel potential biomarkers for CNS disorders include the tau protein, neurofilament light chain (NFL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1). The tau protein is a neuroaxonal marker located mainly in the white matter of the central nervous system and is reported to be increased in ischemic stroke and cardiac arrest. The NFL is highly accurate in prognostication after cardiac arrest, but it has also been reported to increase in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
GFAP is an astrocytic marker that is produced as part of a neuroprotective mechanism and has been associated with prognosis after head trauma, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and cardiac arrest. UCH-L1 is a neuronal cell body marker that is crucial for neuroaxonal stability and repair after brain injury.
Technological advances have increased the pace of biomarker discovery, but most are yet to be validated. Incorporating biomarkers into clinical trials and practice will help improve study efficiency and inform advancements in personalized neurology.
High Cost of CNS Biomarker Testing and Diagnostics
With the high cost of the validation process, such as sample collection & storage, government rules and policies are changing since reimbursements do not cover biomarker-mediated therapies that are not considered standard of care.
Even though biomarkers add significant value to tests, refunds are limited. For instance, Medicare, the nation’s largest healthcare insurer with more than 50 million beneficiaries, does not fund experimental medicines or most screening and biomarker tests. Therefore, the above factors are expected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has been linked to a range of neurological complications, including cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative changes. For instance, Marshall University, West Virginia, reviewed the diverse neurodegenerative changes associated with COVID-19 and highlighted the importance of major circulating biomarkers, associated with disease progression and severity.
Their literature survey indicated that important CNS proteins, such as GFAP, NfL, and pT181-tau, and various inflammatory cytokines, are altered significantly in COVID-19 patients. The current understanding of the neuropathological changes associated with COVID-19 and the potential use of biomarkers in identifying patients at risk for developing severe forms of the disease is limited.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict Analysis
Risk about the war’s long-term impact on the scientific community worldwide and the missed opportunities for research in Ukraine’s academic, medical, and scientific disciplines during Russia Ukraine war. Ukraine was testing 251 medicines and devices, according to the FDA’s clinical trials database.
According to the clinical trials database, in 2022, over 1,000 medication clinical trials were underway or planned in Ukraine, including 786 in the field of oncology alone. The war has had a negative impact on Russian clinical trial sites, as resources and manpower are not allocated according to priority, leading to worsening CNS care.

Segment Analysis
The global central nervous system biomarkers market is segmented by type, application, disease, end-user, and by region
Based on Type, Safety Biomarkers Segment Is Expected To Drive The Market Growth
The safety biomarkers segment accounted for the highest market stake accounting for approximately 35.5% of the central nervous system biomarkers market in 2022. Safety biomarkers are expected to dominate the market growth due to increased awareness of health issues such as depression, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. They play a crucial role in preclinical and clinical research trials, with rapid changes in growth measurement, computation, and analysis leading to the explosive growth of the translational research field. For Instance, Donanemab improved cognition and ability to perform activities of daily living in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease at 76 weeks.

Geographical Analysis
The Rising CNS Cancer Cases And Increasing R&D Expenditure
North America is estimated to hold around 42.7% of the total market share throughout the forecast period due to rising CNS cancer cases and increased R&D expenditure. According to the American Cancer Society, brain malignancy is the second most common cancer in children and adolescents, where CNS biomarkers are commonly used.

Competitive Landscape
The major global players in the market include Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Biogen, Alseres Pharmaceuticals, Aposense, Avacta Life Sciences Ltd., Banyan Biomarkers Inc., Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., DiaGenic ASA, G-Biosciences, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
