Schizophrenia – Landscape & Forecast – Disease Landscape & Forecast (G7)
The schizophrenia therapy market remains very competitive; atypical and typical antipsychotics play a dominant role. While the continued generic erosion of atypical antipsychotics influences psychiatrists’ treatment decisions, newer oral agents—such as Caplyta (Intra-Cellular Therapies, now acquired by Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine)—are striving to gain traction. The long-acting injectable (LAI) segment is evolving as well, driven by increasing competition and the introduction of new LAIs, including Lundbeck / Otsuka’s Abilify Asimtufii and Teva’s Uzedy, along with the generic availability of key LAIs. Bristol Myers Squibb’s novel drug, Cobenfy, was launched in late 2024 in the United States, and its anticipated approval in other countries will further strengthen its market presence. However, following the failure of Boehringer Ingelheim’s iclepertin in Phase 3 trials, a significant unmet need remains for effective treatments targeting the cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia. As the market continues to evolve with newer brands competing with existing drugs, a comprehensive understanding of the schizophrenia landscape is essential for identifying future opportunities.
