According to MRFR analysis, the global migraine drugs market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025 and was valued at USD 4.4 billion in 2018.

Migraine is a common neurovascular sickness that is characterized by tender headaches and is commonly associated with other neurological indications, such as nausea, vomiting, and painful sensitivity to lights and sounds. Migraine is more common in women than men, majorly due to the fluctuations in the hormone levels. Approximately 12% of the US population suffered from migraine headaches in 2018. The treatment of migraine headaches is eased by the administration of preventive medications, to avoid migraine attacks and abortive medications to relieve strong and periodic pain.

The growth of the global migraine drugs market is driven by various factors such as an increasing global geriatric population, rising prevalence of migraine, growing awareness about migraine in developing economies, rising R&D investment for the development of innovative drugs for the treatment of migraine, and increasing demand for better treatment methods for migraine. However, stringent government regulations, high investment required for drug research & development, and side-effects of medications prescribed for migraine are the factors that are expected to limit the growth of the global migraine drugs market during the forecast period.
