INTRODUCTION 

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 
BCC’s goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of the Alzheimer’s disease treatments and diagnostics and assess the growth potential of this area over a 5-year period from 2009 to 2014. 
Our key objective was to present a comprehensive analysis of the current pipeline of therapeutic and diagnostic technologies, analyze the market and forecast for Alzheimer’s therapeutics and diagnostics, along with outlining the key factors that will influence this therapeutic area in the next few years. 
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
 
Alzheimer’s disease is becoming an increasingly difficult challenge to caregivers, families and the healthcare industry as the number of patients climb and the frustration with lack of effective treatments grows. Though there are a number of marketed drugs approved for AD, this remains a significant area of unmet medical need. Clinical success has proven elusive; however, there are now numerous companies developing novel treatments. This report will review the programs in development and quantify the market opportunities in AD. This study aims to quantify where this market is heading and where the opportunities may lie.
