The growing number of pipeline studies for memantine use is likely to drive the memantine industry forward. For example, in September 2016, Lille University Hospital began a phase I clinical research to examine the effects of memantine on cognitive behaviour in Alzheimer's disease patients. The investigation is expected to be finished by February 2019. The growing number of medication patents that have expired is a key impediment to the worldwide memantine market's growth. Because of the rising number of generic versions of memantine on the market, North America is likely to keep a dominating position in the global memantine market. Furthermore, due to major companies' increased focus on producing memantine tablets, Asia Pacific is likely to exhibit considerable development in the Global Memantine Market.
