The prevalence of ADHD in children has been linked to reduced health and well-being for patients and their families. As a common neurological developmental disorder, ADHD is increasingly recognized in adolescents, adults, and children. According to a study published in the Italian Journal of Pediatrics in 2023, the global prevalence of ADHD in children aged 3 to 12 years is 7.6%, while it is 5.6% for those aged 12 to 18 years. The Forbes Health Report of 2023 indicates that approximately 129 million adolescents and children between 5 to 19 years old are living with ADHD. Consequently, the rising prevalence of ADHD is expected to drive the demand for medications used in its treatment.

The growing awareness of ADHD among patients, healthcare professionals, and other medical practitioners is expected to stimulate the diagnosis and treatment of the condition, propelling market growth. Enhanced understanding of ADHD is expected to contribute to improved academic outcomes for students affected by the disorder. In an effort to advance treatment quality for children with ADHD, the National Institute for Children's Health Quality has implemented a collaborative model in partnership with children and adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

In addition to the efforts of the National Institute for Children's Health Quality, organizations such as the ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO), Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA), and CHADD are proactively working to raise awareness about ADHD and available treatment options globally through various campaigns. For instance, in 2022, these organizations organized a program called "Reframing ADHD: Discovering New Perspectives," that aimed to address aspects including ADHD relationships and communications, diagnosis in children and adults, treatment plans, and co-occurring situations.

October is recognized worldwide as ADHD Awareness Month, dedicated to increasing understanding and educating people about ADHD. According to CHADD, the healthcare costs associated with treating ADHD in adults aged 18 to 64 range from USD 137 to USD 4,100 per person annually. Consequently, the growing financial burden has led to a heightened need for evaluating efficient, low-cost treatment options for ADHD that significantly contribute to market growth.
