Stimulants, amphetamines and methylphenidates are the first-line treatment for moderate to severe attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across the seven major markets (7MM), notes GlobalData in a forecast on the future of the field.

This creates a demand for non-stimulants with stimulant comparable efficacy in the ADHD space in 7MM, says GlobalData.
