Key Takeaways
- 30% of people with Parkinson’s disease have hallucinations or delusions (estimate of neuropsychiatric symptoms prevalence)
- 3.0% prevalence of Parkinson’s disease among people aged 65+ in the United States (population-based estimate)
- 0.6% of people aged 65+ in Asia have Parkinson’s disease (estimated prevalence)
- From 2021 to 2031, the Parkinson’s disease therapeutics market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% (growth rate forecast)
- The deep brain stimulation market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2033 (growth forecast)
- The PD wearables segment is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2024 to 2030 (growth forecast)
- In the US, Parkinson’s disease results in $211 per patient per month in out-of-pocket spending (economic estimate)
- Hospitalizations account for $1.6 billion in annual costs related to Parkinson’s disease in the United States (cost component estimate)
- A 2016 estimate for the United States placed total healthcare costs for Parkinson’s disease at about $25.0 billion (national cost estimate)
- In the US, 48% of Parkinson’s disease patients received at least one neurologist visit in a year (utilization rate estimate)
- In a 2020 US study, 61% of Parkinson’s disease patients reported difficulty accessing neurologists (access barrier survey metric)
- A 2021 systematic review found remote monitoring interventions reduced hospitalizations by 27% in neurological cohorts (trend indicating digital care impact)
- A study reported that 23% of people with Parkinson’s disease experience falls every month (falls frequency metric)
- In a systematic review, the average incidence of falls in Parkinson’s disease was 0.7 falls per person-year (falls incidence metric)
- In clinical trials, DBS improved UPDRS motor scores by about 2–3 points at 6 months vs baseline (motor performance metric)
Nearly one in three people with Parkinson’s experience neuropsychiatric symptoms, underscoring the need for holistic care.

How We Rate Confidence
Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
Only one AI model returns this statistic from its training data. The figure comes from a single primary source and has not been corroborated by independent systems. Use with caution; cross-reference before citing.
AI consensus: 1 of 4 models agree
Multiple AI models cite this figure or figures in the same direction, but with minor variance. The trend and magnitude are reliable; the precise decimal may differ by source. Suitable for directional analysis.
AI consensus: 2–3 of 4 models broadly agree
All AI models independently return the same statistic, unprompted. This level of cross-model agreement indicates the figure is robustly established in published literature and suitable for citation.
AI consensus: 4 of 4 models fully agree
