Epilepsy occurring due to brain infections such as meningitis is known as symptomatic epilepsy, while genetics related condition is called idiopathic epilepsy. The number of available antiepilepsy drugs have doubled over the past few decades and for the treatment of pediatric epilepsy, nine new drugs were launched in the last decade, as the benefits of the medicines are greater than the subsequent side-effects from the medicine. Third generation epilepsy drugs are rapidly replacing second and first generation drugs, as they are more safe and tolerable than the previous generation drugs.

Few first generation drugs are Phenytoin (Dilantin and Phenytek), Carbamazepine (Carbatrol), Valproate (Depakote), Oxycarbazepine (Trileptal), Phenobarbital (Luminal), Primidone (Mysoline); and second generation drugs are Lamotrigine (Lamictal), Pregabalin (Lyrica), Lacosamide (Vimpat), and Rufinamide (Banzel/Inovelon). The newer drugs have better efficacy, with much better pharmacokinetic profiles and fewer drug interactions than the classic first generation drugs. For instance, the third generation drugs, UCB’s Keppra (levetiracetam) and GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK’s) Lamictal (lamotrigine) have rapidly become the commonly used drugs for first-line treatments.

Factors such as rising prevalence of epilepsy and robust pipeline are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. According to the study by Epilepsy Action Australia statistics in 2017, around 50 million people globally have epilepsy with around 80% of the people living in emerging economies such as India, Brazil, and China. Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017, an estimated 3.4 million people have active epilepsy in the U.S., which includes 3 million adults and 470,000 children. Manufacturers have potential drug molecules in the pipeline for the treatment of various forms of epilepsy. For instance, SK Life Sciences, Inc. has Cenobamate (YKP3089) in Phase 3 clinical trials. Eisai, Co., Ltd. has the drug Perampanel in Phase 2 clinical trials, and Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has the drug Ganaxolone in Phase II clinical trials.

Mylan launched generic Felbatol tablets in the U.S. after receiving approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2016. These factors are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
