Global Epilepsy Drug Market 2016: Marketed Drugs, First Generation Drugs

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by sudden and recurrent episodes of seizure. It is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide, affecting people of all ages. Presently, around 50 million patients are living with Epilepsy Drug worldwide and about 2.4 million new cases are diagnosed annually. Moreover, majority of the epileptic cases are idiopathic, with no identifiable cause. At present, only symptomatic treatment through medication, surgery and implantable devices, is available, but there is no cure for epilepsy. This highlights the untapped market need for better therapeutics which would provide lucrative growth opportunities to industry players.

Rising incidence of neurological disorders, higher incidence of birth related injuries, increasing road traffic injuries, growing disease awareness and rising patient base in developing countries, are the significant factors driving the global antiepileptic drug market. Moreover, increasing R&D investment and launch of extended-release formulations are further expected to fuel the market growth. However, high cost of patented drugs and low accessibility to antiepileptic drugs in low and middle income countries, are likely to restrict the market growth.
