Infantile Spasm Market is expected to reach USD 590 million by 2034

Infantile spasms (IS), also known as West syndrome, is a rare but severe epileptic encephalopathy that typically presents in infants aged 3-12 months. The condition is characterized by sudden spasms, hypsarrhythmia on EEG, and developmental regression. IS has a profound long-term impact, with many children developing intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, or refractory epilepsy.

The global market is expanding due to growing awareness, improved access to diagnostics, and therapeutic innovation, including hormonal therapies, anti-seizure medications, and genetic research into underlying causes.

Market Overview
• Market Size (2024): USD 310 million
• Forecast (2034): USD 590 million
• CAGR (2025-2034): 6.6%

Growth is supported by expanded newborn epilepsy screening, pipeline therapies, and global rare disease funding.

Key Highlights:
• IS incidence estimated at 2-5 per 10,000 live births.
• Standard therapies include adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), vigabatrin, corticosteroids.
• Genetic testing increasingly identifies causes such as TSC, CDKL5 deficiency, and metabolic disorders.
• Orphan drug incentives driving R&D in rare epilepsies.

Segmentation Analysis
By Product Type:
• Pharmacological Therapies
o ACTH (gold standard)
o Vigabatrin (especially in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-related IS)
o Corticosteroids (prednisolone, dexamethasone)
o Anti-Seizure Medications (valproate, topiramate, clobazam - adjunctive)
o Pipeline Agents (gene-targeted therapies, novel ASMs)

• Non-Pharmacological Therapies
o Diet
o Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS - rare, refractory cases)
o Behavioral & Developmental Therapy

• Diagnostics
o EEG (Hypsarrhythmia detection)
o MRI & CT Imaging (structural abnormalities)
o Genetic & Metabolic Testing

By Platform:
• Small Molecules (vigabatrin, corticosteroids, ASMs)
• Biologics (ACTH, monoclonals in pipeline)
• Genetic Diagnostics
• Dietary & Device-Based Interventions

By Technology:
• Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for epilepsy gene panels
• Digital EEG Monitoring & AI Interpretation
• Gene Therapy & ASO Platforms (pipeline)

By End Use:
• Hospitals & Pediatric Neurology Clinics
• Epilepsy Specialty Centers
• Diagnostic Laboratories
• Research Institutes

By Application:
• TSC-Associated IS
• Structural Brain Malformation-Associated IS
• Genetic & Metabolic IS
• Idiopathic IS
• Clinical Research

Segmentation Summary:
ACTH and vigabatrin remain standards of care, but genetic testing and precision therapies are driving the fastest growth. The genic diet continues as an effective adjunct.
