The epilepsy drugs market was valued at USD 8193.5 million in 2023, driven by the rising prevalence of epilepsy and neurological disorders across the 8 major markets. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.40% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to attain USD 12025.78 million by 2032.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures, affecting millions globally. The epilepsy drugs market is driven by the increasing prevalence of epilepsy, due to which the need for the development of innovative antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) by pharmaceutical companies has heightened. The market is fuelled by the escalating advancements in personalised medicine and diagnostic technologies. The rising efforts to increase awareness among people about the available treatments are also contributing to the market growth. With expanding healthcare infrastructure in developing regions, the epilepsy drugs market is poised for substantial growth.
Regulatory Approvals Marking Significant Milestones in Epilepsy Treatment
In January 2024, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved Fycompa® (perampanel), the injection form of an antiepileptic drug (AED) in Japan. The drug is an internally developed product of Eisai Co., Ltd and has been approved particularly as an alternative during situations when oral administration is temporarily impossible. Fycompa, an innovative AED discovered at Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories. It acts as a highly selective, noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonist, aiming to mitigate neuronal hyper-excitation associated with seizures by modulating glutamate activity.
This injection offers continuity in epilepsy patients by addressing concerns of interrupted treatment during situations like surgeries. Being the sole AMPA receptor antagonist-based AED, this expansion of Fycompa’s administration route facilitates patients who are unable to use oral medication temporarily. The major focus of Eisai Co., Ltd has always been neurology, and epilepsy in particular. This development aligns with the company’s vision to enhance the quality of life for epilepsy patients. Such innovative drug developments and expanded treatment options are poised to drive the market growth, meeting the diverse needs of patients worldwide and potentially driving market expansion in the forecast period.
Surge in Drug Development Initiatives to Meet Rising the Epilepsy Drugs Market Demand
In October 2023, a groundbreaking study discovered the efficacy of an investigational medication, XEN1101, in significantly reducing seizure frequency. The medication demonstrated a reduction of more than 50 percent in some patients and even eliminated seizures overall in some patients, which is a significant advancement in epilepsy treatment. The positive findings from the phase 2b clinical trial conducted at NYU Grossman School of Medicine underscore XEN1101's potential as a swift, safe, and effective adjunctive therapy for focal epilepsy.
As XEN1101 offers a novel mechanism of action as a potassium-channel opener, it represents a significant breakthrough in epilepsy drug development. These promising results are poised to drive substantial growth in the market as patients and healthcare providers increasingly embrace this innovative treatment option. Such advancements also contribute to expanding pharmaceutical companies' market opportunities and fostering advancements in epilepsy care worldwide, fuelling the market growth.
Key Trends | Impact |
Increasing Prevalence of the Condition | The rising prevalence of neurological disorders including epilepsy is contributing to the growth of the global epilepsy drug market. |
Advancement in Drug Development | Pharmaceutical companies continue to invest in research and development in order to introduce new and improved antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Such advancements are poised to boost market growth. These drugs aim to provide better efficacy, fewer side effects, and improved patient compliance compared to traditional treatments. |
Demand for Generic Drugs | The significant presence of generic drugs and latest patent expirations drive the market growth. Patent expirations of several blockbuster AEDs have led to the entry of generic versions, driving competition and increased cost-effectiveness. |
Rising Awareness Around the Condition | Increasing efforts to raise awareness about epilepsy and reduce the stigma associated with the condition are encouraging more individuals to seek diagnosis and treatment. This heightened awareness contributes to market growth. |
