Epilepsy Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034


The 7 major epilepsy markets reached a value of US$ 2.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 2.5 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.35% during 2024-2034.

The epilepsy market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Epilepsy Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Epilepsy is a neurological condition distinguished by recurrent seizures, which are sudden and uncontrolled bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures are brief periods of uncontrollable movement involving a portion of the body (partial) or the entire body (generalized) and are occasionally followed by loss of awareness and control of bowel or bladder function. Symptoms of epilepsy can vary widely, but common ones include convulsions, loss of consciousness, and muscle spasms. Epilepsy is often diagnosed through a medical history review, physical examination, imaging tests, and diagnostic testing, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG). Diagnosis of epilepsy may also entail ruling out other illnesses that may cause seizures. Treatment for epilepsy typically consists of a combination of medications and lifestyle changes.

The rising prevalence of several associated risk factors, including neurological disorders, birth-related injuries, infections, substance abuse, road accidents, etc., is primarily driving the global epilepsy market. In addition to this, the expanding geriatric population, who are more prone to developing age-related conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, that can increase the risk of epilepsy, is also augmenting the market growth. Moreover, the widespread adoption of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for treating epilepsy, which stabilize the electrical activity in the brain and prevent seizures, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) devices to help reduce the frequency of seizures is further acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. The device can be programmed to deliver stimulation at specific times and intensities, and can be adjusted as needed. Additionally, the ongoing development of extended-release (ER) drug formulations that allow longer dosing intervals while minimizing the fluctuations in serum drug levels, thus improving efficacy as compared to immediate-release (IR) drugs, is also propelling the global market. Besides this, the implementation of numerous government initiatives to raise awareness about the ailment, promote research, and offer active assistance by expediting the development of better treatment options is further augmenting the market growth. Additionally, several key players are making significant investments in R&D activities aimed at introducing novel medications that are less expensive, more effective, and have fewer adverse effects. This, in turn, is expected to drive the global epilepsy market in the coming years.

IMARC Group's new report provides an exhaustive analysis of the epilepsy market in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and United Kingdom) and Japan. This includes treatment practices, in-market, and pipeline drugs, share of individual therapies, market performance across the seven major markets, market performance of key companies and their drugs, etc. The report also provides the current and future patient pool across the seven major markets. According to the report the United States has the largest patient pool for epilepsy and also represents the largest market for its treatment. Furthermore, the current treatment practice/algorithm, market drivers, challenges, opportunities, reimbursement scenario and unmet medical needs, etc. have also been provided in the report. This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the epilepsy market in any manner.
