Epilepsy Drugs Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Incidence of Epilepsy Cases Accelerate Demand for Antiepileptic Drugs to Favor Market

According to the WHO 2024 published report, around 50 million people globally have epilepsy, making it the most common neurological disease—the rising incidence of epilepsy results in a considerable burden of healthcare costs worldwide. For example, it has been estimated that the 6 million people with active epilepsy cost over US$21.5 billion annually, and despite this, very few European countries have national plans to manage epilepsy disorder. Therefore, demand for antiepileptic drugs is high in demand to prevent seizures. For example, upto 70% of people living with epilepsy could become seizure free with appropiate use of antiseizures medicines as per the WHO report. Furthermore, rising prevalence of epilepsy cases accelerate demand for antiepileptic drugs are the major drivers of global epilepsy drugs market share.

Rising Clinical Trials for Epilepsy Drugs Provide Lucrative Market Opportunity

For example, Équilibre Biopharmaceuticals’s "EQU-001" witness "Phase Transition Success Rate (PTSR)" as the company reported Phase 2 results for anti-epileptic drugs. Additionally, the SANAD clinical trial was design to identofy the most effective and cost-effective treatments for patients with epilepsy. Previosuly "Valproate" was approved to control the seizures and was more efficacious over "Lamotrigine" and was the first drug choice for many patients suffering from generalized and unclassified epilepsies. However, due to adverse effects of valproate during pregnancy the physicians stop prescribing the drug. Further, the Lamotrigine through clinical trials was clinially proven better than valproate with cost effective alternative for patients diagnosed with partial onset seizures. Further, in 2024, the results from the clinical trial SANAD-2 are yet to be announced for new antiepileptic drugs. Therefore, rising clinical trials for development of new antiepileptic drugs is seen to leave a positive impact on the market, as it has an opportunity for innovative drugs.
