Partial Epilepsy Market

 Market Overview:

The 7 major partial epilepsy markets are expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.8% during 2025-2035.

The partial epilepsy market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Partial Epilepsy Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025-2035". Partial epilepsy, also known as focal epilepsy, is a type of epilepsy in which seizures begin in a specific area or focus of the brain rather than diffusely across the entire brain. The symptoms associated with the ailment vary depending on the location of the seizure focus. Simple partial seizures may cause sensory disturbances (such as tingling or numbness), visual or auditory hallucinations, altered taste or smell, involuntary movements, intense emotions, etc. Complex partial seizures often involve confusion, unresponsiveness, repetitive motions, post-seizure disorientation, etc. The diagnostic process typically begins with a detailed medical history, including a description of the seizure episodes and any associated symptoms or triggers. The primary diagnostic tool used is an electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain and can detect abnormalities indicative of seizures. Additionally, numerous imaging studies, such as MRI and CT scans, are often utilized to identify any structural defects in the brain, like tumors, vascular malformations, signs of past brain injury, etc., that might be the underlying cause of seizures. Various other procedures, including neuropsychological assessments and blood tests, may be conducted to rule out conditions that could induce similar symptoms.

The increasing cases of head injuries, such as those caused by trauma, accidents, falls, etc., that disrupt normal brain functioning are primarily driving the partial epilepsy market. In addition to this, the rising prevalence of various associated risk factors, including certain developmental disorders like neurofibromatosis, structural abnormalities in the brain, hormonal changes, etc., is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of antiepileptic drugs, such as carbamazepine, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, etc., for stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain and reducing the likelihood of seizures is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating application of responsive neurostimulation, which involves the implantation of a device directly into the brain to deliver electrical stimulation when unusual activity is detected, thereby helping to disrupt seizures before they occur, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the emerging popularity of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), since they aid in modulating brain activity and improving overall seizure control, is expected to drive the partial epilepsy market during the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

• In December 2024, SK Biopharmaceuticals presented positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for Cenobamate in patients with epilepsy from Northeast Asia at the 2024 American Epilepsy Society (AES) Annual Meeting, Los Angeles, USA. These encouraging results pave the way for the company's partners in Asia to start making NDA submissions in their markets. The positive clinical outcomes also point to the efficacy and safety of Cenobamate in treating epilepsy patients, especially in Japan, where the drug is slowly becoming a promising option for partial-onset seizure management. With these positive results, SK Biopharmaceuticals will look to expand the availability of Cenobamate across Northeast Asia, including further distribution in Japan.

Key Highlights:

• According to the World Health Organization, epilepsy affects around 50 million people across the globe, making it one of the most common neurological illnesses.
• Epilepsy characterized by partial seizures represented 20% to 66% of all epilepsies.
• Simple partial seizures affect 6 to 12% of epilepsy patients, whereas complex partial seizures occur in about 36% of individuals suffering from epilepsy.
• The most common type of partial epilepsy in children is benign partial epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, which occurs between the ages of 5 and 10.
• In the United States, the incidence of all partial seizures for persons aged one to 65 years is around 20 cases per 100,000 population.

Drugs:

Lamictal (Lamotrigine), an anticonvulsant drug used to treat partial epilepsy. It regulates neuronal activity by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels, which reduces excessive electrical activity in the brain. To manage seizures in epileptic patients, Lamictal is recommended as monotherapy or supplementary medication.

Trileptal (Oxcarbazepine), an antiepileptic medication used to treat partial epilepsy. It works by regulating hyperactive nerve impulses in the brain via sodium channel regulation, so preventing seizures. Trileptal is used as monotherapy or supplementary medication to treat partial-onset seizures in both adults and children.

ONO-2017 (Cenobamate) is an investigational anticonvulsant medication being studied for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy. It works by modulating sodium channels and enhancing GABAergic neurotransmission to reduce seizure frequency and improve seizure control. The dual mechanism of Cenobamate helps stabilize neuronal activity and restore balance in brain excitability. This study is being conducted exclusively in Japan.
