Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that affects people of all ages globally. However, it is more prevalent in children as almost 70% of epilepsy cases are diagnosed before reaching adulthood. Anti-epileptic drugs play a crucial role in managing seizures and improving quality of life for pediatric patients suffering from epilepsy. These medications work by controlling abnormal neuronal firing and synchrony in the brain to prevent seizures. In recent years, extensive research has led to the development and approval of newer generation anti-epileptic drugs that are more effective and have less side effects than the earlier drugs for pediatric use. This has positively impacted medication adherence and treatment outcomes for children with epilepsy. Pediatric epilepsy can be caused due to a trauma injury, complications during birth, or genetic disorder. Epilepsy that occurs due to brain infections such as meningitis is known as symptomatic epilepsy, while a genetics related condition is called idiopathic epilepsy.

Market Dynamics

The global anti-epileptic drugs for pediatrics market is driven by the growing prevalence of epilepsy among children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), epilepsy affects around 1% of children worldwide. Besides this, factors such as increasing healthcare expenditures, rising awareness about epilepsy treatment, and introduction of newer anti-epileptic drugs are fueling the market growth. However, the market faces certain restraints such as high costs associated with drug development and stringent regulations for the approval of pediatric drugs. Moreover, adverse effects of anti-epileptic drugs on developing neurological system of children poses challenges. On the positive side, ongoing research on disease modifying therapies and development of personalized anti-epileptic drug regimens present notable opportunities for market players in the future.
