North America is expected to a hold dominant position in the global Dravet syndrome treatment market, owing to increasing initiatives and funding by various organizations to support the development of new treatment for Dravet syndrome. For instances, in 2017, The Dravet Syndrome Foundation—a U.S.-based non-profit organization dedicated to funding the highest caliber research on Dravet syndrome—funded a total amount of US$ 3,600,000 for the development of novel treatment methods for Dravet syndrome. In 2011, Dravet Syndrome Foundation granted an undisclosed amount to U.S.-based OPKO Health, Inc., to support the company\'s efforts to develop potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. The market in Europe is expected to exhibit significant growth in the Dravet syndrome treatment market, owing to increasing research and development activities being adopted by key players present in the region. For instance, GW Pharmaceuticals, a British biopharmaceutical company, developed Epidiolex (cannabidiol) based on an ingredient derived from marijuana. The company submitted new drug application (NDA) to the U.S. FDA for Epidiolex, in December 2017. If approved by the FDA, Epidiolex is expected to enter the market in the U.S. by mid of 2018.
