Summary
GBI Research has released its pharma research, 'Epilepsy Therapeutics in Major Developed Markets to 2019 - New AEDs with Novel Mechanisms of Action Signal a Shift in Treatment Patterns', which provides in-depth analysis of epilepsy market within the eight major developed markets of the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and Canada. The report provides an estimation of the market size for 2012, along with market forecasts to 2019. It also covers disease epidemiology, treatment algorithms, treatment patterns, in-depth analysis of the pipeline, and deal analysis.
The value of the epilepsy market in the major developed markets amounted to an estimated $3.4 billion in 2012 and is expected to register a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.9% to reach $4.5 billion by 2019. This modest growth is attributed to the recent approval of drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are expected to offer more therapeutic options to prescribers. The US takes major share of 55% of the global epilepsy market. In the US, three new anti-epileptic drugs have been approved since 2012: Trobalt, Aptiom, and Fycompa and another, brivaracetam, is expected also to be launched during the forecast period. Of these, Trobalt and Fycompa have novel mechanisms of action and improved safety and tolerability that elicited significant interest from prescribers. Continued uptake of second- and third-generation anti-epileptic drugs is also expected to contribute towards revenues in these eight regions. However, the epilepsy market could face the restricting influence of generic competition as a result of recent patent expiries in all major markets of two key branded drugs, Keppra and Lamictal.
