Seizures are sudden, uncontrolled electrical activities in the brain that can cause changes in movement, behavior, sensation, or awareness. They result from abnormal neuronal activity and can be triggered by conditions such as epilepsy, head injuries, infections, or other medical issues.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The primary drug types used to treat seizures are first-generation, second-generation, and third-generation anti-epileptics. First-generation anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are the initial class of medications developed for epilepsy treatment. These drugs can be administered through various routes, including oral, parenteral, and topical methods. They are distributed through multiple channels, such as hospital pharmacies, independent pharmacies, and online pharmacies, and are utilized by several end-users, including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, homecare settings, and others.
The seizures market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides seizures market statistics, including the seizures industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the seizures market share, detailed seizures market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the seizures industry. This seizures market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The seizures market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$3.20 billion in 2024 to $4.35 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of epilepsy and seizure disorders, greater awareness and higher diagnosis rates, expanding research and development efforts for neurological conditions, increased government and non-profit initiatives aimed at epilepsy awareness, and the growing geriatric population.
The seizures market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to$5.49 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding geriatric population vulnerable to neurological disorders, increased investments in R&D for seizure therapeutics, rising global healthcare expenditure, growing demand for epilepsy medications, and a higher incidence of seizure disorders. Key trends during this period include advancements in seizure detection and monitoring devices, progress in drug approvals and reimbursement processes, breakthroughs in genetic research for personalized seizure treatments, the adoption of digital health solutions for remote monitoring, and ongoing innovations in epilepsy medications.
The increasing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) is expected to drive significant growth in the seizures market. TBIs result from external forces, such as blows, jolts, or penetrating injuries to the head, and the rise in road accidents-due to high-speed collisions and distracted driving-has contributed to more severe head injuries. Seizures often serve as an early indicator of TBIs, helping doctors diagnose and manage brain damage more effectively. For example, in October 2023, a report from the South Dakota Department of Health (SDDOH) indicated that in 2022, South Dakota had the 9th highest age-adjusted TBI-related death rate in the U.S. at 26.4 per 100,000. Additionally, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons estimates that between 1.7 million and 3.8 million TBIs occur annually in the U.S. This rising prevalence of traumatic brain injuries is driving the growth of the seizures market.
Leading companies in the seizures market are focusing on innovative treatments such as buccal films to improve accessibility and patient adherence. Buccal films are thin, dissolvable strips that are administered by placing them on the inner cheek (buccal mucosa), where the drug is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. For instance, in December 2024, U.S.-based Aquestive Therapeutics Inc. received U.S. FDA approval for orphan drug exclusivity for Libervant (diazepam) buccal film. This drug is intended for pediatric patients aged two to five with seizure clusters. Libervant offers a non-invasive, easy-to-administer alternative to traditional diazepam delivery methods, ensuring faster absorption through the buccal mucosa. As the first and only orally administered diazepam film approved for this age group, Libervant aims to improve convenience for caregivers and enhance patient compliance. This approval further strengthens Aquestive's position in advancing oral film-based epilepsy therapies.
In March 2022, Belgium-based UCB Pharma acquired U.S.-based Zogenix Inc. for $1.9 billion. With this acquisition, UCB aims to expand its neurology portfolio and enhance treatment options for rare epileptic disorders such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Zogenix is known for developing therapies for rare and serious central nervous system (CNS) disorders, helping UCB strengthen its presence in the epilepsy treatment market.
