The increasing prevalence of epilepsy is expected to propel the growth of the epileptic seizures treatment market. Epilepsy is a disorder that causes recurrent seizures due to abnormal brain activity. The rising number of epilepsy cases is linked to an aging population and better survival rates of brain injury victims. Epileptic seizure treatments, mainly AEDs, help stabilize neuronal activity and reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that around 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy, and this growing prevalence is driving the market for epileptic seizures treatments.
