Based on the product type, the report categorizes the epilepsy therapeutic market in APAC into the following segments:
- First-generation epilepsy therapeutics
- Second-generation epilepsy therapeutics
- Third-generation epilepsy therapeutics
First-generation epilepsy therapeutics
“First-generation epilepsy therapeutics occupied more than 45% of the market in APAC, establishing itself as the dominant product. The first-generation antiepileptic drugs include benzodiazepines, carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproic acid, and phenobarbital,” says Sapna Jha, a lead analyst at Technavio for central nervous system research.
The high market share of the first-generation antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is due to its established adoption among end-users owing to the first mover advantage in the market. However, the AEDs usually require close monitoring and may lead to life-threatening reactions, which is expected to lead to the eventual decline of the product segment.
Second-generation epilepsy therapeutics
The second-generation AEDs include drugs such as zonisamide, topiramate, gabapentin, pregabalin, felbamate, tiagabine, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam. The second-generation AEDs provide advantages such as simpler pharmacokinetic profiles, which will lead to a quick rise in their adoption over the coming years.
The market segment is boosted by the increasing availability of drugs with better safety and tolerability profile when compared to its predecessors. Additionally, the developed infrastructure in Japan and Australia coupled with the presence of major players such as Eisai, Daiichi Sankyo, and UCB are likely to drive the market growth further.
Third-generation epilepsy therapeutics
The third-generation AEDs include lacosamide, retigabine, and pregabalin. The third generation AEDs are intended to treat individuals who do not respond well to the previous generation of drugs. These drugs provide a better pharmacokinetic profile and less severe side effects.
“The third-generation epilepsy therapeutics market in APAC is expected to showcase a CAGR of nearly 7% through the forecast period, due to increasing partnership among established vendors to develop and market these drugs. The continuous efforts of vendors to satisfy the unmet need for disease-modifying drugs will also impact the market growth,” says Sapna.
