Regional Analysis

The global epilepsy diagnosis & treatment market spans across the regions of the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. The Americas is currently dominating the global market for epilepsy diagnosis & treatment due to a robust healthcare sector, the presence of a vast patient pool, and an increase in a number of head trauma cases. Europe represents the second largest market for epilepsy diagnosis & treatment. A well-developed healthcare sector and government grants for research & development activities drive the market in Europe. Asia Pacific is projected to exhibit substantial growth over the forecast period and grow at the fastest rate. Developing healthcare sector in emerging economies and increasing prevalence of epilepsy in the region fuels the growth of the Asia Pacific market. The Middle East & Africa market accounts for a relatively lower share of the global market. Low expenditure on healthcare, lack of awareness regarding the disease, and stringent government policies, especially in the African region limit the growth of the market. The majority of the market share is held by the Middle East which can be attributed to high healthcare spending and the presence of a well-developed healthcare sector in the Gulf nations.

Industry Updates

             In September 2018, a novel computational framework was developed jointly by Imperial College London, Duke-NUS Medical School, and UCB as a part of an international collaboration to predict new drug targets for epilepsy. CRAFT or the Causal Reasoning Analytical Framework for Target discovery is a big data approach that combines gene regulatory information with causal reasoning.
