Global Epilepsy Diagnosis & Treatment Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting the central nervous system. In this medical condition, the brain exhibits abnormal activity, which results in periods of unusual behavior or seizures and sometimes, loss of awareness. Temporary confusion, anxiety, uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs, and others are some of the common symptoms of the disease. Increasing prevalence of epilepsy is a major driver for the market. According to a report by the World Health Organization (2018), about 50 million people across the world are estimated to suffer from epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases. In addition, the report states that the total number of people aged 65 or more is projected to increase from 524 million in 2010 to approximately 1.5 billion by 2050. Increasing number of reported head trauma cases, growing geriatric population, and rising healthcare expenditures are estimated to boost the market growth. However, factors such as high cost of therapeutic surgeries, low per capita healthcare expenditure, and lack of awareness for the disease in emerging economies are estimated to restrain the market growth, during the forecast period.

The global epilepsy diagnosis and treatment market is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period.
