Segments - Acute Repetitive Seizures Market by Products (USL-261, NRL-1, AZ-002, and Diastat Rectal Gel) and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028
The global acute repetitive seizures market size is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the unmet clinical needs for patients and caregivers as well as the availability of an advanced product pipeline.
Acute repetitive seizures (ARS), also known as cluster seizures, refers to a condition of neurologic emergency due to the rapid occurrence of epilepsy type seizures. ARS is mostly a result of neuronal injury that normally requires hospitalization and constant care as it can easily turn out to be a life-threatening condition. Adoption of effective health management and appropriate treatment are often recommended by doctors to prevent from dire consequence of patients.
In general, ARS is quite similar with epilepsy, which is a brain disorder characterized by constant seizures due to imbalanced electrical rhythms of the brain. As a consequence of this imbalanced outburst of brain’s electric energy, the consciousness, sensation, and behaviour of patients are completely disturbed. Thus, normal movements of patients are seriously affected due to this disorder.
With the wide prevalence of the disorder, the demand for effective treatment method and techniques is rising rapidly across the globe. However, the treatment gap is an obvious feature that presents a key aspect of the overall market development and is a useful metric for comparing access to quality care for seizure patients. As per several reports, the treatment gap is approximately 80% in low- and middle-income countries such as India, South Africa, and Brazil, and approximately 60% in developed countries such as the US and the UK. It is widely reported in many studies that patients usually prefer the intranasal route over other types of medicine administration routes such as buccal, rectal, and intramuscular for the treatment procedures. Meanwhile, it is considered that outpatient treatment with parenteral medications has proven to be the best option. Caregivers in some countries such as the Netherlands are not qualified to administer parenteral medications.

Based on products, the acute repetitive seizures market is segregated into USL-261, NRL-1, AZ-002, and diastat rectal gel. The NRL-1 segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period as the product is widely adopted for the treatment among children and adults. NRL-1 is an investigational drug developed by Neurelis for the use in children, adolescents, and adults.
However, the USL-261 segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to unique design of product for intranasal administration for outpatient use. Meanwhile, the Diastat Rectal Gel segment held a key market share in 2019 due to its efficacy in the treatment of the disorder. It was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as an approved medication and generic versions, which were introduced in 2010.
On the basis of regions, the market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market of Europe is anticipated to dominate the market by expanding at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to advancements in scientific, clinical, and medical technology adopted in the treatment centers in the region. Rising disease prevalence in the region and growing government initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life, and raising awareness about the disease are the primary drivers of the market growth in this region.
However, the market of Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit a rapid growth rate in the coming years owing to rising healthcare spending in developing countries such as India and China along with a significant gap in the management of ARS cases. As a result, the demand for anti-seizure medications in these emerging economies are boosting significantly away from the already saturated European and North American markets.
