The growth of the market is attributed to the high prevalence of patients across the world, increasing research of novel drugs, and rising awareness of the diseases around the globe.
Anticonvulsants drugs, also called as antiseizure or antiepileptic drugs, are types of medications used for the treatment based on symptoms of epileptic seizures. The epileptic seizures happen due to incorrect signal from the nerve cells to the brain or disturbance in the electrical activity of the brain, which results in recurring episodes.
Epilepsy can occur to people of different age groups due to some of these factors such as drug abuse and alcohol misuse, brain cancer, brain injury, and stroke.
The symptoms demonstrated by the patient before convulsions include nausea, strange feelings, visual loss, headache, numbness in the body parts, and the racing thoughts. Anticonvulsants drugs are also used as mood stabilizers as well as for the cure of neuropathic pain or bipolar disorders.
The anticonvulsant drugs work by controlling neuronal excitability through different molecular targets present at the synapse, such as glutamate receptors, voltage-gated ion channels, and voltage-gated GABA receptors. Orthodox antiepileptic drugs augment γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) function or blocks sodium channels. Various antiepileptic drugs work on different or uncertain mechanisms of the action.
Some of the main anticonvulsant drugs in the market which are also used for pain management include depakote (divalproex), lyrica (pregabalin), topamax (topiramate), neurontin (gabapentin), and carbatrol/tegretol (carbamazepine).

Based on products, the global anticonvulsants market is divided into barbiturates, aldehydes, triazines, benzodiazepines, aromatic allylic alcohols, bromides, carbamates, sulfonamides, pyrimidinediones, carboxamides, pyrrolidines, fatty acids, oxazolidinediones, urea’s, gaba analogs, propionates, fructose derivatives, hydantoins, valproylamides, and others.
The barbiturates segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the projected period owing to its high effectiveness and safety along with better tolerability. It is the first choice drug for the epilepsy patients and shows good effects against epilepsy.
The hydantoins segment, meanwhile, is anticipated to account for a considerable market share in the near future as they are modern anticonvulsants drugs and offer safety. Thus, the drugs are widely recommended by the healthcare professionals, which further boosts the segment growth.
On the basis of applications, the market is categorized as epilepsy, fibromyalgia, migraine, neuropathic pain, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder.
The epilepsy segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to the large number of incidence of the disease and growing demand for effective drugs for the treatment from the patients. Additionally, increased awareness about the disease and development of novel drugs are boosting the market segment.
However, the neuropathic pain segment is expected to exhibit a robust growth rate during the targeted period due to the rising number of patients suffering from the disease and wide availability of the drugs for the disease treatment.
Based on end-users, the global anticonvulsants market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical clinics. The clinics segment is anticipated to grow at a significant rate in the coming years owing to large preference of patients towards clinics due to easy accessibility at low cost and expansion of specialized clinics for the particular disease treatment.
The patients can visit the clinics easily and get consultation of the doctor without going through the long process that are associated with patients’ visiting at the hospitals.
