Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Acute Repetitive Seizures Market size is estimated at USD 3.84 billion in 2024 and is poised to reach USD 13.81 billion by the end of 2037, growing at around 15.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of acute repetitive seizures is evaluated at USD 4 billion.

The primary growth driver of the acute repetitive seizures (ARS) or cluster seizures is the increasing incidence of epilepsy and related neurological disorders, leading to a heightened demand for effective treatments and management strategies. This demand spurs advancements in drug development, medical devices, and diagnostic tools tailored to managing acute repetitive seizures, thereby expanding the acute repetitive seizures market. For instance, according to a 2021 study published by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), epilepsy affects 0.5-1% of the global population, corresponding approximately to 70 million people. It may be genetic in nature (idiopathic) or develop after brain damage, such as trauma, stroke, infection, tumor growth, or other structural or metabolic causes.

Additionally, the growing adoption of personalized medicine and improved access to healthcare services contribute to the acute repetitive seizures market expansion. Countries investing in healthcare infrastructure, such as the construction of new hospitals and clinics, increase the availability of specialized care for epilepsy and seizure disorders. Moreover, advances in telemedicine have made it easier for patients in remote or underserved areas to access specialist care.

Acute Repetitive Seizures Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Increased awareness and early diagnosis: Increased awareness drives the establishment and expansion of specialized epilepsy and neurology clinics. These centers focus on diagnosing and treating seizure disorders, leading to increased acute repetitive seizures market opportunities for products and services related to acute repetitive seizures. Campaigns such as the Global Campaign Against Epilepsy (GCAE) and initiatives by organizations such as the Epilepsy Foundation increase public awareness about seizures, leading to people seeking medical advice and early diagnosis.

    Early diagnosis can significantly improve patient outcomes by initiating treatment before seizures get severe or frequent. This, in turn, leads to a higher demand for medications and therapies tailored to acute repetitive seizures.
  • Growing venture investments in neurological research: Venture capital provides the necessary companies to develop and commercialize new treatments for ARS. This includes research into novel pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and digital health solutions. Moreover, venture capital investments often support the extensive clinical trials needed to bring new ARS treatment to acute repetitive seizures market. This accelerates the development timeline and enhances the likelihood of successful product launches. For instance, U.S. venture investments are crucial in advancing the field of neurology and expanding the acute repetitive seizures market by supporting innovation, enhancing technology, and accelerating the development of new therapies. In 2023, venture investments in neurology companies in the U.S. totaled USD 1.2 billion.
     
  • Rising healthcare expenditure: Increased expenditure often results in better patient support programs, educational initiatives, and resources to help manage and understand acute repetitive seizures. This leads to better patient outcomes and adherence to treatment. For instance, according to the World Bank Group, the global health expenditure was 10.87% in 2020 as compared to 9.81 in 2019.

    Moreover, rising healthcare spending can lead to more comprehensive insurance plans that cover a broader range of treatments and services for acute repetitive seizures. Insurance plans that cover consultations with neurologists or access to epilepsy centers support the use of comprehensive care models.

Challenges

  • Patient adherence: Poor adherence to prescribed therapies can lead to suboptimal treatment outcomes, affecting the perceived efficacy of medications and potentially limiting market growth. Non-adherence often results in more frequent seizures, which can increase emergency visits, hospitalizations, and overall healthcare costs, impacting the overall acute repetitive seizures market dynamics.
  • Regulatory challenges: Regulatory approval for new treatments can be time-consuming, involving extensive clinical trials and data requirements. Regulatory bodies impose rigorous standards for demonstrating the safety and efficacy of new treatments. Moreover, regulatory authorities often require extensive post-marketing surveillance to monitor long-term safety and effectiveness, which can add additional costs and regulatory challenges

Acute Repetitive Seizures Segmentation

 Product Type (NRL-1, USL-261, AZ-002, and Diastat Rectal Gel)

The USL-261 segment is estimated to dominate the acute repetitive seizures market with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The FDA-approved USL-261 (instranasal midazolam) is a rescue therapy for acute treatment of intermittent, stereotypic episodes of frequent seizure activity. It can be used to treat seizure clusters, bouts of increased seizures, or acute repetitive seizures. The drug has become an effective and promising alternative to conventional routes. For instance, according to a 2023 study published by the National Library of Medicine stated that more than 50% of patients responded to the first dose of midazolam and did not experience another seizure with 24 hours after the first. Moreover, no serious adverse events were reported by the patients, making midazolam a relatively safe and well-tolerated option.

USI-261 offers a unique approach or mechanism of action compared to existing treatments, which provide more effective or targeted relief for ARS.  By addressing specific unmet needs or offering advantages over existing therapies, USI-261 can differentiate itself in the competitive acute repetitive seizures market, potentially capturing a significant segment.
