Epilepsy Surgery Market Trends

• Increasing prevalence and Use of Advanced Imaging Technology to propel market growth

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological illnesses worldwide, with an estimated 50 million individuals suffering from it, according to the WHO's fact sheets for 2019. People with epilepsy make up over 80% of the population in low- and middle-income nations. According to estimates, 70% of people with epilepsy might avoid seizures if their condition is adequately identified and treated. After a stroke, migraines, and Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy is the fourth most prevalent neurological condition. The US population's prevalence of active epilepsy was estimated at 1.2% (3.4 million) in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At the University of Gondar Referral Hospital in Ethiopia, adult epileptic patients were evaluated in a research study published in 2018 on Sage Open Medicine. Seventy-nine adverse drug reactions were recorded, including exhaustion and gastrointestinal problems. Anticonvulsants, often antiepileptic medications, are a broad category of pharmaceuticals used to treat epileptic seizures.

Moreover, the growth in accidents and brain injuries, as well as the high rates of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) and post-traumatic seizure (PTS) incidence in patients with brain injuries, are the main factors propelling the epilepsy surgery industry. Thus, this factor is driving the Epilepsy Surgery market CAGR.

The epilepsy surgery market is being supported by the rising deployment of helper robots for precise and effective surgical planning & navigation. Due to much-reduced complication rates, better patient outcomes, and shorter operation times, patients choose minimally invasive epilepsy surgery. To treat epileptic diseases, epilepsy surgery involves stereo electroencephalography (SEEG), biopsy, thermal ablation of seizure foci or tumors, and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Additionally, computer-guided robotic arms derived from the automobile sector for neurosurgery applications were used before specialized stereotactic frameworks. To create a basic strategy for SEEG, neurologists and neurosurgeons work together under the direction of a noninvasive presurgical epilepsy workup. More than 150 recording locations may be available from a conventional montage of 10 electrodes. There have been few reports of robotic stereotactic aid in pediatric neurosurgery. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate the Epilepsy Surgery market revenue ly.

Epilepsy Surgery Market Segment Insights

Epilepsy Surgery Procedure Type Insights

The Epilepsy Surgery market segmentation, based on Procedure type, includes Resective Surgery and Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)). The Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)segment held the majority share in 2022 in the Epilepsy Surgery market data. A minimally invasive method called LITT (Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy) is used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy and seizures that don't respond to medication. Some persons with focal seizures—seizures that start in only one spot on the brain—may benefit from LITT. Three to four hours are typically needed for the LITT treatment. The advent of MRI-guided LITT devices has made it possible to ablate neurological soft tissue.

Epilepsy Surgery End-user Insights

The Epilepsy Surgery market segmentation, based on End-user, includes Hospitals & Clinics and Specialty Centers. The Hospitals & Clinics segment dominated the market growth in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2024-2032. This rise is mostly attributable to an increase in the number of persons getting epilepsy surgery and acquiring an epilepsy diagnosis. Because hospitals offer comprehensive and cutting-edge therapies, many choose to receive their care there. Patients with epilepsy are treated at clinics and other medical care facilities.

Epilepsy Surgery Regional Insights

By region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. The North America Epilepsy Surgery market accounted for USD 0.50 billion in 2022 with a share of around 45.80% and is expected to exhibit a significant CAGR growth during the study period. Due to various elements, including the availability of well-established healthcare facilities, the high prevalence of neurological illnesses, and the rising incidence of epilepsy, the Americas dominated the epilepsy surgery market. The US. and Canada are the major countries of North America. A central nervous system (CNS) illness, which produces seizures and is the fourth most prevalent neurological disease, is believed to affect approximately 150,000 Americans. The incidence rate is also highest in small children under two and individuals aged 65 and over. Epilepsy is becoming more common in the Americas. Seizures afflict around 300,000 Canadians, and one in every 2,000 persons is diagnosed with epilepsy yearly. In the Canadian population, neurological illnesses are also among the top causes of disability.

Further, the major countries studied in the Epilepsy Surgery market report are The U.S., Canada, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
