DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v7xkm4/pharmapoint) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "PharmaPoint: Epilepsy - Germany Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" to their offering.
GlobalData has released its new Country report, PharmaPoint: Epilepsy - Germany Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022. Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by spontaneously occurring and recurrent seizures. The market is heavily driven by the sales of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) targeted at seizure reduction. The AED market is currently dominated by UCB's Keppra and GlaxoSmithKline's Lamictal.
Although both drugs have experienced significant generic erosion, they form the mainstay of epilepsy treatment in the nine markets and will continue to have significant market share during the forecast period. Other key drugs include older generation AEDs such as Pfizer's Dilantin, Abbott's Depakote, and Novartis' Tegretol and Trileptal which still have significant usage due to their longevity in the market. However, the AED dominance landscape will continue to shift towards newer generation drugs particularly following the recent market entry of GlaxoSmithKline's Trobalt/Potiga and Eisai's Fycompa which both offer first-in-class mechanisms of action.
The main factor for the decline in this market is the launch of generics and the high rate of generic substitution in Germany. In addition, strict government pricing restrictions will limit the the pricing and penetration of new AEDs and will hamper the growth of the market in Germany.
