The global gabapentin market is a substantial part of the global neurological and pain management pharmaceuticals market.

Market Dynamics
The global gabapentin market is driven by soaring incidence of neurological and chronic pain conditions with many countries witnessing sharp ascent in the incidence of epilepsy and various forms of neuropathic pains beckoning the need for more effective treatments. The aging population and the high incidence of elderly suffering from diabetic neuropathy and post-herpetic neuralgias are also contributing to the growth of certain specific markets. Furthermore, the off-label uses of gabapentin in anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and sleep disorder is also helping to propel the growth of various markets. Increasing recognition of the role of drugs in pain management is further fueling the growth of these markets.
However, a number of constraints are present in the market, such as generic competition becoming intense after patents expire, resulting in pricing pressure on, and lower profit margins for, branded products. Negative regulatory reviews in relation to misuse potential, dependent risk and side effect liability including dizziness and cognitive deterioration is also a hindrance. However, there are a number of opportunities for the market, such as increasing opportunities for use in emerging markets, aided by improving healthcare infrastructure and increasing healthcare expenditure, and the invention of new formulations, such as extended-release formulations and combination products, and investigations into new therapeutic uses.
