MARKET DRIVERS

The growing patient population suffering from neurological diseases is one of the major factors propelling the neurostimulation devices market growth. The number of people suffering from neurological diseases is growing rapidly over the last several years. WHO says that neurological diseases affect almost 13% of the worldwide population. As per the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, neurological diseases are one of the major reasons behind the incidence of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide. People who are suffering from neurological diseases such as chronic pain, depression and others have been actively looking for alternative treatments from traditional pharmacological approaches which have unwanted side effects and be ineffective in managing their symptoms. To such people, neuromodulation devices can be a safe and effective option and this awareness among the neurological patient population has been increasing gradually over the last few years and driving the adoption of these devices. This trend is anticipated to fuel in the coming years and accelerate the market’s growth rate.

Technological advancements are further contributing to the growth of the neurostimulation devices market. In recent years, technological advancements have significantly improved the effectiveness and safety of neurostimulation devices and played a vital role in boosting the adoption and usage of these devices by healthcare providers and patients. For instance, microelectronic technology has been used in the manufacturing of neurostimulation devices. Such devices can be implanted in the body and controlled wirelessly. This has reduced the need for invasive surgeries significantly. Furthermore, the manufacturers of neurostimulation devices have used the Internet of Things (IoT) in the manufacturing activities of the devices and this has enabled the possibility to connect with other devices and networks and further allowed the healthcare professionals with the required data for the monitoring and to take appropriate changes in the treatment plans.

The growing aging population worldwide is another key factor fuelling the growth rate of the neurostimulation devices market. The risk of diagnosing with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, and epilepsy grows with increasing age and this is resulting in the increasing need for neurostimulation devices. People who are aged are most likely to suffer from chronic pain. WHO says approximately 20% of the aging population worldwide is suffering from chronic pain. As neurostimulation devices are being effective in pain relief and not causing any side effects, the adoption of these devices among the elderly has been picking the pace up over the last few years and the trend is likely to fuel in the coming years and boost the market’s growth rate.

In addition, the presence of favorable reimbursement policies for neurostimulation procedures in many developed countries, rising awareness about the effectiveness of neurostimulation therapies in treating neurological disorders among the healthcare professionals and patient population in various countries, increasing investments by the market participants in the R&D to develop more effective neurostimulation devices and increasing demand for non-invasive neurostimulation devices such as transcranial magnetic stimulators and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators favor the market growth. Furthermore, factors such as the growing preference from patients towards minimally invasive surgeries for neurological diseases to avoid the risks associated with invasive surgeries, rising healthcare expenditure by governments and private organizations are leading to better healthcare infrastructure and the availability of advanced neurostimulation devices, growing adoption of personalized medicine, rising adoption of neurostimulation devices in developing countries such as China, India, and Brazil and favorable regulatory environment for the approval of neurostimulation devices positively affecting the market’s growth rate.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high cost of neurostimulation devices is one of the major factors hampering market growth. Due to these high costs, the adoption of these devices by healthcare professionals and patients has been limited in underdeveloped and some developing countries. Limited reimbursement policies for neurostimulation devices in some countries are further inhibiting the market’s growth rate. Poor awareness among healthcare professionals and patients regarding the potential benefits and capabilities of neurostimulation devices in some countries is another significant obstacle to global market growth. In addition, factors such as the presence of alternative treatments such as medications and surgeries, availability issues of neurostimulation devices in some low-income countries and technical issues such as battery life, programming flexibility, and targeting accuracy are further limiting the adoption of these devices and the market’s growth rate.
