This market research report includes a detailed segmentation of the global neurostimulation devices market by product type (SCS, DBS, SNS, VNS, and GES), by applications type (pain management, urinary & fecal incontinence, and epilepsy), by end-users (hospitals and trauma centers), and by regions (North America, Europe, APAC, and RoW).

Research Overview

Infoholic Research predicts that the global neurostimulation devices market will grow at a CAGR of 12.18% during the forecast period 2019–2025. Neurostimulation devices are designed specifically to treat various conditions effectively by delivering low voltage electricity to specific parts of the patient brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system. Several kinds of research have revealed that neurostimulation therapy has improved the ability to function and participate in activities of daily living. Thus, neurostimulation devices are found to be effective among patients suffering from various neurological disorders, thereby influencing the growth of the global neurostimulation devices market. The drug-free advantages of neurostimulation devices in chronic pain management without opioids can be a lifesaver for many as it avoids the systemic impacts and possible addictive outcomes of drug therapy. Their promising results in improving the quality of life have enabled many healthcare providers and facilities to deliver rapid, safe, and effective treatment procedures.

Recent advancements in neurotechnology and neuroimaging, along with an increased understanding of neurocircuitry, are providing the necessary tools to treat patients with many debilitating neurologic and psychiatric disorders that are contributing to the rapid rise in the use of neurostimulation therapies. After remaining relatively stagnant for the past 30 years, electrical stimulation technologies are evolving toward potential closed-loop therapeutic control systems with the ability to deliver stimulation with a higher spatial resolution to provide continuously customized neuromodulation for optimal clinical outcomes. Also, advancements such as electrode design to enable long-term high-precision sensing and stimulating as well as computing approaches to acquire and assess meaningful feedback signals in real-time to adapt stimulation parameters accordingly are boosting the neurostimulation devices market. With the advent of new technologies-enabled devices, manufacturers have focused on developing tools and devices that transform disease treatment on a global scale to be less toxic, less invasive, and more effective, using precise ultra-low radiofrequency energy. Such promising results of neurostimulation devices are making manufacturers invest more in R&D for the development of advanced products. Hence there would be a growing demand for the development of effective neurovascular devices and commercialization during the forecast period.

North America is considered as the largest region in the global neurostimulation devices market due to extensive technological advancements, sophisticated healthcare infrastructures, and various government initiatives in the region.
