Nerve Stimulators Market Segment Insights

Spinal Cord Stimulators to Experience Highest Demand

The major types of nerve stimulators in the global industry include vagus nerve stimulator, spinal cord stimulator and deep brain stimulator. Spinal cord stimulators form the leading segment in the nerve stimulators market with the highest revenue share, as a result of the extensive scope of the product use and the growing demand for the commercially sold products within this segment. Technological innovations in this aspect also work in favor of the segment. Spinal cord stimulators have widespread application scope in non-malignant chronic neuropathic pain management since they help lower the pain by generating small nerve impulses without inducing any anatomical change at the target area.

Application of Nerve Stimulators to be Extensive in Epilepsy Treatment

Applications listed in the report include depression, chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, dystonia, and more. Impressive product efficiency demonstrated during the treatment of epilepsy and the low number of treatment options available for the disease can mean significant nerve stimulators market growth in the near future. Tremors can be characterized by extreme involuntary movement of the limb, while also affecting the jaw, neck, and various body parts. The expanding geriatric populace and the rising cases of epilepsy among them can be a key growth inducing factor in the global nerve stimulators market. Moreover, the mounting depression cases will also foster market advancement since nerve stimulators facilitate smooth treatment by inhibiting or activating electrical brain signals.

Hospital & Clinics Segment to Take the Lead

With respect to end user, the market caters to hospital & clinics, trauma centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Soaring number of hospitals and clinics across the world and the rising number of patients opting to get admitted for treatment favor the nerve stimulators market growth. Therefore, the hospital & clinic segment is projected to take the leading position in the global nerve stimulators market over the coming years.

Regional Analysis

America Emerges as the Market Leader 

America should be the top-performing market for nerve stimulators in subsequent years, thanks to the burgeoning elderly population. A HuffPost article in 2017 revealed that close to 100 million Americans are affected by neurological disorders, translating into nearly one-third of the overall population. Most neurological diseases include Alzheimer’s, migraines, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and epilepsy. In a nutshell, the surging burden of various neurological disorder types and the resultant increase in the need for advanced nerve stimulators contribute significantly to the nerve stimulators market growth in the region.

Europe Clinches the Second Biggest Share in the Global Market

Europe will remain the second highest gainer in the global nerve stimulators market in the next several years, mostly due to the expanding geriatric population afflicted with a number of neurological issues and the substantial spending on healthcare. The soaring awareness level among people about mental health also acts as a key growth booster. Apart from this, frequent technical innovations for improved patient management and surging uptake of novel technologies to restore vision and facilitate movement during paralysis could also boost revenue generation in the following years.

APAC to Secure the Fastest Growth Rate

Asia Pacific is brimming with lucrative opportunities and in view of this, it is expected that the regional nerve stimulators market can procure the fastest growth rate over the evaluation period. The growth rendering factors in the region include the continuously growing patient pool suffering from various neurological disorders, and the fact that the government is now supporting innovative healthcare practices.

Competitive Landscape

Vendors Focus on R&D and Product Innovations to Boost Global Presence
