Nerve Monitoring Devices Market: Overview

Nerve monitoring devices assist surgeons in detecting and monitoring motor nerve function to avoid nerve injury during general operations. It's a strategy for preventing nervous system injury during high-risk medical operations including spine, nerve, and brain surgery. The nerve monitoring devices enable surgeons to execute crucial surgeries while conserving nerve function and enhancing patient safety by integrating advanced hardware electronics with easy software.

Nerve monitoring system is used to provide useful information to the surgeons such as nerve location and it also helps in monitoring the integrity of nerves which are critical for several body functions. The nerve monitoring systems provide real-time information and precise function and location of nerves that help to prevent neural damage occurred due to surgical manipulation. Thus the system is used by physicians from decades during the surgeries of the spine, maxillofacial, and diverse orthopedic surgeries. 

COVID-19 Impact:

The Covid-19 epidemic posed an unprecedented challenge to the global healthcare sector. The losses were seen throughout all product lines and were mostly due to shutdown and restrictions on movement. The decline in capital equipment acquisitions as a result of the pandemic had a particularly negative influence on the nerve monitoring industry. The net sales losses in ENT were majorly due to procedure postponement and a decline in the development of devices. However, with ease in restrictions and smooth operations of the key players, the market is expected to grow at a healthy rate post-COVID-era.

Nerve Monitoring Devices Market: Growth Drivers

Growing incidences of neurodegenerative disorders to drive market growth

Millions of individuals throughout the world suffer from neurodegenerative illnesses. The most frequent neurodegenerative disorders are Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. According to research from 2021, the Alzheimer's Disease Association expects that 6.2 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. By 2030, an estimated 1.2 million individuals in the United States will have Parkinson's disease. With age, the likelihood of developing a neurodegenerative disease rises considerably.

Thus, such a huge burden of neurodegenerative diseases and the growing geriatric population across the world are fostering the global nerve monitoring devices market growth. In addition to this, a rise in healthcare spending, a rapidly growing healthcare infrastructure, and an increase in the number of surgical procedures are also some of the key aspects that are fueling the growth of the market.

The rise in prevalence of severe disorders such as cerebral stroke and others such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinsonism is expected to fuel the demand for nerve monitoring systems market growth during the forecast period. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), about 50 million Americans are suffering owing to these disorders, high disease rate, & economic costs burden for medical expenses is increasing coupled with the loss of productivity.

Nerve Monitoring Devices Market: Restraints

Lack of skilled professionals to limit the market growth

With an increase in advancement and features of the nerve monitoring devices, to operate them, detailed knowledge of the device is necessary. Nerve monitoring devices are also nowadays combined into the software. Further, misinterpretations and failure to resolve technical glitches may result from a lack of basic understanding of neurophysiological monitoring. Also, the International Neural Study Monitoring Group has developed standards for the proper usage, setup, and troubleshooting of intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM).

In emerging or underdeveloped countries, there is a lack of skilled professionals who can efficiently operate the device. Thus, this can be a limiting factor for market growth. Moreover, unfavorable reimbursement policies and strict regulatory bodies regarding the approval of the device are also some of the factors that may hinder the growth of the market.

Rising prevalence of chronic diseases globally and rising health concerns, along with increasing awareness of healthcare professionals towards nerve monitoring systems and escalating demand for wearable devices is expected to propel the market for nerve monitoring systems market. Moreover, the growing availability of medical reimbursements for nerve monitoring systems will help augment the market growth in developed and developing nations. Companies like NuVasive and Medtronic Plc have come up with innovative products which are further boosting the market growth.

Nerve Monitoring Devices Market: Opportunities

Growing investment in the R&D sector is likely to drive the market during the forecast period.

With the growing demand for nerve monitoring devices, market players are focusing on the development of innovative devices that are integrated with software and other latest technologies. Thus, heavy investment is made by leading market players in the R&D sector in order to hold a strong position in the global market.

Also, there is an increase in funding by the private as well as government sectors to establish well-developed healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries which in turn is encouraging the major players to expand the business and manufacture of nerve monitoring devices. All such factors coupled with an increase in outsourcing of the devices to provide affordable solutions are expected to propel the global nerve monitoring devices market growth during the forecast period.

Nerve Monitoring Devices Market: Challenges.

The high cost of the device may pose a major challenge for the market growth.

Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) equipment and consumables, particularly continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring (CIONM), are costly and country-specific. When just the direct expenses of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injuries are evaluated, the IONM approach is unlikely to be cost-effective.

Also, inpatient expenditures for all types of thyroidectomies remain underfunded, irrespective of the equipment utilized. Thus, the unaffordability of nerve monitoring devices by small hospitals may pose a challenge to market growth.
