Neuromodulation Market Trends:

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Neurological Disorders

The heightened incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular conditions, alongside neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and depression, is a significant driver for the neuromodulation market. As per the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 6 in 10 adults in the U.S. are suffering from chronic diseases. And 4 out of 10 people have more than two chronic conditions. Also, about 21% of the geriatric adults in India have at least one chronic disease. 17% of geriatric people in rural areas and 29% in urban areas suffer from at least one chronic disease. These health issues lead to complications that can be managed or treated through neuromodulation therapies. For instance, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is widely used for pain relief in conditions that result from failed back surgery syndrome or complex regional pain syndrome.

Increasing Expenditure on Healthcare

Several countries across the globe are witnessing increased adoption of neuromodulation therapies owing to rising expenditure on healthcare, the growing population of the middle class, and the establishment of advanced healthcare infrastructures. For instance, India’s public expenditure on healthcare touched 2.1% of GDP in FY23 and 2.2% in FY22. Also, the Indian government is planning to introduce a credit incentive program worth Rs. 50,000 crores (US$ 6.8 billion) to boost the country’s healthcare infrastructure. Similarly, in Europe, the general government spending on health amounted to €1221 billion or 7.7% of GDP in 2022. The U.S. healthcare spending saw a hike of 4.1%, reaching $4.5 trillion or $13493/person. This expansion is increasing the geographical footprint of the neuromodulation industry and introducing these advanced therapies to new patient populations.

Implementation of Favorable Reimbursement Policies

The ongoing improvements in reimbursement policies for neuromodulation procedures is a main factor driving the market growth. In many countries, health insurance providers have revised their policies to include several neuromodulation therapies as they recognize their benefits in treating many refractory conditions. These changes have made neuromodulation technologies more accessible to a broader range of patients. In 2022, 92.1 percent of people, or 304.0 million in the U.S., had health insurance at some point during the year, as per the U.S. Census Bureau. Moreover, private health insurance coverage was more prevalent than public coverage, at 65.6 percent and 36.1 percent, respectively. Also, insurers are recognizing the cost-effectiveness of neuromodulation in the long term, especially in terms of reduced hospital stays and medication use, which is expanding the scope of reimbursement coverage.
