Nerve Monitoring Systems Market

Nerve Monitoring Systems Market By Product (Nerve Monitors, Nerve Stimulation Electrodes, and Probes), Technology (Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalography (EEG), Electrocorticography (ECOG), and Evoked Potential (EP)), Application (Neurosurgery, ENT Surgery, Cardiovascular, and Others), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others), and Geography is expected to grow at a steady CAGR forecast till 2030 owing to rise in nerve-related disorders and rising use of nerve monitoring systems in trauma cases

The global nerve monitoring systems market was valued at USD 1.28 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.17% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030, to reach USD 1.63 billion by 2030. The demand for nerve monitoring systems is primarily motivated by the rise in nerve-related disorder patient population, easy availability of medical reimbursement for these procedures, increasing demand for advanced products, and the strong presence of device manufacturers in the market. 

Nerve Monitoring Systems Market Dynamics:

Nerve monitoring systems are widely used to monitor the condition of the nervous system and the functioning of the nerves of patients during surgical procedures. Nerve monitoring devices help to prevent damage to the spinal cord, brain, and nerves and enable surgeons to identify, confirm, and monitor motor nerve function during a variety of surgical procedures, thereby reducing the potential risk of nerve damage. Therefore, the rise in the prevalence of nerve-related disorders is expected to drive the market growth.

A study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2024, mentioned that approximately 3 billion people were living with neurological conditions in 2021 worldwide. The five largest contributors are stroke, migraine, dementia, meningitis, and epilepsy. Yet, the burden of neurological disorders is widely unrecognized. Due to the growing prevalence of neurological disorders, the need for nerve monitoring systems will also increase due to their application in monitoring nerve integrity and function during surgical procedures, thus resulting in the overall growth of the nerve monitoring systems market.

Key players are concentrating their efforts on developing advanced devices in neuromonitoring to reduce nerve injuries during complex surgeries. For instance, in December 2022, WISE s.r.l. launched WISE Cortical Strip. This is a single-use medical device designed specifically for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) on the brain surface. It offers conformability to the brain surface to ensure precise neuromonitoring during brain surgeries. Such development by key players is expected to drive the market growth.

However, the lack of qualified nerve monitoring professionals and less awareness of nerve monitoring techniques in several developing countries are the key constraints that can limit the nerve monitoring systems market growth.

Nerve Monitoring Systems Market Segment Analysis:

Nerve Monitoring Systems by Product (Nerve Monitors, Nerve Stimulation Electrodes and Probes), Technology (Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalography (EEG), Electrocorticography (ECOG), and Evoked Potential (EP)), Application (Neurosurgery, ENT Surgery, Cardiovascular, and Others), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the nerve monitoring systems market technology segment, Electromyography is expected to hold the largest share in the market as it is used for analysis, evaluation, and recording of the electrical activity of skeletal muscles and motor nerve cells associated with them. Electromyography (EMG) serves as a pivotal tool in nerve monitoring as it facilitates the examination of muscle recruitment patterns during movements. Electromyography is also used in the evaluation of muscle fatigue levels and the monitoring of neuromuscular disorders. Due to such wide applications and the significant use of EMG nerve monitoring for intraoperative monitoring is expected to boost the nerve monitoring systems market growth.

Key players in the market are focusing on technological innovation for the development of advanced products for neuromuscular monitoring. For instance, in October 2023, Rhythmlink International, LLC launched concentric needles designed for use in electromyography. These needles allow surgeons to accurately identify nerve and muscle health through ultra-precise placement and recording, and higher quality readings. Such activities by key players are expected to drive the market growth.

Therefore, the various applications of EMG in nerve monitoring and product development are expected to contribute to the growth of the segment, thereby driving the growth of the overall nerve monitoring systems market during the forecast period.

North America is expected to dominate the overall nerve monitoring systems market:

North America is expected to dominate the overall nerve monitoring systems market during the forecast period. This domination is due to the growing prevalence of neurological diseases and the development of advanced technologies in nerve monitoring systems.

The growing prevalence of neurological diseases is a major factor contributing to the escalating demand for nerve monitoring systems in the region. According to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in September 2023, approximately 6.7 million people aged 65 years or older were living with Alzheimer’s disease in 2023 and this number was expected to reach 13.9 million by 2060 in the United States. Nerve monitoring systems help in the assessment of motor nerve impairments and detect changes in neuromuscular response to track disease progression. Thus, the application of nerve monitoring devices in neurological disease is expected to propel the market growth.

Key players in the region are collaborating to develop innovative products integrated with advanced technologies to offer precise nerve monitoring. For instance, in December 2021, Samsung Medison and Intel Corporation joined forces to develop NerveTrack. NerveTrack is a real-time nerve monitoring system integrated with artificial intelligence that helps surgeons identify nerves very quickly and accurately to reduce complications. The nerve monitoring system allows for the exact location and identification of a motor nerve, as well as the prevention of nerve damage.

Europe and the Asia-Pacific region have the future potential growth for nerve monitoring systems. The burden of neurological disorders has increased largely because of the aging of the population, thus there is an enormous potential for nerve monitoring systems market growth.

The aging population is more prone to being affected due to neurological disorders and other chronic diseases that require constant monitoring of their health. The nerve monitoring system helps to monitor nerve functioning to detect neurological disorders and monitor nerve damage during complex surgeries. According to an article published by the United States Census Bureau in November 2023, published that, there were approximately 414 million people aged 65 and older in 2020 with projections indicating this demographic will exceed 1.2 billion by the year 2060 in the Asia-Pacific.

Therefore, the rising burden of neurological disorders coupled with the increasing aging population is set to witness potential growth for the nerve monitoring systems market.
