The global pelvic floor stimulation devices is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.99% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030 to reach USD 413.66 million by 2030. The demand for pelvic floor stimulation devices is being boosted by the increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence, neurodegenerative diseases, and others. Further, the increasing prevalence of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and others which is the root cause of urinary incontinence can propel the demand for pelvic floor stimulation devices. Further, the rising geriatric population, rising product launches, and approvals, surging demand for home healthcare, and innovation in product development, among others are thereby contributing to the overall growth of the pelvic floor stimulation devices market during the forecast period from 2024-2030. 

Pelvic Floor Stimulation Devices Market Dynamics:

The pelvic floor stimulation devices market is witnessing a growth in product demand owing to various factors, one of the key factors being the increase in the prevalence of urinary incontinence. For instance, according to the National Association for Continence 2019, up to 40 million women in America have experienced bladder leakage issues at some point in their lives. As per the same study in 2019, almost half of new mothers experience incontinence following a normal delivery and about one in six following a cesarean section.

Additionally, as per the study mentioned by the American Academy of Family Physicians in 2019, urinary incontinence (UI) is a common issue, with a prevalence of 51% among adult women in the United States.

Further, as per the data provided by the Continence Foundation of Australia in 2023, over 5 million Australians – 1 in 4 people aged 15 years or over – experienced bladder or bowel control problems in the same year, and 80% of people with urinary incontinence are women. Similar trends in likely to be observed in other regions of the world.

Thus, the increasing cases of urinary incontinence, bowel control problems, and overactive bladder, among others will propel the demand for pelvic floor stimulation devices.

Also, due to the rise in the geriatric population across the globe, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period. According to the UN Report, World Population Ageing 2020 Highlights, globally, there were about 727 million people aged 65 years and above in 2020. Also, as per the same source, over the next three decades, the number of older people worldwide is projected to more than double, reaching approximately 1.5 billion by 2050. Thus, the increase in the aging population will lead to the development of urinary incontinence, mainly stress urinary incontinence, thereby leading to the weakening of the pelvic floor requiring treatment using pelvic floor stimulation devices. Thus, the increasing number of cases of urinary incontinence will increase the demand for pelvic floor stimulation devices.

Moreover, another key factor aiding the growth of pelvic floor stimulation devices is the growing demand for non-invasive treatments. This can be attributed to the realization of advantages associated with minimally invasive approaches such as faster healing time and significantly fewer complications compared to conventional techniques. Non-invasive devices are now designed to stimulate muscle pathways and nerves. For instance, in 2020, Innovo, a non-invasive wearable device by Atlantic Therapeutics received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its over-the-counter (OTC) distribution. It is a muscle electrical stimulator that targets weakened pelvic floor muscles to treat stress urinary incontinence. 

Therefore, the above-mentioned factors are expected to further drive the growth of pelvic floor stimulation devices during the forecast period (2024-2030).

However, the availability of alternative treatment methods and others may prove to be challenging factors for the pelvic floor stimulation devices market growth.

The pelvic floor stimulation devices market experienced a period of a temporary setback as lockdown restrictions were enforced as a necessary step to curb the spread of COVID-19. One of the major steps during the COVID surge was the suspension of elective healthcare procedures and outpatient visits which reduced the demand for these devices in the market as the healthcare system guidelines across the globe temporarily focused all their efforts on the management of COVID-19 infection patient load during the initial lockdown period. Nevertheless, the ease of lockdown restrictions, resumption of manufacturing activities across the healthcare sector, and with the upturn of patients in hospitals and clinics for treatment and diagnosis of various chronic diseases lead to an increased demand for pelvic floor simulation devices and is anticipated to do the same during the forecast period from 2023 – 2030.

Pelvic Floor Stimulation Devices Market Segment Analysis:

Pelvic Floor Stimulation Devices Market by Product Type (Fixed and Mobile), Application (Urinary Incontinence, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Sexual Dysfunction, and Others), End-User (Hospitals & Clinics, Homecare Setting, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

In the product type segment of the pelvic floor stimulation devices market, the mobile pelvic floor stimulation device category is expected to amass significant revenue share in the year 2023. This can be ascribed to the advantages offered by the category.

Mobile pelvic floor stimulator devices offer quick and non-invasive treatments being small, portable, and easy to use aiming at the comfort of the patients.

Further, the increasing product launches and approvals will in turn propel the demand for mobile pelvic floor stimulators. For instance, in 2023?TENA launched a non-invasive smart Kegel trainer, known as Emy, which provides a discrete at-home solution to combat bladder issues. The smart device was designed to be paired with an app that can be downloaded on smartphones.

Also, Pelvic Muscle Trainer XFT-0010 plus, developed by Shenzhen XFT Medical Limited helps with urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction in women and helps them regain stronger pelvic floor muscles.
