Global Neurology Devices Market- Regional Analysis

Among all regions, North America is expected to dominate the global neurology devices market over the forecast period. This is attributed to an increase in the adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as collaboration by the key players in the market. For instance, in March 2021, Brain Scientific Inc., a neurology focused medical device and software company, announced a collaboration with JelikaLite, a company developing Cognilum, a non-invasive wearable photo-bio modulation device that is being developed to increase the well-being of children living with autism, through a clinical trial titled “Trans cranial Photo-bio modulation for Reducing Autism Symptoms in Children.”

Asia Pacific region is expected to be the second dominating region over the forecast period, due to an increase in the product launch in the region. For instance, according to a data published in November 2022, on South China Morning Post Publication, stated that Chinese researchers have launched an open-source platform for a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can integrate dozens of currently available software into one place. BCI, also known as brain-machine interface, is a technology that can translate a user’s brain activity into messages or commands for interactive applications. It is a direct communication pathway between the brain’s electrical activity and an external device, usually a computer or robotic limb.

Global Neurology Devices Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand for drugs and vaccines, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another.

The virus was thought to lead to a respiratory illness, largely sparing the brain and the rest of the nervous system. However, early reports from large outbreaks in China quickly changed this view. A study of more than 200 patients hospitalized in 3 COVID-19 focused hospitals in Wuhan demonstrated that more than one-third experienced a variety of neurologic manifestations, including altered mental status and acute cerebrovascular diseases, most commonly in those with severe respiratory illness. These findings quickly changed the perspective of neurologists worldwide and focused efforts toward both understanding the mechanisms responsible for this neurologic involvement and devising systems of care to identify and effectively treat these increasingly recognized complications. Hence, Covid-19 had a positive impact on the neurology devices market.

Global Neurology Devices Market Segmentation:

Global neurology devices market report is segmented into device type, end user and region.

Based on Device Type, the market is segmented into CSF management devices (CSF Shunt Devices, CSF Drainage Devices), interventional neurology devices (Neuro thromobectomy, Cerebral Balloon Angioplasty & Stents, Aneurysm Coiling, Support Devices), neuro-surgery devices (Neuro-endoscopes, Sterotactic- Systems, Ultrasonic- Aspirators, Aneurysm Clips), and neuro-stimulation devices (Spinal Cord Stimulation, Deep Brain Stimulation, Sacral Nerve Stimulation, Vagus Nerve Stimulation, Gastric Nerve Stimulation). Out of which, the CSF management devices segment is expected to dominate the global neurology devices market during the forecast period and this is attributed to an increase in the product approval by the regulatory bodies. For instance, in June 2020, Rhaeos, Inc., a private medical technology company focused on addressing a clinical unmet need in the care of patients with hydrocephalus, announced its initial product, FlowSense, a wireless, noninvasive flow sensor, has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The novel technology, formed out of the award-winning John A. Rogers Research Group at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL), is designed to rapidly monitor ventricular shunt function in patients with excess cerebrospinal fluid caused by hydrocephalus.

Based on End User, the market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and others. Out of which hospitals segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to increase in the launch of hospitals.
