The sacral nerve stimulators segment accounted for a significant revenue share in 2021 owing to product advancement and new product launches by companies. In August 2018, Nevro Corp. received an FDA approval for the new Senza II SNS System. This launch helped the company expand its product portfolio in the neuromodulation and pain treatment segments.
Implantable electroceutical devices held the largest revenue share of over 85.0% in 2021 owing to the large application of these products for the treatment of arrhythmia, chronic pain, ischemia, depression, tremor, and sensorineural hearing loss. Based on type, the market for bioelectric medicine has been segmented into implantable and non-invasive electroceutical devices. Manufacturers are focusing on launching advanced products to cater unmet needs of the customers. For instance, in August 2018, Biotronik advanced arrhythmia detection and diagnosis with MoMe cardiac monitor designed to increase early detection and diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias.
非侵入性electroceutical设备部分s projected to witness the highest growth during the study period. This is due to technological advancements and rising investments in R&D by companies for innovative product development. Moreover, increasing healthcare awareness and popularity of electroceuticals in developing countries such as India, China, South Africa, and Argentina are expected to propel market growth.
The arrhythmia segment dominated the overall market with a revenue share of over 65.0% in 2021. This is due to the rising prevalence of arrhythmia that involves the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and cardiac pacemakers for the treatment. The epilepsy application segment is projected to register a lucrative CAGR over the forecast period due to the advancement in treatment options such as vagus nerve stimulators. The companies and research institutes are focusing on innovative product development.
For instance, in January 2017, Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) launched clinical trials for the treatment of brain injury by using vagus nerve stimulation. Sensorineural hearing loss is another major segment, which accounted for a considerable revenue share in 2021. The rising number of patients suffering from hearing loss is the major growth driver of this segment. According to the NIH, in 2018, almost one in every three people in the age group of 65 to 74 has hearing loss, while nearly half of the population older than 75 had hearing difficulty.
The hospital segment held the largest revenue share of over 90.0% due to the rising burden of chronic diseases including arrhythmia, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, retinitis pigmentosa, chronic pain, and depression, needing frequent or seldom hospitalization. For instance, as stated by the WHO, approximately 50 million people in the world are suffering from epilepsy and this number is expected to increase in the near future owing to a growing number of car accidents and other traumatic injuries. The increasing population and developing healthcare infrastructure have spurred the demand for bioelectric medicines. Increasing disposable income and the presence of advanced medical devices for the treatment of different severe diseases are expected to drive the application of electroceuticals in hospitals.
The other segment includes research institutes and homecare. This segment is projected to exhibit a significant CAGR over the forecast period due to the rising investment in R&D for new product development. In addition, rising funding by the government for bioelectric medicine supports the market growth. For instance, in October 2016, the National Institutes of Health declared the funding of around USD 20 million for electroceuticals research.
