Brain Implants Market By Product Type (Deep Brain Stimulator, Spinal Cord Stimulator, and Others), By Application (Chronic Pain, Epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, and Others) and Region - Global Forecast to 2023

The global brain implants market is expected to value at over US$ 3 Bn in 2019, and is expected to register a CAGR of 9.7%. The global brain implants market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, and region/country.

Global Brain Implants Market: Introduction

Brain implants are type of neural devices referred as neural implants. The brain implants are technological devices which are connected to the brain-generally attached to the cortex of the brain, or placed on the surface of the brain. The brain implants are primarily inserted into the brain to enhance physical movement, memory, and sensitivity. In addition, they are also used to gather brain responses while performing various activities.

Global Brain Implants Market: Dynamics

Major factor driving growth of the global market is high prevalence of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, epilepsy, depression, and essential tremor among all age groups across the globe. In addition, rising support by government authorities and various healthcare organizations to improve overall healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries and increasing skilled healthcare professionals to provide the treatment are other key factors expected to fuel growth of the target market.

Growing brain implant surgery treatment among geriatric population across the globe to treat neurological disorders and other age-related diseases and disorders is another factor expected to boost growth of the global brain implants market over the forecast period. In addition, rising awareness about the technologically advanced brain implant devices among individuals across the globe is another major factor expected to propel growth of the global market.

Furthermore, increasing awareness among individuals about advanced and efficient brain implant devices and growing adoption of robot-assisted implantation across the globe are other factors expected to proliferate growth of the global brain implants market in the next 10 years.

However, high initial and maintenance cost of brain implant devices and lack of awareness about brain implants among individuals in emerging countries of the globe are major factors expected to restraint growth of the global brain implants market.
