Nerve Repair and Regeneration Market Size, Growth & Analysis Report 2027
The Global Nerve Repair and Regeneration Market is expected to grow at a rate of ~12% by 2027. Growing cases of nerve injuries, rising number of neurological disorders, technological advancements in nerve repair and regeneration devices, growing geriatric population, and growing investments by the government to support research activities in neurological disorders are some of the key factors driving the market growth.
Nerves are bundles of fibers that carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Nerves run all over the body and can be injured, resulting in problems with sensation or movement. Repair and regeneration in the nervous system is a process by which damaged tissue undergoes regrowth or renewal, eventually restoring nervous system function. This process happens more readily with the peripheral nervous system axons, synapses, neurons, and glia.
Technological Advancements in Neurostimulation & Neuromodulation Devices Boosts the Growth of Nerve Repair and Regeneration Market
Neurostimulation & Neuromodulation devices and treatments are life-changing. They affect every area of the body and treat nearly every disease or symptom from headaches to tremors to spinal cord damage, and urinary incontinence. These devices find their usage in many applications such as to treat traumatic or neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, multiple system atrophy, deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment for Parkinson's disease, sacral nerve stimulation for pelvic disorders and incontinence, and spinal cord stimulation for ischemic disorders (angina, peripheral vascular disease). The adoption of neurostimulation & neuromodulation devices in various applications is contributing to the growth of the nerve repair and regeneration market.
For instance,
- In December 2022, Abbott announced that they have received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the company's Eterna spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system for the treatment of chronic pain. The neuromodulation device provides an optimized experience with the ability to wirelessly charge as few as five times per year, the lowest recharge burden compared to other rechargeable SCS systems.
- In March 2022, MyndTec announced that they have received FDA approval for MyndMove 2.0, its second-generation neuromodulation MyndMove system for clinical and home usage.
- In January 2022, Medtronic announced that they have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of its Intellis rechargeable neurostimulator and Vanta recharge-free neurostimulator for the treatment of chronic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
Growing Prevalence of Neurological Disorders Drives the Nerve Repair & Regeneration Market
Neurological disorders are a growing and serious problem in many parts of the world. According to the WHO, more than 1 billion people throughout the world are affected by some type of neurological disease. Nearly 6 million people die every year as a result of a neurological disorder. The specific causes of neurological problems vary but can include genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities or disorders, infections, lifestyle or environmental health problems including malnutrition, brain injury, spinal cord injury, or nerve injury. With a growing population and aging society, more people are reaching ages at which neurological diseases are highly prevalent, stroke is the leading cause of disability and mortality, resulting in enormous human and economic burdens. The rising burden of neurological disorders among the population is likely to increase the demand of nerve repair & regeneration market.
Stem Cell-Based Therapies Opens Up New Growth Opportunities in Nerve Repair and Regeneration Market
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are some of the most common types of traumatic lesions affecting the nervous system. Although the peripheral nervous system has a higher regenerative ability than the central nervous system, delayed treatment is associated with disturbances in both distal sensory and functional abilities. The research findings suggest that the pluripotential stem cell from bone marrow, adipose tissue, skin, dental pulp, umbilical cord, or from nerve trunks can differentiate into Schwann cells and nerve cells with axons which could further help in the regeneration of the missing nerves. The function of these cells is supposed to be a combination of self-renewal function, production, and release of many growth factors, preparing the environment for nerve growth and providing a closed space for axons to grow. Furthermore, the use of stem cells derived from different sources has presented promising results for nerve regeneration and effective neural and functional results which in turn has further boosted the nerve repair and regeneration market growth.
Key Constraints/ Challenges: Nerve Repair and Regeneration Market
The high costs of the repair and regeneration devices, the dearth of skilled professionals, difficulty in treating large nerve gaps, and the growing preference for using drug therapies over nerve repair & regeneration products are some of the factors restraining the growth of the nerve repair and regeneration market in the upcoming years.
North America Expected to Continue to Hold a Major Share in the Nerve Repair and Regeneration Market
From a geographical perspective, North America holds a major market share of the global nerve repair and regeneration market. This can be mainly attributed to the rising geriatric population, growing adoption of technologically advanced products, presence of key market players, and favorable reimbursement landscape in the region. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness a strong growth in the upcoming years due to an increase in the aging population, growing demand for nerve repair and regenerative therapies, government initiatives to support research activities in neurological disorders, and the constantly improving healthcare infrastructure in the region.
