Vagus Nerve Stimulation Market By Product (Implantable VNS devices, External VNS devices), By Application (Epilepsy, Depression, Others), By End user (Hospitals, Neurology clinics, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032
The global vagus nerve stimulation market size was valued at $488.5 million in 2022, and is projected to reach $836.1 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2032.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a medical treatment that involves the use of electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve, which is a large nerve that runs from the brainstem to the abdomen. The vagus nerve is responsible for regulating many important physiological functions, including heart rate, digestion, and breathing. The implantable device is typically implanted under the skin in the chest or neck, and a wire is attached to the vagus nerve. The electrical impulses generated by this device can help to regulate various physiological functions in the body, including heart rate, breathing, and digestion. VNS therapy is currently used to treat several medical conditions, including epilepsy, depression, and migraine.
VNS is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, although there are some side effects such as hoarseness, coughing, change in voice, and neck pain. These devices are of two types such as implantable VNS devices and externally VNS devices. Vagus nerve stimulation has been FDA-approved treatment for epilepsy and depression. In addition, compared to traditional medications, electrical stimulation of nerves can offer several advantages, such as targeted and adjustable stimulation, reduces risk of systemic side effects, and the potential for long-term benefits.
The global vagus nerve stimulation market is majorly driven by rise in number of people suffering from epilepsy and rise in technological advancements in vagus nerve stimulation devices. For instance, in 2021, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), estimated that 5% of adults suffered from depression across the globe. Thus, the increase in prevalence of chronic diseases such as epilepsy, depression, and chronic pain, is driving the demand for VNS devices to manage and treat the disease.
However, high costs associated with vagus nerve stimulator devices and the lack of skilled personnel in some countries hinder market growth to some extent. In addition, many people in underdeveloped nations are not aware of the importance of vagus nerve stimulation therapy and do not understand the potential benefits of these treatments; which can also limit the market growth.
Moreover, development and technological advancements in vagus nerve stimulation devices provide growth opportunities in the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific and LAMEA regions during the forecast period. There have been significant advancements in VNS technology such as the development of minimally invasive devices and closed-loop systems that adjust the stimulation based on patient needs. For instance, Soterix Medical Inc. introduced the first transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulator (taVNS), which provides the necessary pulse parameter settings and offers portable option to modulate the vagus system. These technological advancements have improved the effectiveness and accessibility of VNS therapy which is expected to drive the market growth. Furthermore, surge in awareness among healthcare providers and patients about benefits of VNS therapy, to treat a variety of conditions, is further driving demand for VNS devices.
