Pain Management Devices Market Dynamics:

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 confirmed that the high prominence of pain and pain-related diseases is the leading cause of disability and disease burden globally. Globally, as per the British Journal of Anaesthesia in 2019, the burden caused by chronic pain is growing and it was estimated 1.9 billion people were found to be affected by recurrent tension-type headaches, which were the most common symptomatic chronic condition. There are many risk factors for chronic pain, including socio-demographic, psychological, clinical, and biological factors. Men are less likely to report or experience chronic pain than women. The current estimates of incidence, prevalence and disability-adjusted life years of low back pain (LBPs) are 245.9 million cases/year (3.2%; 15th worldwide cause), 577.0 million cases (7.6%; 15th worldwide cause) and 64.9 million DALYs, respectively, as per the data of Journal of Hospital Management and Health Policy 2020. Therefore, the increasing incidence of chronic pain in population of all ages is expected to boost the market demand for pain management devices.

According to World Health Organization (2019), the global cancer burden is estimated to have risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease. Cancer usually develops in older people; 87% of all cancers in the United States are diagnosed in people 50 years of age or older.

Neuropathic cancer pain (NCP) is caused by nerve damage attributable to the cancer per se, and treatments including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery; the prevalence is reported to be as high as 40%, according to World Health Organization (2019). NCP management is ineffective in many cancer patients. With the introduction of better pain management devices, and surge in awareness among people toward devices, the pain management devices market is expected to see a boom.

The companies are spending more in research and development for developing and launching innovative products. In January 2019, Boston Scientific announced the launch of an advanced chronic pain management device, which has been identified as one of the very few devices in the market with the ability to combine paresthesia and sub-perception therapy. This is expected to increase awareness about the product and boost the demand for pain management devices.

It is predicted that the rising number of elderly patients would transform healthcare delivery and create a larger demand for better lifestyle. As per the recent survey, Global Population Aging 2020 Report (United Nations, 2020), the aging population tends to grow at an alarming pace. In 2020, there were around 727 million individuals in the world aged 65 years or older. By 2050, the figure of such patients is expected to double and reach 1.5 billion by 2050. The cases of lower back pain, arthritis, and chronic pain increases with the age. The older age patients require the pain management devices to improve the living style. Thus, all these factors are projected to drive the growth of the market for pain management devices.

Certain factors such as hypersensitivity reactions and post-operative infections caused due to use of these devices and limit their adoption the pain management devices and also non availability of best practicing guidelines for using pain management devices pose as a minor hurdle for the growth of the pain management devices market.

Pain Management Devices Segment Analysis:

By Type of Devices (Neuromodulation & Neurostimulation Devices, Analgesic Infusion Pumps [Intrathecal Infusion Pumps and External Infusion Pumps], Ablation Devices [Radiofrequency Ablation Devices and Cryoablation Devices], and Others), By Application (Neuropathic Pain, Cancer Pain, Facial & Migraine Pain, Musculoskeletal Pain, and Others), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In type of devices segment, neuromodulation & neurostimulation devices is expected to hold the largest share in the Pain Management Devices market. The growth can be attributed to the increased prevalence of neurological disorders. These neurostimulators play a crucial role in treating chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, movement disorders, and depression. This can majorly be attributed to the cost-effectiveness of neurostimulation devices, high efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) devices in alleviating chronic pain, and availability of reimbursement for SCS therapy in developed countries. Around 50 million patients are living with epilepsy worldwide and around 2.4 million new cases are diagnosed annually, as per the data published by the Epilepsy Centre in 2020. Furthermore, most of the epileptic cases are idiopathic, having no distinguishable cause. Parkinson's disease (PD) affects 1-2 per 1000 of the population at any time and its prevalence increases with age and affects 1% of the population above 60 years. According to World Health Organisation (2020) data, globally, around 50 million people have dementia, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. Around 60-70% of these cases are of Alzheimer's. Urgent measures to reduce this burden are therefore needed. The increasing number of neurological cases around the globe is expected to boost the demand for pain management devices.

Radiofrequency ablation is expected to register the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to its wide application in pain management, surgical oncology, gynecology, cardiology and cardiac rhythm management, and cosmetology. Open surgery in treating multiple tumour is dangerous and expensive than radiofrequency ablation, which fuels its demand. Technological advancements in the field are also boosting segment growth. In June 2020, Boston Scientific launched a tool to monitor the effect of radiofrequency energy delivery during cardiac ablation procedures called DIRECTSENSE.

Additionally, available reimbursement for the devices, assistance from government bodies, is expected to enhance the market potential in several countries. Hence, all the above mentioned factors is expected to drive the segment growth in the pain management devices market.
