Global Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Market: Overview

An intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) system is a collection of methods that can identify, track, and validate nerve function while reducing the likelihood of neurological issues developing during or following neurological surgical operations. It lowers the possibility of nerve function being harmed as a result of incorrect patient placement or any nerve structures that are important for neurophysiology. During spine, head, or neck surgery, an IONM enables surgeons to recognize electrophysiologic changes, which may be essential in extending incisions, situating limbs, and using retraction procedures that can avoid long-term nerve damage.

Global Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Market: Growth Drivers

The growing prevalence of chronic disease coupled with the rising geriatric population drives the market growth

The need for intraoperative neuromonitoring in various healthcare settings is projected to rise as the aging population continues to expand and becomes more sensitive to chronic disorders. In addition, the CDC reports that persons 65 and older have a higher risk of developing heart disease, COPD, diabetes, cancer, neurological issues, and other chronic conditions. One in ten adults over the age of 65 is affected by Alzheimer's disease, and the frequency of the condition rises with advancing age, according to a Nature Reviews Neurology paper. Such diseases need both emergency and non-emergency hospital care, which will propel the global intraoperative neuromonitoring market expansion.

Restraints:

The high cost of procedures and devices acts as a major restraint for the market growth              

The intraoperative neuromonitoring industry will be severely hampered by the high cost of IONM equipment and procedures. Depending on the number of channels, EEG devices with 1-32 channels can cost anywhere between US$ 1,000 and US$ 25,000, while those with more than 64 channels may cost more than US$ 25,000. Typically, portable amplifiers that can record EMG for longer than four hours cost around US$ 20,000. Many end users choose reconditioned IONM devices over new ones due to financial restrictions since they provide a considerable cost reduction. Refurbished IONM devices are sold by several businesses, including Alternative Source Medical. This decreases the demand for new IONM devices from well-known suppliers that make significant investments in R&D to create cutting-edge IONM devices.

Opportunities:

Technological advancements provide a lucrative opportunity

Less direct human intervention in surgical operations as a consequence of the development of sophisticated technology such as neurosurgical devices, surgical microscopes, ophthalmic surgical devices, and surgical robots is anticipated to promote global intraoperative neuromonitoring market expansion. For instance, the NIM Vital nerve monitoring system, which enables doctors to identify, monitor, and validate nerve function to assist lower the risk of nerve injury during head and neck surgery, received 510(k) clearance from the US FDA in October 2020. Thus, driving industry growth over the forecast period.

Challenges:

The dearth of skilled professionals poses a major challenge

The expansion of the market is being constrained by a lack of skilled labor for managing and maintaining intraoperative neuromonitoring setups. Moreover, one of the reasons limiting market expansion is the lack of knowledge of intraoperative neuromonitoring, particularly in emerging nations.
