The electrotherapy devices market is witnessing positive growth owing to various factors such as the rising prevalence of diabetes, rising incidence of spinal injuries, increasing prevalence of chronic pain, rising burden of the geriatric population suffering from spine-related disorders, and technological advancements in product development. Therefore, the market for electrotherapy devices is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027. 

Electrotherapy Devices Market Dynamics:

One of the main drivers of the electrotherapy devices market is the rising prevalence of diabetes amongst the population globally. According to the International Diabetes Foundation 2022, in 2021, approximately 537 million adults were living with diabetes. As per the same source, the total number of people that were living with diabetes can be projected to rise to 643 million by the year 2030 and 785 million by the year 2045. Moreover, Diabetes is not only a lifestyle disorder but also occurs as a result of aging, thereby increasing the prevalence of diabetes condition around the world. Owing to an increase in the prevalence of diabetes there will be a greater demand observed for electrotherapy devices as they will be readily used for the treatment and management of diabetic neuropathy which in turn would drive the overall electrotherapy devices market forward over the forecast period (2022-2027).

Moreover, another key factor that is driving the growth of the electrotherapy devices market is the rising incidence of spinal injuries. For instance, as per the US National Safety Council (NSC), in the year 2020, bicycling accounted for about 426,000 injuries, the most of any category of sports and recreation. Exercise, with or without equipment, followed with approximately 378,000 injuries, while All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), moped, and minibike use accounted for 230,000 injuries, and skateboard, scooter as well as hoverboard use, with 218,00 injuries, ranked third and fourth.

Additionally, according to data published by the World Health Organization in the year 2021, between 250,000 and 500,000 people worldwide experience Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) each year. The majority of SCIs are caused by car accidents, slips, falls, or violent acts.

Therefore, the factors stated above collectively will drive the overall electrotherapy devices market during the forecast period from 2022-2027. 

The higher cost associated with electrotherapy devices & procedures and lack of awareness regarding the availability of electrotherapy procedures in various developing countries will cause a restraint, thereby hindering the demand for electrotherapy devices, leading to an overall decrease in the market growth of electrotherapy devices market.

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has had a slightly negative effect on the electrotherapy devices market. This is because the prime focus was given to the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Patients suffering from pain-related conditions and other disorders were considered low priority. Also, the stringent guidelines implemented by various governments across the globe, and the halt in manufacturing facilities slowed down the market for electrotherapy devices. However, due to the global launch of different vaccines and the implementation of mass vaccination across the globe the service for other treatments also resumed therefore the electrotherapy devices market has picked momentum and is expected to further grow during the forecast period.

Electrotherapy Devices Market Segment Analysis:

Electrotherapy Devices Market By Product Type (High Frequency, Medium Frequency, and Low Frequency), Treatment Type (Transcutaneous Spinal Electro Analgesia (TSE), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Interferential Current Therapy (IFC), Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), and Others), Application (Pain Management, Tissue Repair & Wound Healing, Anxiety & Insomnia Management, Sports Medicine, and Others), End-User (Hospitals & Clinics, Rehabilitation Centres, Long Term Care Centres, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the application segment of the electrotherapy devices market, due to pain management, the electrotherapy devices market is expected to have the highest revenue share in the year 2021. Electrical impulses are used in electrotherapy to block the brain's ability to receive neural pain signals. The signal traveling from the nerve to the brain is essentially slowed down or distracted. In this method, tiny electrical impulses are sent across the skin by the device. Moreover, a sticky pad or carbon electrodes are applied to the skin in the painful area and linked to the gadget by wires. This enables the spread of a weak, low-intensity electric charge. When tissue damage has occurred, electrotherapy can also employ electric current to facilitate tissue repair. Further, electrotherapy is a non-invasive as well as a safe form of treatment. Thus, electrotherapy is an umbrella term that covers several therapies using electric current which reduce pain and ease muscular tension.

Therefore, the factors and benefits associated with electrotherapy devices for pain management, uplift the electrotherapy devices demand in the market, which could drive the growth of the overall global electrotherapy devices market during the forecast period.

Also, the regulatory approvals for pain management devices help in improving the demand for electrotherapy devices, thereby increasing the growth of the overall electrotherapy devices market. For instance, in June 2021, Wuxi Jiajian Medical Instrument Co., Ltd, a technology-intensive enterprise, received United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS), the device is intended for use in the therapy of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain, as well as for the symptomatic relief of chronic pain.

Moreover, due to the interplay of all the factors mentioned above, this can result in the rising demand for electrotherapy devices, which in turn would provide a conducive growth environment for overall electrotherapy devices during the market forecast 2022-2027.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Electrotherapy Devices Market:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to dominate the global electrotherapy devices market in the year 2021 and is expected to do the same during the forecast period from 2022-2027. Factors such as the rising burden of the geriatric population in the region suffering from spine-related disorders and the increasing prevalence of kidney diseases and the rise in the regulatory approvals for electrotherapy devices increase the demand for electrotherapy devices in the North American market.

As per the latest statistics, according to the 2020 Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) data sheet from the National SCI Statistical Center (NSCISC), approximately 17,810 new SCI occur each year in the United States. Moreover, there were between 250,000 and 368,000 people in the United States who were living with SCI. Therefore, the rising incidence of SCI also increases the chances of suffering from pain, this would increase the demand for electrotherapy devices, which could boost the overall electrotherapy devices market forward over the forecast period (2022-2027).

Furthermore, another factor such as the rise in the regulatory approvals for electrotherapy devices could drive the electrotherapy devices overall market in the region. For instance, in June 2021, NeuraLace Medical, Inc., a medical device company, received United States FDA approval and US launch for its Axon Therapy to non-invasively stimulate peripheral nerves and provide chronic nerve pain relief. 
Therefore, all factors will collectively provide a conducive growth environment for the North American region in the electrotherapy devices market.
