Functional Electrical Stimulation Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Rise in musculoskeletal disorders- According to the data from WHO in February of 2021, it was estimated that approximately 1.71 billion individuals are currently dealing with musculoskeletal conditions on a global level. One of the major concerns that cause the burden is low back pain, affecting a staggering 568 million individuals worldwide. This rise in musculoskeletal disorders can also lead to a surge in the need for functional electrical stimulation treatment.
  • The integration of an imbalanced diet along with a sedentary lifestyle- Due to this, there has been a great increase in the surge for functional electrical stimulation. Moreover, the lack of physical activity and exercise has also led to a global surge in musculoskeletal disorders, integrated with obesity resulting from these unhealthy habits.
  • Advancements in the medical and technological fields- Due to the increasing demand for physiotherapists for treating the disorders of muscle stimulators, there is also an increasing prevalence of pain management therapies in several areas of medicine such as medical science.

Challenges

  • Availability of cheaper options- Customers always have an option to choose between functional stimulation which are costly and many cheap therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, and aromatherapy. This can be counted as a major obstacle to the functional electrical stimulation market growth for functional electrical stimulation. Also, safety issues, the lack of usage guidelines, and the regulatory concerns can also hinder the market growth for functional electrical stimulation.
  • High purchasing and maintenance cost- The market's growth is significantly impacted by the high costs associated with implementing various treatment methods. With expensive medications and driving up expenses, the market's development is hindered. The considerable financial strain of these treatments continues to pose a major obstacle, severely restricting the functional electrical stimulation market potential for growth.
  • Discomfort during treatment, this process can cause skin irritation at the site of electrodes that can strain muscle movements and can worsen the spasticity.
