Market Insights and Analyst View:

A deep brain stimulator (DBS) is a brain stimulation device comprising a brain-oriented pacemaker (an implantable pulse generator) that sends electrical stimulation via surgically implanted electrodes to specific targets in the brain. DBS is generally used to treat movement disorders and neuropsychiatric disorders. The rising prevalence of neurological disorders and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery are driving the deep brain stimulation market size. However, side effects associated with deep brain stimulation hinder the deep brain stimulation market growth. The rising prevalence of neurological disorders and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery are expected to propel the deep brain stimulation market growth during the forecast period.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

The geriatric population is susceptible to neurological diseases. Neuropathy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and dystonia are among the most common neurological disorders affecting older people. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 8.5% of the world's population (i.e., ~617 million people) are 65 and above. The prevalence of movement disorders and psychiatric disorders is high among the geriatric populations in countries such as the US and Canada. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), neurological diseases contribute 6.3% to the global disease burden and are one of the leading causes of death across the world. In addition, 13.2% of deaths in developed countries and 16.8% of deaths in low- and middle-income countries are reported due to neurological diseases.

Deep brain stimulation is a minimally invasive targeted surgery used to treat movement disorders in dystonia, Parkinson's disease, and essential tremor. Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) offer several advantages over traditional surgical techniques. MIS minimizes trauma to the body, reduces postoperative pain, increases recovery speed, and improves outcomes. Also, these procedures require tiny incisions large enough to insert thin tubes and cameras. These benefits of MIS are increasing inpatients and have encouraged older patients who face high operative morbidity and mortality to seek surgery. Therefore, growing awareness regarding the burden of neurological disorders, the rising geriatric population, the increasing prevalence of neurological diseases, and the rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries due to their advantages propel the demand for deep brain stimulators as a therapy.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively treats multiple neurological and psychiatric indications; however, surgical and hardware-related adverse events (AEs) can negatively impact the quality of life. Patients may experience side effects depending on their medication and initial programming in the initial weeks and months after a DBS procedure. Patients often experience discomfort related to the device's neurostimulator (or battery pack) implanted under the skin near the collarbone. The side effects were significantly more common in patients who underwent bilateral DBS than in patients who underwent unilateral DBS. There are various risks associated with deep brain stimulation procedures, such as lead misplacement and bleeding in the brain. The implanted pulse generator (IPG) is a basic energy source and a configurable component of DBS devices. The risk of infection from IPG limits the use of deep brain stimulation devices for Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the side effects of deep brain stimulation hinder the deep brain stimulation market growth.
