Market Overview

A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) is a medical device that employs electrical pulses to interrupt or inhibit pain signals from peripheral nerves to the brain. The peripheral nerve stimulators (PNS) market includes the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of medical devices that send electrical impulses to peripheral nerves for therapeutic reasons. These devices can be implantable and external. These devices help to alleviate chronic pain, restore motor function, or support rehabilitation. Japan is witnessing a significant increase in neuropathic pain cases, affecting about 10 million people (8% of the population), which is driving the demand for peripheral nerve stimulators. Japan has one of the largest aging populations, and an aging population is more prone to chronic diseases, which creates more demand for effective pain management solutions is a major contributor to the market growth. The rising demand for personalized products is a key trend in this market. This trend presents an opportunity for manufacturers to develop personalized PNS devices that cater to individual patient needs.
