IONM Market: Segmental Overview

Neurosurgery segment is going to dominate the market during the forecast period

Outsourced intraoperative neuromonitoring is growing at a rapid pace due to its benefits over in-sourced monitoring. Hospitals prefer outsourced monitoring as it eliminates the need for purchase of premium priced Intraoperative neuromonitoring capital equipment and avoid the requirement to appoint full-time IONM professionals.

In terms of modality, the EP segment dominated the market with a major share of 68.25% of the global IONM market due to its broad range of surgical applications and the high utilization rate. This segment is anticipated to be driven at a slightly growth rate during 2016−2022 and will retain to be major segment of the global Intraoperative neuromonitoring market by modality type during the forecast period. In terms of the growth rate, orthopedic surgeries are likely to grow at a higher CAGR than other surgical types. However, neurosurgery will remain the major revenue contributor during the forecast period in the application segment.

IONM Market: Geographical Analysis

IONM market in North America to be the largest market

The primary factor for the high share of North America in the global IONM market is the existence of the favorable and constantly improving reimbursement scenario in the region. The penetration of Intraoperative neuromonitoring devices is significantly higher in the US than other developed or developing countries worldwide. Their demand in this region is also rapidly growing increased in rate of utilization of IONM for varied surgeries and due to increase in demand for out-sourced  services. Europe is the second largest market, followed by APAC, Latin America, and MEA.
