• Rising prevalence of neurological conditions

The World Health Organization (WHO) focuses on research in areas that are important for public health promotion. Recently, WHO has been particularly interested in frequent and disabling neurological disorders with a high burden on the world. Neurological disorders occur among all age groups and different geographical regions. They significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality around the world. The neurological burden of disease is expected to grow exponentially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the next decade.

The rising prevalence of neurological conditions such as transnasal hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, depression, and Parkinson's is expected to drive market growth.

Thus, increasing neurological disorders such as transnasal hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are fueling market growth. Neurological conditions have become a major public health crisis which is expected to boost the growth of the global neurosurgery market.

Restraint

• The high cost associated with neurosurgeries and equipment

A significant increase in the cost of neurosurgical products has been observed in recent years, which end users such as hospitals and neurosurgical centers have to incur. Products such as neurovascular embolization devices, neurovascular coiling devices, and neuroendoscopes are quite costly. Manufacturers are also giving more resources to research and development to introduce cost-effective and advanced technology. Some complex neurosurgeries require extensive time as well as effort, and they are also quite risky. These complex procedures need advanced techniques and skills, and because of this, the cost of equipment and neurosurgeries increases. The maintenance of such facilities and continuous requirement of power supply add up to the cost of the surgeries. Decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an expensive procedure that is also associated with high morbidity and mortality.

The cost associated with neurosurgery procedures is quite high, which is expected to act as a restrain for the market growth.

Opportunity

• Rising awareness about neurological disorders

With the rising global population, a large portion of the geriatric section is getting affected by neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, stroke, brain tumor, dementia, and multiple sclerosis, among others. So, understanding neurological disorders is important, and awareness about neurological conditions can lead to seeking medical attention, which results in proper diagnosis and effective treatment. All neurological disorders account for 82.8%. The massive fold increases the burden of neurological disorders that can be attributed to a lack of awareness about neurological disorders and treatment, which lead to delayed detection, and lack of access to quality healthcare and rehabilitation centers. Rising healthcare programs and increasing funding from governments and public healthcare agencies help reduce the burden of neurological disorders and develop neurological products that act in favor of market growth.

Rising awareness about neurological disorders is beneficial for the neurosurgery market. In most regions, many governmental and non-governmental are carry some awareness programs for the early detection of neurological conditions.
