Intrathecal pumps market application analysis
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global intrathecal pumps market to grow at a steady CAGR of around 4% by 2020. The increasing prevalence of chronic pain and the subsequent need for better treatments and cost-effective therapies are the major drivers of the market. Besides being safe to use, these pumps are portable, accurate, and operate with low power consumption.
Also, there are several unmet needs despite the use of oral therapies which has accelerated the use of technically advanced intrathecal devices for long-term pain management. The rise in awareness about the need for diagnosis and technological advances in intrathecal pumps for effective treatment will increase the adoption of intrathecal pumps in the coming years.
Intrathecal pumps market trends
The market is witnessing significant improvements and advancements in intrathecal pumps, which are aimed at reducing chronic pain. Researchers have come up with infusion pumps that can deliver multiple medications through a single infusion pump such as the use of bupivacaine in treating neuropathic pain and morphine in treating nociceptive pain. Also, some vendors are focusing on the miniaturization of the device pump and better battery consumption to enhance the efficiency of intrathecal devices. Such product modifications assure accurate drug administration with minimal error rates.
Intrathecal pumps market segmentation by application
- Pain management
- Spasticity management
The pain management segment will be the leading segment in the market by 2020, in terms of application, and will occupy around 68% of the total market share. The major factors for this segment’s growth include rising prevalence of chronic medical conditions, the launch of technologically advanced therapeutic products, changing patient demographics, increasing geriatric population, and favorable reimbursement policies.
Intrathecal pumps market regions
