Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Muscle Stimulator Market


The global muscle stimulator market size was valued at USD 589.09 million in 2016. It is expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. Increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, growing popularity of muscle stimulation devices among physiotherapists, and technological advancements are the key trends estimated to stoke market growth.
 
Poor body posture, lack of fitness activities, and unhealthy diet are common factors causing musculoskeletal disorders.According to data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), in 2016, about 41.0% of the population of Great Britain were affected by musculoskeletal disorders.
Introduction of technologically advanced products such as wearable muscle stimulation devices is projected to drive the market over the forecast period. Increasing research activities that are resulting in breakthrough technologies are also poised to open new avenues for the growth of the market. SmartMio is the first wearable muscle stimulator that was launched in 2014 by Smartmissimo. This device can connect with a smartphone through Bluetooth and delivers electrical stimulation in small doses that can enhance workout. This device is mainly used by sportspersons.
Similarly, PowerDot - a compact and wearable muscle stimulation device launched in 2017, is used to prevent muscle soreness and tightening. Increasing demand for wireless and portable muscle stimulation devices along with their compatibility with smartphones is creating growth opportunities for market players.

Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: Global Muscle Stimulator Market


Based on products, the market is divided into neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), functional electrical stimulation (FES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential (IF), burst mode alternating current (BMAC), microcurrent EMS (MENS), and others. The TENS segment held the largest market share in 2016 and is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.
Increasing cases of arthritis and sports injuries are some of the prominent factors augmenting the market. As per the Arthritis Foundation, in the U.S., arthritis is the leading cause of disability among adults. Infants and children also get affected by this disability. TENS is one of the most effective procedures for such cases.
Modality Insights
On the basis of modality, the market is segmented into handheld, portable, and tabletop devices. Portable devices dominated the market in 2016 and are estimated to witness the highest CAGR of about 4.6% during the forecast period. Portable muscle stimulators are used extensively for preventing muscle atrophy, relaxation of muscle spasms, muscle re-education, managing chronic pain due to arthritis, and increasing blood circulation. Some of the key players in the market offer various innovative products in this segment. For instance, NeuroMetrix, Inc. offers wearable pain relief kit. It is a TENS unit that fits like a brace on patients and provides stimulation for pain relief.
Application Insights
Pain management, neurological disorder, musculoskeletal disorder, and others are the key application areas in the muscle stimulation market. In 2016, pain management dominated the market and held around 54.0% of the global market. Pain management is expected to register tremendous growth during the forecast period due to increasing cases of arthritis and cancer.
 
As per the Arthritis Foundation, in the U.S., arthritis is the leading cause of disability among adults. It is also reported that, in 2017, approximately 300,000 babies and children had rheumatic condition. Rising geriatric population is also triggering the demand for muscle stimulation devices for pain management.
End-use Insights
Hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), physiotherapy clinics, sports clinics, and home care are the primary end-use segments reviewed in the report. Physiotherapy clinics represented the largest share in the market in 2016. The segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. Muscle stimulation devices are extensively used in physiotherapy clinics for pain management and musculoskeletal disorders.
According to CDC, physiotherapy clinics have approximately 70.0 million patients with musculoskeletal disorder visiting annually. High number of patient visits is likely to stimulate the growth of the segment. However, a physiotherapy session can cost around USD 50 to USD 350 or more, rendering it unaffordable for patients who are not covered by medical insurance. This may act as a factor limiting the growth of the market.
