Spinal Needles Market Trends

• Increasing prevalence of spinal stenosis and neurological disorder

Spinal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the compression of nerve roots by several pathological factors related to cord dysfunction elicited by a combination of mechanical compression and degenerative instability. The symptom of spinal stenosis includes weakness, pain, and numbness. A research article published in the American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery (AIMIS) in 2018 describes that approximately 250,000-500,000 suffer from spinal stenosis representing 1 per 1000 persons older than 65 years and about 5 of every 1,000 persons older than 50 years in America. This rising aging population suffering from spinal stenosis clearly demands an effective surgical intervention. Thus, this factor boosts the market growth of spinal needles.

Furthermore, an increasing number of neurological disorders also act as a driving factor for market growth. According to the data published in Front Range Spine and Neurosurgery in 2018, more than 600 neurological conditions have been identified, affecting hundreds of millions globally.
