Rising prevalence of neurological disorders to drive market growth

Neuroendoscopy procedures are increasingly being used for the treatment of a number of neurological disorders, such as pineal region tumors, pituitary tumors, Rathke's cleft cysts, skull base tumors, and ventricular tumors. Its use is also growing in neuro-oncology, conducting brain biopsies, and the treatment of hydrocephalus.

According to GLOBOCAN 2012, the brain and nervous system cancer incidence rate was expected to increase by 6.6% from 2012 to 2015, globally. Similarly, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015, neurological disorders were ranked as the leading cause group for disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2015 (approximately 250.7 million DALYs or 10.2% of global DALYs) and the second-leading cause group for deaths (~9.4 million or 16.8% of global deaths). Between 1990 and 2015, the number of deaths from neurological disorders increased by 36.7%, and the number of DALYs by 7.4%. As a result of the rising burden of neurological disorders, the number of neurosurgical procedures is growing across the globe. According to the NHS (2013), the number of neurosurgical procedures in the UK has been increasing steadily at an annual growth rate of 2–5%; in-patient hospital surgeries have reached 1,400 per million population in larger neurosurgical units, and operative caseload is typically 1,000 cases per million population.

As neuroendoscopy is considered as the gold standard for brain cancer diagnosis and treatment, the growing prevalence of neurological disorders and the subsequent growth in the number of neurosurgical procedures are expected to support the growth of the neuroendoscopy market in the coming years.

Rising prevalence of neurological disorders and benefits of neuroendoscopic surgeries over conventional brain surgery

Neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows surgeons to perform complex brain operations through very small incisions using neuroendoscopes. A neuroendoscope is a small telescope-like device equipped with a high-resolution video camera and an eyepiece at the end to allow the neurosurgeon to navigate and access tumors in the brain. These instruments are used to illuminate, examine, and document difficult to access areas. Neuroendoscopic devices are used to perform operations for conditions such as obstructive hydrocephalus, various intraventricular lesions, hypothalamic hamartomas, craniosynostosis, and skull base tumors.

Various types of neuroendoscopes are available in the market such as rigid neuroendoscopes and flexible neuroendoscopes. However, rigid neuroendoscope dominates the market, due to the benefits of rigid neuroendoscopes such as superior optics, reusability due to autoclaving, and high device strength.

The global Neuroendoscopy market size is projected to reach USD 218.9 million by 2022, largely due to the favorable government initiatives, rising prevalence of neurological disorders. The benefits of neuroendoscopic surgery over conventional brain surgery are likely to propel further growth of Neuroendoscopy devices in the long-term forecast.

The high cost of neuroendoscopy procedures & equipment is the major restraint for the market.

The average list price of a neuroendoscopy system is as high as USD 10,000 to USD 15,000. Healthcare providers particularly in developing countries such as India, Brazil, and Mexico have low financial resources to invest in such costly sophisticated technologies. Moreover, healthcare staff needs to be trained for the efficient handling and maintenance of neuroendoscopy systems and equipment. This is a major issue as training costs for neuroendoscopic procedures are high. Considering the high cost of training, only a limited number of surgeons opt for undergoing training for neuroendoscopy (Source: Journal of Surgical Simulation). Owing to the high cost of equipment as well as the high training and maintenance costs, neuroendoscopy procedures are generally expensive. This is a major factor restraining the growth of the neuroendoscopy devices market.

Future growth opportunities are going to be dependent on growing healthcare market in emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS), as they are among the fastest-growing economies in the world. The World Economic Forum has estimated that these emerging economies will account for around one-third of the global healthcare expenditure by 2020. More than half of the world’s population resides in India and China, owing to which these countries are home to a large patient base.

Market Dynamics

Leading manufacturers are developing sustainable and innovative solutions for applications of neuroendoscopes to drive the industry forward

Transnasal Neuroendoscopy

Transnasal procedures help surgeons to approach the anterior cranial base, parasellar region, clivus, cavernous sinus, and craniovertebral junction in a less invasive manner as compared to conventional neurosurgery techniques. Transnasal neuroendoscopy is indicated for biopsies, removal of cysts, and removal of pituitary gland tumors and other obstructions. The advantages of transnasal neuroendoscopy include increased visualization with high light intensity in the deep-seated surgical field, clear display of patho-anatomical details, and extended viewing angle of neuroendoscopes (which enables surgeons to observe hidden parts of the surgical field).

Intraventricular Neuroendoscopy

Neuroendoscopic surgery for intraventricular brain tumors is one of the major applications of neuroendoscopy. This approach is used in selective conditions, such as tumor biopsy, concordant CSF diversion, treatment of non-communicating hydrocephalus, management of pineal tumor patients, fenestration of intracranial cysts, and removal of fibroid cysts. Factors such as the ease of use, increased visibility, and treatment of a large number of neurological conditions will drive the growth of this segment.

Transcranial Neuroendoscopy

Transcranial neuroendoscopy is used in the diagnosis and treatment of larger tumors with significant suprasellar extension. There are two types of endoscopic transcranial approaches transglabellar or supraorbital which are widely used by neurosurgeons. The transcranial approach is more invasive as compared to the transnasal neuroendoscopic approach. However, in order to reduce trauma, this procedure is used in conjunction with transnasal neuroendoscopy.

The global neuroendoscopy market is expected to reach USD 218.9 million by 2022 from USD 170.5 million in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Factors such favorable government initiatives, rising prevalence of neurological disorders, and benefits of neuroendoscopic surgery over conventional brain surgery are driving the growth of this market. The report segments the global neuroendoscopy market into product, application, usability, and region.

Based on product, the market is classified into rigid neuroendoscopes and flexible neuroendoscopes. The rigid endoscopes segment is further divided into videoscopes and fiberscopes. The rigid neuroendoscopes segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This high growth can be attributed to the benefits of rigid neuroendoscopes such as superior optics, reusability due to autoclaving, and high device strength.

The global neuroendoscopy market, by application, is segmented into intraventricular neuroendoscopy, transcranial neuroendoscopy, and transnasal neuroendoscopy. The transnasal neuroendoscopy segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the benefits provided by transnasal neuroendoscopy such as increased visualization with high light intensity in the deep-seated surgical field, clear display of patho-anatomical details, and extended viewing angle of neuroendoscopes (which enables surgeons to observe hidden parts of the surgical field).

Based on usability, the neuroendoscopy market is segmented into reusable neuroendoscopes and disposable neuroendoscopes. In 2017, the reusable neuroendoscopes segment accounted for the largest share of the market. This large share is mainly attributed to factors such as cost-effectiveness of reusable devices as they can be used in multiple procedures after procurement.

The market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). The dominance of the North American market is attributed to factors such as favorable government initiatives, rising prevalence of neurological disorders, increasing investments by hospitals to purchase new neuroendoscopy equipment, and increasing research activities.
