Sensorimotor Neuropathy Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

• Rising awareness for peripheral neuropathy: The sensorimotor neuropathy is experiencing rapid growth owing to the surge in the public consciousness and medical awareness towards peripheral neuropathy. For instance, in October 2022, it was updated by the National Library of Medicine that, about 2.4% of the world population is affected by peripheral nerve disorders, an increase up to 8% in older populations. In addition, in September 2023, by July 2020, it provided data on 2,334 patients with neuropathic pain. It unveiled that, 38% patients were self-referred to a neurologist, while 27% by a general practitioner, and 12% by an oncologist, and psychological support was given to 8.1%.
  
  Moreover, increased awareness is driving increasing demand for diagnostic equipment, treatment modalities, and supportive care services and thereby forging a strong sensorimotor neuropathy market growth trajectory in related medical devices, drugs, and rehabilitation therapy. For instance, in October 2023, Rhythmlink International, LLC made the announcement of a new product family, concentric needles, that complements their current line of products designed exclusively for EMG and NCV studies. The concentric needle is available in four sizes or gauges, which also differ in needle diameter, length and color, corresponding to currently accepted workflows.
   
• Growing adoption of precision medicine: A significant growth driver for the sensorimotor neuropathy market is the growing upsurge in the use of precision medicine. For instance, in November 2023, the NIH stated that, in 2021, diabetes was more prevalent in high-income countries, at a rate of 11.1% as compared to low-income countries (5.5%). These estimates are highlighting the imperative need for effective prevention, management, and healthcare measures to meet the expanding burden of diabetes globally and combat the neuropathy incidences.
  
  Moreover, it has the ability to identify unique genetic and molecular origins of individual patient neuropathies, precision medicine enables one to develop personalized therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools. For instance, in December 2024, NeuroKaire raised USD 10 million in funding to move development of its clinical test that aids in the identification of drug efficacy for depression patients. This capital allowed the firm to scale up operations and continue to expand pharmaceutical collaborations. Such personalized strategy can enhance the effectiveness of treatment, enhance patient stratification for clinical trials, and eventually propel market expansion for sensorimotor neuropathic disorder.

Challenges

• Complexity and Heterogeneity as a hurdle: The intrinsic complexity and intrinsic heterogeneity are the largest barriers to progress in sensorimotor neuropathy market. The etiologic heterogeneity, from genetic mutations and metabolic derangements to autoimmune diseases and toxicities, and the heterogeneity of nerve fiber involvement and clinical presentation make it difficult to define universally effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Such heterogeneity requires sophisticated knowledge of patient profiles on an individualized basis and makes identification of broad-spectrum treatments impossible. As a result, management of such complexity calls for advanced diagnostic methods that can differentiate specific neuropathy subtypes and etiologic mechanisms.
   
• Obstacle in early and accurate diagnosis: In the sensorimotor neuropathy market, difficulty diagnosis the disease earlier and accurately, pose a major challenge. The typically insidious onset and non-specificity of initial symptoms, potentially overlapping with other systemic or neurological diseases, cause delay of diagnosis. Delayed or erroneous diagnoses may thus preclude the timely application of specific treatments that could avoid permanent damage to nerves and loss of function. It involves overcoming diagnostic hurdles such as the creation and verification of novel biomarkers, improvement of electrophysiological and imaging technologies towards greater sensitivity.
