Research on the global electrotherapy market size shows the market is expected to reach USD 1.30 billion in 2028 and register a CAGR of 3.9% throughout the forecast period. Technological advancements in medical sector is predicted to boost revenue growth of the electrotherapy market.
Electrotherapy is a painless and non-invasive treatment that uses electric currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. These are battery-operated devices attached by wires and adhesive electrode pads that are placed on the skin surface and low-intensity currents are passed across affected area. Electrotherapy is used in various medical applications including, pain management, tissue repair, and cardiology. It is mainly used to restore a range of motions, improve blood circulation, sensation, and muscle strength. Electrotherapy is most commonly used by therapists and athletes for management of sports injuries. Increasing incidence of sports injuries and chronic pain is fueling demand for electrotherapy.
Rising awareness about adverse effects of painkillers is augmenting demand for electrotherapy among patients suffering from severe and chronic nerve pain. In addition, increasing geriatric population has led to a rise in incidence of chronic diseases globally and is expected to boost revenue growth of the global market for electrotherapy during the forecast period.
However, low awareness regarding utilization of electrotherapy techniques in developing economies along with availability of better alternatives to electrotherapy in some developed countries is expected to restrain market growth to some extent over the forecast period.
