The global intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) market size reached USD 3.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 6.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.88% during 2025-2033.
An intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) system comprises a group of procedures that can detect, monitor, and confirm nerve function and help minimize the odds of neurological problems during or after neurological surgical procedures. It reduces the risks of nerve function being damaged as a result of improper positioning of the patient or any neurophysiologically-relevant nerve structures. An IONM allows surgeons to identify electrophysiologic changes during spine, head or neck surgery, which may be crucial in extending incisions, placing implants, positioning limbs, and performing retraction techniques that can prevent permanent nerve damage. Using targeted neurostimulation, nerve structures can be identified to prevent potential damage, thus allowing surgeons to focus on optimizing interventions while preserving function. Consequently, these systems are extensively used in neuro, ENT, emergency, visceral, cardiothoracic, orthopedic, and vascular surgeries.
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) Market Trends:
The market is majorly driven by the augmenting focus on patient safety during complex surgical procedures. This can be attributed to a considerable rise in the prevalence of chronic neurovascular disorders, such as epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to this, the escalating demand for minimally invasive and non-invasive surgeries resulting in a higher uptake of advanced intraoperative neuromonitoring devices is propelling the market. Moreover, the growing trend of medical tourism across the globe is also creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market. The market is further driven by the expanding expenditure on advanced healthcare services. Some of the other factors providing an impetus to the market include the paradigm shift towards outsourced monitoring, the increasing geriatric population that is susceptible to developing neurological disorders, favorable government initiatives and reimbursement plans, and extensive research and development (R&D), collaborations, and joint ventures among the key players.
