An implantable pulse generator (IPG) is a medical device used to deliver electrical impulses to specific nerves or muscles within the body. It is commonly employed in neuromodulation therapies to manage conditions such as chronic pain or movement disorders. The IPG is surgically implanted under the skin and can be programmed to adjust stimulation levels as required.
The primary types of implantable pulse generators include implantable cardiac pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, cochlear implants, implantable nerve stimulators (functional electrical stimulation or FES), implantable infusion pumps, and implantable active monitoring devices. Implantable cardiac pacemakers, for example, are devices placed in the chest to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by delivering electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. They come in rechargeable and non-rechargeable variants and are used for cardiovascular diseases, movement disorders, orthopedic conditions, and other health issues. End users of these devices include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, home care settings, and clinics.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The implantable pulse generator market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides Implantable pulse generator market statistics, including the implantable pulse generator industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with an implantable pulse generator market share, detailed implantable pulse generator market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the implantable pulse generator industry. This implantable pulse generator market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The implantable pulse generator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $133.75 billion in 2024 to $147.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a large number of home healthcare facilities, higher adoption of neuromodulation in disease management, higher diagnosis rate of the patients, increasing usage of medical devices and higher patient awareness.
The implantable pulse generator market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $221.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare expenditure, patient preferences for less intrusive treatments, favorable reimbursement policies, expansion of application areas, and growing application of implants in therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturization of devices, enhanced battery life, development of wireless connectivity, smart implantable devices, and integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The forecast of 10.8% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on programmable microprocessors and biocompatible titanium shells, sourced from key regions such as Mexico and Brazil, which could lead to delays in deep brain stimulation procedures and higher costs for neurological implant surgeries.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is expected to drive the growth of the implantable pulse generator market. Neurological disorders affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, impacting movement, sensation, and cognition. The rise in these disorders is linked to factors such as an aging population, lifestyle changes, environmental influences, and advancements in diagnostic techniques. Implantable pulse generators assist in managing neurological disorders by delivering targeted electrical impulses to modulate abnormal neural activity and alleviate symptoms. For example, as reported by the Parkinson Foundation in December 2022, the number of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the U.S. was 930,000 by 2020, with projections indicating it will reach 1.2 million by 2030. Thus, the growing incidence of neurological disorders is fueling the expansion of the implantable pulse generator market.
Companies in the implantable pulse generator market are focusing on developing advanced neuromodulation devices to improve treatment effectiveness, patient outcomes, and broaden the range of conditions treated. Neuromodulation devices alter nerve activity by delivering electrical or pharmaceutical agents to specific areas of the nervous system. For instance, in November 2022, CVRx Inc., a U.S.-based medical device company, introduced the Barostim NEO2 IPG, a new implantable pulse generator designed for patients undergoing therapy. The Barostim system uses neuromodulation to alleviate heart failure symptoms by delivering electrical pulses to the baroreceptors in the carotid artery, activating the body's baroreflex and inducing an autonomic response in the heart. The goal is to restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and reduce heart failure symptoms.
In March 2021, Bioventus Inc., a U.S.-based medical device company, acquired Bioness Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Bioventus to leverage Bioness's extensive range of medical devices and technologies, which support recovery for patients with conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and osteoarthritis. The portfolio includes specialized electrical stimulation devices and robotic systems critical for patient rehabilitation. Bioness Inc. is a U.S.-based company known for its electromedical devices.
