Peripheral nerve injury encompasses any damage or impairment affecting the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves situated outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves play a vital role in transmitting signals between the central nervous system (CNS) and the rest of the body, facilitating sensation, movement, and motor coordination.
The primary product categories for addressing peripheral nerve injuries include nerve conduits, nerve protectors, nerve connectors, and nerve wraps. Nerve protectors are medical devices or materials utilized to shield and safeguard nerves from harm or injury during surgical procedures. Various types of injuries, such as traumatic, compression, and surgical injuries, are treated through diverse surgical interventions such as direct nerve repair, nerve grafting, and stem cell therapy. These interventions find application in a range of areas such as upper extremities and lower extremities, catering to diverse end-users including hospitals and clinics, rehabilitation centers, and home care settings.
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 peripheral nerve injury market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides peripheral nerve injury market statistics, including peripheral nerve injury industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a peripheral nerve injury market share, detailed peripheral nerve injury market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the peripheral nerve injury industry. This peripheral nerve injury market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The peripheral nerve injuries market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.93 billion in 2024 to $4.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased age-related disorders, such as osteoporosis and arthritis.
The peripheral nerve injuries market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.95 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing incidence trauma, accidents, sports injuries, increasing chronic conditions like diabetes, increasing aging population, increasing patient compliance, and improving quality of life, rising prevalence of peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) globally. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in nerve repair, advancements in diagnostic technologies, development of artificial nerve implant, emerging therapies, focus on personalized medicine.
The forecast of 12.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% 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 supply chain disruptions for nerve guidance conduits and electrodiagnostic testing electrodes, key imports from Canada and Australia, delaying nerve regeneration treatments.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 rising number of accidents is expected to fuel the growth of the peripheral nerve injuries market in the future. This increase in accidents can be attributed to various factors, including urbanization, which leads to higher traffic volumes, lifestyle changes, environmental conditions, and distracted behaviors. Peripheral nerve injuries often require comprehensive treatment approaches to reduce their effects and promote recovery. Emerging treatments such as stem cell therapy, growth factor administration, and gene therapy show promise for improving nerve regeneration and functional recovery in accident-related injuries. For example, in May 2023, the Department for Transport, a UK government agency, reported that the number of fatalities on UK roads rose from 1,560 in 2021 to 1,695 in 2022. As a result, the growing incidence of accidents is driving the peripheral nerve injuries market.
The growing use of minimally invasive surgeries is expected to drive the expansion of the peripheral nerve injuries market in the coming years. Minimally invasive surgeries involve small incisions, specialized tools, and advanced imaging techniques, aiming to reduce patient recovery time, pain, and the risk of complications. The rise in these surgeries is driven by factors such as shorter recovery times, lower complication risks, and improved patient outcomes. Treating peripheral nerve injuries requires precise, targeted techniques to prevent damage to surrounding tissues, leading to the development of advanced surgical tools like robotic systems, endoscopic instruments, and precision-guided technologies. These innovations allow for more accurate procedures with minimal incisions, lowering the risk of nerve damage and enhancing recovery. For example, in August 2023, The Aesthetic Society, a U.S.-based organization of plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine, reported that Americans spent over $11.8 billion on aesthetic procedures, a 2% increase from the previous year. As a result, the rise in minimally invasive surgeries is driving the growth of the peripheral nerve injuries market.
Key players in the peripheral nerve injuries market are channeling investments into research and development of nerve injury therapeutics, aiming to improve nerve regeneration, enhance functional outcomes, and address the unmet medical needs of affected patients. These investments fuel progress and innovation in the peripheral nerve injuries market, leading to the creation of advanced therapies, better patient outcomes, and improved quality of life for individuals grappling with nerve injuries. For instance, in October 2022, NervGen Pharma Corp., a Canadian pharmaceutical company, secured funding of up to $1.5 million from the US Department of Defense (DoD) to assess its investigational therapeutic NVG-291-R for peripheral nerve injury (PNI) treatment. This funding would support preclinical research to demonstrate the efficacy of NVG-291-R in enhancing nerve regeneration post-PNI.
