Conversely, development of wireless portable muscle stimulators is expected to offer lucrative opportunities during the forecast period. and availability of alternative therapies restrain the market growth.
However, lack of usage guidelines and safety concerns, regulatory uncertainties in the U.S. In addition, rise in awareness of electrical muscle stimulation therapies and increase in preference among physiotherapists about electrical muscle stimulation contribute toward growth of the muscle stimulator market. The growth of the global muscle stimulator market is driven by increase in popularity of sports coupled with surge in demand for fitness products, rise in geriatric population, and upsurge in incidence of musculoskeletal & neuromuscular disorders. Moreover, it serves as a testing tool for evaluating the neural and/or muscular function in vivo as well as a post-exercise recovery tool for athletes. In addition, it is used as a rehabilitation and preventive tool for people who are partially or totally immobilized.
Electrical muscle stimulation has gained high traction in the last few years, as it is utilized as a strength training tool for healthy subjects and athletes. Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses.
The global muscle stimulator market size was valued at $1,22,460.00 thousand in 2020, and is projected to reach $1,83,887.64 thousand by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.08% from 2021 to 2030.
