Straits Research released its highly anticipated report, “Global Vagus Nerve Stimulation Market Size & Outlook, 2026-2034”. According to the study, the global market size is valued at USD 575.81 million in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 974.30 million by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.06%.
The growth of the global vagus nerve stimulation market is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of neurological disorders, including epilepsy and other chronic conditions, which is increasing the demand for effective treatment options. Healthcare professionals are actively promoting neurostimulation therapies such as VNS to achieve better clinical outcomes. Moreover, rising investments in research and development and collaborations between medical device manufacturers and healthcare institutions are accelerating innovation in neurostimulation technologies.
However, the market faces restraints such as the high cost of VNS devices and procedures, which limit patient accessibility, particularly in low and middle-income regions. Additionally, stringent regulatory requirements for approval and reimbursement pose challenges for market entry and expansion.
On the other hand, expanding VNS applications into emerging indications and novel patient populations presents substantial untapped potential. Increasing clinical trials exploring VNS for conditions such as chronic pain and inflammatory diseases are opening new avenues for market growth. Furthermore, growing awareness among physicians and patients regarding non-pharmacological treatment options is likely to strengthen adoption and support long-term market expansion.
