The global acupuncture needles market was valued at $95.8 million in 2018 and is expected to reach $177.7 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 8.2% from 2019 to 2026. Acupuncture needles are used as pain relievers, as they provide muscle relaxation and relieve pain & stress. This energy is circulated through the body via several energy pathways called meridians. Each of these pathways or channels are linked to an internal organ. It is mostly used to treat body pain, headache, migraines, joint conditions, post-operative pain, nausea, menstrual cramps, insomnia, speech disorders, and paralysis.
The adoption of acupuncture needles for pain management has increased over a period. This is attributed to the fact that chronic pain management has become a global health concern, which considerably increases the use of acupuncture needles. Furthermore, a significant increase in the adoption of acupuncture needles in developed economies, such as the U.S., acts as a key driver for the global market. However, due to insertion of needles to a certain depth in human skin, the practice of acupuncture may pose risks to the recipients. Transmission of pathogenic microorganisms is one of the most crucial acupuncture associated complications. Thereby, increased risk of infection transmission poses as a restrain for the market growth. Furthermore, its rise in popularity, particularly in developed nations, can be attributed to its effectiveness against pain relief and the fact that scientific studies have begun to prove its efficacy. Acupuncture treatment is now increasingly used for various conditions in addition to pain management, thereby, creates lucrative opportunities for the market.
