Increasing incidence of trauma and emergency cases such as cardiac arrest and stroke in young population is expected to increase ED visits in the coming years.

In addition, more than 240,000 people have a transient ischemic attack each year.

In addition, the high risk of transmission of infection, especially during the flu season in winter in the U.S., is expected to boost the market growth. According to the CDC National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, in 2021, cough and fever accounted for 4,655 & 4,650 ED visits, respectively, in the U.S. Measures are being taken to check hospital emergency department responses to infectious diseases.

Moreover, the increasing introduction of new facilities that provide advanced neurological treatment for ED visits is expected to boost market growth. For instance, in January 2023, NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County opened the Brooklyn Neuroscience Center. The facility has skilled staff to treat disorders of the peripheral nervous system, spine, and brain of patients of all ages
