Increasing smoking rate, tobacco consumption and incidence of bacterial infection causing mental instability are the factors primarily responsible for growing cases of mental disorders. The increasing aging population is resulting in increasing geriatric patients receiving ECT. ECT device of two types: bilateral ECT, in which electrodes are placed in either side of your head. This type if device effect the entire brain. Unilateral ECT one electrode is placed on top of the brain and another electrode is placed in the right side of the brain. In some hospital, ECT is performed with ultra-brief pulses which last for half a millisecond pulse compared to the standard pulses. Shorter pulses are expected to help prevent memory loss after the procedure.

Based on the end user, the global electroconvulsive therapy device market has been segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, mental hospitals and others. Mental Hospital end user segment is anticipated to contribute the maximum share among end users.

Based on the regional presence, global electroconvulsive therapy device market is segmented into five key regions viz. North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. North America will continue to dominate the global electroconvulsive therapy device market for due to high prevalence of mental disorders. Europe is expected to hold second largest market share in global electroconvulsive therapy device market.
