In 2021/1H, the neuro-interventional industry attracted great enthusiasm from investors, but starting from 2021/2H, things began to change and investors quickly returned to rationality.
The major concerns are the product homogenization, fierce market competition and the negative impact of centralized procurement policy. We summarized our policy interpretation to help investors make a prediction.
In terms of future trends, the grassroots market and the international markets are the breakthrough points for domestic neuro-interventional enterprises, which would be the main criteria for decision-making.

While modern pharmacology has been able to produce new medicines to treat or manage most diseases, these drugs often cause unpredictable side effects, which sometimes lead to the development of secondary diseases, especially for chronic conditions. One possible alternative to the problem of sustained use of drugs is electro, radiation, and ultrasound therapy. 
In the area of electrotherapy, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/medtronic-plc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14982:1" rel="noopener">Medtronic Plc (MDT US)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/boston-scientific-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:11115:1" rel="noopener">Boston Scientific (BSX US)</a> are the clear leaders by far, with dominance in the number of innovations, positive mentions, and impact of their innovations. However, with the increased use of electrotherapy for pain management and physiotherapy smaller players with unique products now compete in specific silos. Three small-cap names that screen well technologically are <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nevro-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2218:1" rel="noopener">Nevro Corp (NVRO US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nuvasive-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8384:1" rel="noopener">Nuvasive Inc (NUVA US)</a>, and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/integer-holdings-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:18313:1" rel="noopener">Greatbatch Inc (ITGR US)</a>.
In Radiotherapy <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/siemens-healthineers-ag" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29221:1" rel="noopener">Siemens Healthineers AG (SHL GR)</a>  leads the field.  Surprisingly a private company Aerin Medical which provides treatment options for chronic nasal conditions and is a play on rising allergies and sleep apnoea comes in second
In Ultrasound therapy, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/johnson-johnson" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1132:1" rel="noopener">Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ US)</a> tops the list. A small-cap company <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/butterfly-network-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33050:1" rel="noopener">Butterfly Network Inc (BFLY US)</a> prima facie seems to have products that could potentially change the way ultrasound scans are performed as their technologies allow for use of small portable equipment in conjunction with a smartphone or tablet to create an ultrasound machine.
