Which Factors are Driving Demand for Coronary Microcatheters?

“High Incidence of Cardiovascular Diseases across the Globe Will Uplift Market Growth’’

The world is facing a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases due to unhealthy diets and varying lifestyles among the population. Cardiovascular diseases are a prominent cause of death around the globe. Among them, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death among the U.S. population.

• For instance, in 2019, nearly 17.9 million deaths were noted owing to the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, i.e., more than 30% of total deaths universally.

Hence, rising cases of cardiovascular diseases across the globe will generate high demand for coronary microcatheters for better treatment and diagnosis purposes.

“Benefits of Microcatheters in Complex Cardiovascular Surgeries”

This publication states that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) typically needs microcatheters. Multivessel disease, convoluted coronary architecture, calcified and ostial lesions, and left main stem stenosis are more common in older people. However, because calcified lesions make preparing the target vessel, lesion access, and lesion challenging, doctors have been hesitant to send older patients for PCI procedures. In this scenario, microcatheters play a crucial role to treat such complicated coronary surgeries.

Due to considerable vascular angulation and calcification, investigations have demonstrated that microcatheters perform well in the treatment of calcified lesions in otherwise challenging procedures. A majority of fibrotic and severely calcified stenoses are now more amenable to treatment because of steerable coronary microcatheters.

What Hurdle Do Coronary Microcatheter Manufacturers Face?

“Stringent Regulations leading to Product Approval Delays”

The novel innovation comes with some advantages as well as risks; hence, government authorities such as the FDA are concerned regarding the safety of all medical devices. Due to stringent regulations by government bodies, manufacturers of coronary microcatheters are facing problems in gaining approvals for their innovative products.

Additionally, manufacturers need to take approval from FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and the CE Mark for manufacturing and using innovative coronary microcatheters.

Country-wise Insights

Will Rise in Cardiovascular Cases in the United States Drive High Demand for Coronary Microcatheters?

The U.S. market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. The U.S. observes several research collaborations among manufacturers as well as license agreements for various healthcare products. Huge technological advancements in the United States provide an opportunity for manufacturers to bring in innovative products for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Also, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among the U.S. population. The country has observed rising cases of cardiovascular diseases over the historical years. For example, in 2017, roughly 18.2 million individuals suffered from various cardiovascular diseases of age beyond 20 years among the U.S. population.

Why are Asia Pacific Countries Expected to Be Highly Opportunistic Markets?

APAC accounted for more than 30% share of the global coronary microcatheters market at the end of 2021. Growing population, changing lifestyles, and erratic eating habits in East Asia and South Asia and the ASEAN region are anticipated to increase the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. As a result, APAC will become an opportunistic regional market for industry players.

Additionally, rising per capita healthcare spending in countries such as China, Japan, and India is expected to be a promising factor for coronary microcatheters market growth. Furthermore, increasing government spending as well as initiatives will support market growth in China.

Category-wise Insights

Why are Single-lumen Coronary Microcatheters Most Widely Used?

The coronary microcatheters market, under product type, is categorized into single-lumen, duel-lumen, and guide extension. Amongst them, single-lumen coronary microcatheters held the largest market share of 53.6% in 2021 and the segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7% during the forecast years of 2022-2032.

Single-lumen coronary microcatheters are ordinary microcatheters used to provide backing to allow the placement of guidewires in a vessel. The dominance of single-lumen coronary microcatheters is because of their ease of handling and allowance of reshaping and exchange of wirer without misplacing the vessel entry.

Additionally, single-lumen microcatheters are chosen over wire balloon catheters owing to their ability to provide precise visualization of their tip location with the obtainability of a marker at the tip.

Which End User Accounts for High Revenue Generation?

In terms of end user, the market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, cardiac catheterization laboratories, and specialty clinics. Among them, hospitals account for a majority of the share in the global market and the segment is projected to hold 81.3% share of the market by 2032.

The reason behind this high dominance is the rising healthcare infrastructure and facilities across the world. Also, the availability of healthcare specialists helps increase the trust in hospital services among the population. Most cardiovascular surgeries are done in hospitals, due to which it is a favorable end-user segment for the sales of coronary microcatheters.
