Sales Analysis of Diagnostic Catheters from 2016 -2020 Vs. Future Market Outlook for 2021 - 2031

The global diagnostic catheters market flourished at a CAGR of around 5.3% from 2016 to 2020, reaching a valuation of US$ 3.6 Bn in the year 2020.

Catheters are flexible tubes used in numerous medical procedures such as neurosurgery, angioplasty, and cardiac electrophysiology. Diagnostic catheters are hollow plastic tubes of 2-3 mm diameter that are inserted into the veins or arteries of the neck, leg, or arm under local anaesthesia. They can be used to measure blood pressure in the chambers of the heart, collect blood samples, and perform angiographies.

Increasing cases of cardiovascular disorders, growing technological developments in the imaging catheters, and increasing imaging and diagnostic centres will likely accelerate the growth of the market across the forecast period.

What are Some Lucrative Growth Opportunities for Diagnostic Catheter Suppliers?

Demand for diagnostic catheters is quite high owing to their localization and mapping capabilities. Companies are coming up with latest technologies so as to drive revenue of the said market through higher sales. Emphasis on the introduction of cost-effective product lines depends on the requirement of end users.

With rapidly growing demand for diagnostic catheters from the medical industry and continual technological developments in the product line of diagnostic catheters, the market is expected to grow creating lucrative opportunities for manufacturers.

How are Technological Advancements in Diagnostic Catheters Propelling Market Growth?
