Overview of the cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) market
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) market to grow at a CAGR of more than 8% by 2020. Factors such as rising incidences of cardiac disorders, advanced surgical procedures such as minimally invasive (MI) surgeries, patient awareness, and increasing healthcare spending are the primary growth drivers for the CRT-D market. Several clinical research studies indicate that when compared to CRT-P devices, the CRT-D devices can reduce re-admissions to the hospital for patients with heart failure, which is leading to their increased implementation in several cardiac procedures. Also, CRT-D devices lower the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and improve the left ventricular function.
One of the latest trends gaining prominence in the market is the development of CRT-D devices with MRI technology. The incorporation of this technology helps in better diagnosis of heart conditions and assist cardiologists in providing better treatment to patients. To minimize the manufacturing costs, several manufacturers are using such advanced technologies and materials to develop efficient devices. At present, several physicians are using 3D-MRI technique for better imaging.
Geographical segmentation and analysis of the CRT-D market
The Americas will be the largest revenue contributing region in the market by 2020 and is expected to occupy more than 55% of the total market share. The rising incidences of cardiac disorders and growing awareness about cardiac diseases are the primary growth drivers for this region. Factors such as growing number of implant centers, technological advancements and easy availability of reimbursements will propel the sales of CRT-D devices in the region.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
Intense competition prevails in this market with increased product portfolio extensions, advances in technology, and reduced average selling prices. To gain a competitive edge over their peers, vendors are developing devices with long-lasting batteries. Large vendors are acquiring small companies to increase their market share and their geographic reach in the market. The market is expected to witness the entry of several multinational companies during the forecast period.
Key vendors in the market are -
- Medtronic
- St. Jude Medical
- Boston Scientific
- LivaNova
Other prominent vendors in the CRT-D market are BIOTRONIK, Cook Medical, and The Spectranetics.
Growth drivers, challenges, and upcoming trends: Robotic-assistance cardiac surgeries
