Outlook of the vascular closure devices market
Vascular closure devices are used for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and help in endovascular imaging to detect coronary artery diseases. The rising preference for minimally invasive procedures with improved medical imaging is a major factor spurring the growth this market. At present, many medical facilities have started opting for procedures that involve the use of radiotherapy and imaging technologies. This shift towards imaging technologies helps healthcare facilities to expand their treatment options for peripheral vascular diseases (PVD). If left untreated, PVD can cause heart attacks and stroke and may even lead to death. Consequently, to treat this condition, physicians have started performing angioplasty or insert stents in the blood vessels through small incisions by minimally invasive surgeries. Due to the widespread applicability of vascular closure devices, Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that this market will grow at a steady CAGR of nearly 9% during the forecast period.
The global vascular closure devices market is dominated by the Americas, which accounted for approximately 45% of the total market share in 2015. The US was the key revenue generator for the market in this region. An increasing number of angiography procedures, patient's preference to visit cath-labs, and rising adoption of vascular closure devices for minimally invasive procedures are the key elements that contributed to the growth of this market. Additionally, factors such as recent advances in technology, in terms of product design and usage, and the availability of reimbursements for catheterization have also bolstered the prospects for market growth in the US.
