Coronary guidewires market trends
Nitinol utilization has increased tremendously in surgical and medical specialties, both on therapeutic and diagnostic sides, due to its biocompatibility and thermo-mechanical characteristics. Nitinol can overcome a wide range of design and technical issues. Nitinol provides excellent biocompatibility, recovering elongation, resistivity, steerability, and superelasticity, which are favorable in manufacturing the vascular guidewires. The market analysis identifies the rise in the use of nitinol in coronary guidewires as one of the key trends behind the growth of this market.
Coronary guidewires market growth: Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market is moderately competitive and fragmented due to several global and regional players competing in terms of quality, features, and capability. The vendors adopt competitive pricing to secure their market share and engage in M&A’s to grow inorganically by acquiring regional or local players. The competition will further increase due to technological innovations, product extensions, and an increase in M&A’s.
The leading vendors in the coronary guidewires market
