Global Electrophysiology Diagnostic Catheters Market 2017-2021

This market research study identifies St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific, Biosense Webster, Medtronic, and Biotronik as the leading players in the global electrophysiology diagnostic catheters market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by product (conventional EP diagnostic catheters and advanced EP diagnostic catheters), by end-user (hospitals, diagnostic centers or EP labs, and ASCs), and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global electrophysiology diagnostic catheters market

According to Technavio’s market research report, the global electrophysiology diagnostic catheters market will grow at a CAGR of more than 9% during the forecast period. The increasing use of minimally invasive (MI) techniques is one of the key drivers that will have a positive influence on the market’s growth till 2021. There is a growing demand for MI techniques for managing patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia observed in these patients. MI surgeries such as cardiac ablation procedures are used to destroy areas in the heart that causes heart rhythm problems. This technique is gaining popularity over conventional surgeries, radiation therapy, and systematic chemotherapy and is used to manage diseases such as tumors. Consequently, the demand for electrophysiology (EP) diagnostic catheters for patients undergoing diagnosis for cardiac arrhythmia will increase during the estimated period. Patients highly prefer MI surgeries over traditional open surgeries because it reduces the risk of infection, causes minimal complications, involves a shorter hospital stay, and enables faster recovery.

The US is witnessing a high adoption of advanced EP catheters due to the growing prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia and the increasing aging population. This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, the Americas accounted for the majority shares of the EP diagnostic catheters market during 2016.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The EP diagnostic catheters market is highly concentrated with the presence of diversified international players and local vendors. Many vendors are increasingly taking efforts to sustain in the competitive environment by adopting the strategic acquisitions and partnerships. International players are increasingly focusing on increasing their footprint. As a result, local vendors are finding it difficult to compete against the global players especially in terms of quality, features, and capability of the EP diagnostic catheters. The increase in technological innovations and product extensions will strengthen the market’s competitive environment. To remain competitive, few vendors are also adopting strategies such as M&As.

Key vendors in this market are -

• St. Jude Medical
• Boston Scientific
• Biosense Webster
• Medtronic
• Biotronik

Other prominent vendors in the market include Abbott, AngioDynamics, Cardiac Science, MicroPort Scientific, Siemens Healthcare, and Welch Allyn.

Segmentation by product and analysis of the electrophysiology diagnostic catheters market

• Conventional EP diagnostic catheters
• Advanced EP diagnostic catheters

Owing to the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, especially cardiac arrhythmias, the advanced EP diagnostic catheters segment accounted for the majority market shares during 2016. Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes several serious cardiovascular complications including stroke. The rising incidence of AF will drive the market’s segment growth during the predicted period. As a result, manufacturers will heavily invest in research activities to develop advanced AF ablation technologies.

Segmentation by end-user and analysis of the electrophysiology diagnostic catheters market

• Hospitals
• Diagnostic centers or EP labs
• ASCs

Patients highly prefer hospitals over other healthcare centers because hospitals offer a large number of inpatient and outpatient services. The availability of advanced medical infrastructure and the presence of trained professionals will fuel the influx of patients suffering from stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure. The rising number of procedures carried out for stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure in hospitals will drive the sales of EP diagnostic catheters in this end-user segment until the end of 2021.
