Nitinol-based medical devices market outlook
Global nitinol-based medical devices market analysis identifies that the increasing application of shape metal alloys (SMAs) will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. SMAs have high-power density, solid-state actuation, high damping capacity, durability, and fatigue resistance. The most commonly used SMA is nitinol, which is known for its superior thermomechanical and thermoelectrical properties. Nitinol SMAs have a high level of super-elasticity and are used in hip replacements. They are also used in medical implants like vascular stents, transcatheter heart valve, vascular closure implants, neurovascular closure implants, neurovascular clot pullers, devices and flow diverters, vena cava filters, orthopedic anchors, and atrial fibrillation devices. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that the nitinol-based medical devices market value will increase at a CAGR of close to 11% by 2021.
The nitinol-based medical devices market value is experiencing growth in the Americas due to the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders such as peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, and stroke. The demand for nitinol medical devices will continue to grow in the region throughout the projected period due to the increase in incomes and the rising awareness among the people. All the major vendors have their presence in countries such as the US, Mexico, Canada, and Brazil and are trying to extend their distribution channels to other countries.
