Raw Material - Segment Analysis

Based on the raw material, nylon held the largest share in the balloon catheter market in 2019 and will grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period 2020-2025.This is mainly owing to the benefits associated with the use of nylon as a raw material in these device as nylon is softer, it is more easily refolded and is easier to withdraw into the guiding catheter or introducer sheath. When compared with PET (polyethylene terephthalate) versions nylon high-pressure balloons require a thicker wall for a given burst pressure, which means that a nylon balloon will have a larger profile than a comparable PET balloon upon insertion into the body and when crossing a lesion. However, Polyurethane segment is estimated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period 2020-2025, owing to its properties as they are inflated by volume, rather than pressure. They are able to stretch 100% to 800% and are often used in applications that require balloon to fully conform to or occlude the anatomy.

Drivers – Balloon Catheter Market

·         Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases & increasing geriatric population

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases accounted for over 17.7 million deaths in 2015; of these coronary heart disease accounted for around 7.4 million deaths. Furthermore, majority of the deaths occurred in emerging economies due to high prevalence rate and lack of health care services in rural areas. According to the United Nations Population Fund (2015), around 12.3% of the global population comprised people aged 60 years and above and this figure is projected to increase to 22% by 2050. Surgical intervention for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders has increased demand for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter. According to a research article published by the NCBI in 2018, more than 200 million people suffer from Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) across the globe. Therefore the increasing incidences of cardiovascular disease and growing geriatric population will help in the growth of the market

·         Advancements in surgical procedure and surge in healthcare expenditure

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) majorly includes minimal invasive procedures involving the use of catheters to clear blocked arteries. Growing demand for angioplasty over conventional surgery has gained significant preference among patients due to its minimally invasive nature and better outcomes. Minimally invasive procedures have resulted in an increase in the number of laboratories for catheterization.  The paradigm shift from traditional to angioplasty surgery has resulted in an increase in catheter sales, including variants of PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty). The increasing government funds and healthcare expenditure in developed and developing countries is also supporting the growth of the market.

Challenges – Balloon Catheter Market

·         Risk of Infection and artery collapse associated with balloon catheterization

Patients who undergo cardiac catheterization are at a higher risk of catheter-associated bloodstream infections due to repeated use of catheters. According to a research article published by the NCBI in 2018, some of the major risks associated with cardiac catheterization are arteriovenous fistula, myocardial infarction, hematoma/retroperitoneal bleeding, thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm embolism, and allergic reactions. Therefore, risks and complications associated with catheters may impede the growth of the market for Balloon Catheters in the coming years.

Balloon Catheter Industry Outlook

Product launches, Merger & Acquisitions, joint ventures and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the balloon catheter market.
