Interventional Cardiology Devices Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

Market Overview

The interventional cardiology devices market is expected to record a CAGR of 7.48% over the forecast period, 2022-2027.

The interventional cardiology devices market is anticipated to have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as most elective surgeries were deferred to contain the spread of the SARS-Cov2 viral transmission. The article titled "Electrophysiology and Interventional Cardiology Procedure Volumes During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic" published in the National Library of Medicine in October 2021, stated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of interventional cardiology (IC) and electrophysiology (EP) operations performed globally. Multiple clinical services in the area of interventional cardiology were immediately discontinued upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to better allocate resources and prevent potential exposure across numerous countries. All percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed in the United Kingdom during the lockdown imposed by the pandemic were retrospectively studied by the British Cardiovascular Interventional Society and their results were compared to PCI volumes during the pre-pandemic period. The results indicated that PCI volumes decreased by 49%, with the highest decline occurring in PCI for stable angina (66% reduction). Thus, the outbreak has had an adverse impact on the market's growth in its preliminary phase. However, the market is anticipated to gain traction over the coming years as most of elective surgical procedures and treatments have resumed worldwide.

Furthermore, the major factors for the growth of the interventional cardiology devices market include the growing prevalence of coronary artery diseases (CADs), technological advancements in interventional cardiology devices, and the growing demand for minimally invasive treatment globally.

Heart-related diseases are the most serious health conditions and the leading cause of death across the world. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in low-income as well as middle-income and developed countries. For instance, according to the World Health Organization data, updated in 2022, an estimated 17.9 million people die due to cardiovascular diseases worldwide each year, amounting to 35% of global deaths. Additionally, 85% of these cardiovascular disease deaths are due to heart attack and stroke. In addition, according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention data updated in July 2022, coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease. Moreover, every year, about 805,000 people in the United States have a heart attack. People suffering from cardiovascular diseases or those who are at high cardiovascular risk need early detection and intervention to avoid fatal consequences. Therefore, the increasing burden of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases, is anticipated to boost the usage of coronary stents, in turn, driving the market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, market players are competing to launch advanced products for better treatment and have invested in research and development programs to improve their existing product lines and launch new product portfolios. For instance, in February 2022, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. announced it had partnered with Innova Vascular, Inc. (Innova) to develop a full line of novel thrombectomy devices. Similarly, in July 2021, ORIGIN SC and ORIGIN NC, two high-performance balloons for vessel preparation, were introduced by MedAlliance, a privately held medical technology company dedicated to developing novel drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) for patients suffering from life-threatening coronary and peripheral arterial disease. 

Moreover, compared to conventional surgeries, the several advantages of minimally invasive surgeries, such as reduced surgical pain, injury, scarring, hospital stay, higher accuracy, and speedy recovery time, are encouraging an increasing number of patients to opt for minimally invasive balloon angioplasty surgeries. As per an article titled "Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty and Balloon Catheters" published in July 2022, the incidence of major complications like myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and death is variable in various angioplasty procedures. Incidence is as low as (< 1%) in cardiac and femoral artery procedures. ​

However, a stringent regulatory scenario for manufacturing interventional cardiology devices and the availability of effective first-line treatments are expected to restrain the market's growth.

Key Market Trends

Drug-eluting Stents Segment Is Expected to Witness Significant Growth over the Forecast Period

The drug-eluting stents sub-segment is predicted to observe significant growth over the forecast period. Drug-eluting stents are coated with medication that is slowly released to help prevent the growth of scar tissue in the artery lining. This helps the artery remain smooth and open, ensuring good blood flow. These stents are usually used for the lower extremities, and they provide results that are better than self-expanding and balloon-expanding stents. Thus, the growing adoption of advanced cardiovascular treatments and the increasing technological advancements in the field of drug-eluting stents are expected to be the major drivers of the growth of the segment.

For instance, in August 2021, SINOMED, a medical device company, announced the first commercial implantation of the HT Supreme Drug-eluting Stent (DES) at the University Hospital Galway, in partnership with the National University of Ireland Galway, marking the start of its European launch. Similarly, in May 2022, Medtronic plc announced it had received United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Onyx Frontier drug-eluting stent (DES). As the latest evolution in the Resolute DES family, Onyx Frontier DES leverages the same stent platform as Resolute Onyx DES, with an enhanced delivery system. Likewise, in January 2021, Boston Scientific received FDA approval for its Synergy Megatron Drug Eluting stent system, which is designed for the treatment of large proximal near aorta.

Thus, owing to the aforementioned factors, the drug-eluting stents segment is expected to register healthy growth over the forecast period.
