Market Trends of Neurointerventional Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Neurointerventional Devices Market according to our research experts:
Ischemic Stroke Segment is Expected to Hold Major Share of the Market Over the Forecast Period
Ischemic stroke is characterized by the sudden loss of blood circulation to an area of the brain, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function. The major factors that positively impact the segment include the increase in the incidence of ischemic stroke and the developments made by various major players in the market.
For instance, as per the WSO's Global Stroke Fact Sheet 2022, there are over 7.6 million new ischemic strokes each year. Globally, over 62% of all incident strokes are ischaemic strokes. This shows a significant rise in cases every year that need proper neurointerventions through neurointerventional devices. Thus, the increase in the incidence of vascular diseases like ischaemic stroke drives the neurointerventional devices market over the forecast period.
Similarly, the recent developments in the devices used for ischemic stroke drove the market growth during the study period. For instance, in June 2022, Rapid Medical enrolled the first patient in the DISTALS Study. The trial is the first-ever FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) trial to examine the safety and effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy in distal stroke with TIGERTRIEVER 13, the smallest and most adjustable thrombectomy device. With a wide range of applications linked to arterial-based disease correction, there is significant usage of neurointerventional devices. Similarly, in February 2022, MicroPort NeuroTech Limited (MicroPort NeuroTech) received marketing approval from the NMPA for its self-developed Neurohawk Stent Thrombectomy Device (Neurohawk). The Neurohawk is the clot stent retriever launched by MicroPort NeuroTech for acute ischemic stroke treatment.
Thus, given the above-mentioned facts, the studied market is expected to grow over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period
The United States contributes the most to the North American region and is responsible for the dominance of the region across the world. North America, with its advanced healthcare infrastructure across the majority of places and the presence of many medical device companies well-connected with hospitals, primarily boosts the growth of this market.
According to the statistics published by the CDC in April 2022, more than 795,000 Americans have strokes. Each year, 610,000 of these instances are discovered to be new. About 87% of all strokes are ischemic strokes, in which blood flow to the brain is blocked. Hence, the increase in stroke cases in the region increases the demand for neurointerventional devices for proper management, which helps in the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, new device approvals and launches also help the market grow. For instance, in February 2022, CERENOVUS launched EMBOGUARD, a next-generation balloon guide catheter to be used in endovascular procedures, including those for patients with acute ischemic stroke. The EMBOGUARD balloon guide catheter is designed to optimize the removal of clots by controlling blood flow locally during MT procedures. Thus, all the new device approvals and launches help the market grow in the region.
Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period.
