Market Trends of Occlusion Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Occlusion Devices Market according to our research experts:
Neurology Segment is Expected to Witness a Lucrative Growth
The rising prevalence of brain aneurysms and the launch of new technologically advanced products are expected to drive the overall growth of the market. According to 2021 estimates by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, approximately 30,000 people in the United States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture each year.
Factors contributing to the formation of a brain aneurysm are injury/trauma to blood vessels, smoking, hypertension, and genetic predisposition. The treatment of brain aneurysms includes medical therapy, surgical clipping or endovascular therapy, or coiling without or with adjunctive devices. For instance, as per the WHO's key facts of August 2021, an estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide were living with hypertension, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries, which is driving the segmental growth.
The same source stated that women, particularly those over the age of 55, have a higher risk of brain aneurysm rupture than men. This risk is expected to increase in the future as the geriatric population increases. As per the UN data published in 2020, the global population aged 60 years or above is anticipated to increase from 13.2% in 2020 to 21.3% by 2050. This is expected to raise the incidence of aneurysms. Hence, the rising incidence is expected to help the market's growth.
North America is Expected to Hold Largest Market Share over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to be the largest occlusion devices market owing to the rising adoption of minimally invasive surgeries and better healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, the rising approval of new occlusion devices is expected to boost the overall growth of the market. One of the market players, Abbott Laboratories, received approval from FDA for the Amplatzer Piccolo Occluder in November 2020, which is the world's first medical device that can be implanted in babies using a minimally invasive procedure to treat patent ductus arteriosus.
The increasing cases of cardiovascular diseases are also generating demand for the product, which is fuelling the market's growth. For instance, as per the CDC's data published in September 2021, heart disease was the leading cause of death in the United States. About 18.2 million adults of age 20 years and older had coronary artery disease, and about 360,900 people died in 2019 due to coronary heart disease. Thus, due to the high mortality rate caused by cardiovascular diseases in the country, the number of surgeries is expected to increase, which, in turn, is likely to boost the adoption of occlusion devices, thereby contributing to the market's growth.
In addition, cancer is also one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the country, which is further expected to augment the growth of the market over the years. For instance, according to the GLOBOCAN 2020 Report, 101,809 cases of colon cancer, 44,780 cases of rectum cancer, and 26,259 cases of stomach cancer were reported in the United States in 2020. This is expected to drive the demand for interventional procedures in the country. Thus, owing to the factors mentioned above, the market is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period.
