Global Thermodilution Catheter Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Thermodilution Catheter Market Analysis

The thermodilution catheter market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

The impact of COVID-19 was adverse on the studied market owing to cancellations in elective procedures, including diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which impacted the studied market. For instance, according to an article published by the National Library of Medicine, in March 2022, there was a 52.7% reduction in adult cardiac surgery volume in the United States and a 65.5% reduction in elective cases. The Mid-Atlantic region was most affected by the COVID-19 surge in the initial phase, with a 69.7% reduction in overall case volume and an 80.0% reduction in elective cases. After the COVID-19 surge, nationwide cardiac surgical case volumes did not return to baseline, indicating a COVID-19-associated deficit of cardiac surgery patients. Hence, COVID-19 significantly impacted cardiac treatment and, consequently, the thermodilution catheter market. However, the current market is witnessing stabilized growth owing to the decrease in COVID-19 cases and is expected to project a similar trend over the coming years per the analysis.

The prevalence of cardiac diseases and increased incidences of stroke, as growing research and development activities to develop novel technologies in cardiac stroke management is actively affecting the growth of the studied market. For instance, according to the AHA's Heart Disease & Stroke Statistical Update Fact Sheet, published in January 2022, 244.1 million people were living with ischemic heart disease worldwide and it was more prevalent in males than in females (141.0 and 103.1 million people, respectively). Additionally, according to WHO data updated in June 2021, nearly 33.5 million people worldwide suffer from atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common type of serious arrhythmia. The surge in cardiac diseases and incidences of stroke is projected to propel the demand for thermodilution catheters, required during the treatment of these diseases which is ultimately projected to boost the market growth.

The increasing product approvals, launches, partnerships, and acquisitions by key market players are projected to augment the market growth. For instance, in July 2022, the Zurich-based company Nanoflex Robotics, a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH), developed an innovative catheter for rapid surgical interventions on stroke patients. Such developments are expected to boost the market growth.

While the market is poised for an upward trend, the lack of skilled healthcare professionals in emerging markets and difficulty in catheter localization in the patient's heart is likely to impede the market growth.

Thermodilution Catheter Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of the report, thermodilution catheters are used to monitor cardiac output by passing a special thermistor-tipped catheter known as a Swan-Ganz catheter through the heart. These are also used to determine pulmonary artery, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and intravascular and intra-cardiac pressures in order to estimate the atrial functioning of the heart. 

The Thermodilution Catheter Market is segmented by Material (Nylon, Polyurethane, and Other Materials), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Other End Users), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America). The market report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 different countries across major regions globally. The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
