Market Trends of Global Thermodilution Catheter Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Thermodilution Catheter Market according to our research experts:
The Polyurethane Thermodilution Catheters is Expected to Witness Growth Over the Forecast Period
Polyurethane thermodilution catheters accounted for a significant share in recent years and are expected to do so over the forecast period owing to their wide range of applications, safety, reduced risk of patient latex allergy or hypersensitivity, and non-irritant nature. Additionally, an increased adoption rate of polyurethane catheters by doctors due to their enhanced mechanical strength and flexibility compared to silicon catheters is likely to drive the segment over the forecast period. For instance, an article published in NCBI in July 2022 stated that a Swan-Ganz catheter or right heart catheter is a quadruple-lumen catheter with a thermodilution sensor that is attached to a pressure transducer outside the body to identify the central vein pressure right atrial pressure, right ventricular pressure, and pulmonary artery pressure. These advantages and a rapid increase in the adoption of thermodilution catheters for monitoring pulmonary arterial pressure are also expected to increase the demand for manufacturers and propel the global market.
Moreover, rising company activities and product innovations are also expected to propel market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, CATHI launched a new Right Heart Catheter simulator offering all the features of CATHI's original RHC simulator, with the additional benefits of wire-assisted navigation and the potential to work with real liquids (S-HUB), thereby allowing thermodilution to be performed.
North America is Expected to show a Significant Growth in the Thermodilution Catheter Market Over the Forecast Period.
North America is expected to show significant growth in the market owing to factors such as the rising incidence of cardiac diseases, growing geriatric population, better healthcare infrastructure, awareness among people and healthcare industry stakeholders about available technologies, and the strong presence of industry players in the region. For instance, according to a CDC 2022 update, 12.1 million people in the United States will likely have atrial fibrillation in 2030. As per the same source, one person dies every 34 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease. About 697,000 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2020, accounting for 1 in every 5 deaths. Owing to the high burden and severity of the disease, the utility of thermodilution catheters is expected to rise in the region.
Various campaigns are conducted in the region to protect lives impacted by heart diseases. For instance, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the CDC in the United States jointly lead the nationwide Million Hearts campaign. The initiative commenced on January 2022 and will continue till December 2026. The goal of the initiative is to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes within 5 years. Such initiatives are likely to expedite the treatment and diagnosis of cardiac diseases to prevent strokes and other heart diseases and ultimately boost the usage of thermodilution catheters for monitoring cardiac output, which is projected to enhance the market in the region during the forecast period.
