Cardiovascular Devices Market to 2017 - Minimally Invasive Techniques

Aug. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- The cardiovascular devices market will be driven by an increase in the incidence of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), an increasing elderly population across the globe, an increase in risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, and hypertension leading to CVDs and the greater adoption of technological advancements. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are the leading causes of death and disability in the world. In 2008, CVDs were responsible for 17.3 million deaths. Heart attacks were responsible for 7.3 million and strokes were responsible for 6.2 million deaths.

According to the WHO, there will be about 23.6 million deaths from CVD by 2030, primarily from heart disease and stroke. The incidence of CVD is expected to increase further in future due to an increase in behavioral risk factors, such as smoking, poor nutrition, lack of physical movement, type-A personality, high alcohol consumption and drug abuse. Behavioral risk factors are responsible for about 80% of coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.

The Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) devices category was the largest category in the global cardiovascular devices market in 2010. The CRM market accounted for about 35% of the overall cardiovascular devices market.

The global CRM market was valued at $11.39 billion in 2010 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4% to reach $15.16 billion in 2017. Within this category ‘pacemakers’ was the largest segment. The market for CRM has grown over the past five decades due to improved device function, advances in technology and implantation techniques, and a rapidly expanding set of clinical indications.

The innovations in technology and design of cardiovascular devices in past the few years have led to an increase in the demand for cardiovascular devices. The modern day devices such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible pacemakers will increase the demand for pacemakers as the majority of patients require an MRI after implantation. Other innovative products such as artificial hearts, bioresorbable stents, tissue heart valves and heart rhythm devices with wireless telemetry features are driving the cardiovascular devices market.
