INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

The global cardiac prosthetic devices market size will be valued at USD 19 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The growing incidence of arrhythmia caused by arterial fibrillation (AF), structural heart diseases, especially heart valve diseases worldwide, is the major factor contributing to the growth. As the occurrence of AF in the general population in developed countries is between 1.5% and 3%, and in the elderly population around 20%, the market is likely to increase its market share considerably. Moreover, the prevalence of several valvular disorders such as aortic stenosis (AS), mitral regurgitation, pulmonary stenosis, tricuspid regurgitation, and congenital heart defects has increased at a significant rate over the past few years globally.

The demand for transcatheter valve replacement techniques is growing at a phenomenal rate due to the growing awareness of the devices, favorable reimbursement coverage, and increased prevalence of high-risk patients. The increasing mortality rate due to severe heart valve diseases, especially in the elderly population, is a key global concern among healthcare providers. Therefore, to address this concern, medical practitioners prefer to perform heart valve replacement surgeries with transcatheter technique among high-risk patients. Hence, the increase in the target population, coupled with a growing risk of severe heart valve diseases, is expected to increase the demand for transcatheter surgical techniques.

INSIGHTS BY PRODUCTS

The heart valve replacement devices market is growing at a healthy rate. An increase in the aging population and the presence of a large pool of patients with heart valve diseases is a major factor in driving the segment growth. The market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to the growing demand for transcatheter heart valve replacement procedures, especially TAVR, and the availability of next-generation cardiac prosthetic valves.

The growth of the transcatheter heart valves can mainly be attributed to superior safety and efficacy features, coupled with the growing prevalence of heart valve diseases globally. The penetration is high in developed countries such as the US, Germany, Japan, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain.  Similarly, advances in heart valve repair & replacement technologies have helped to boost unit sales of tissue heart valves as the improvement in tissue valves has increased durability, which makes them suitable for implantation in young patients. However, the share of mitral tissue valve replacement procedures is expected to increase during the forecast period as end-users are opting for TAVR heart procedures over aortic tissue valve replacement procedures. The mechanical heart valves segment is likely to account for a slower rate than the tissue and transcatheter heart valves segments. The demand for mechanical heart valves is declining, especially in developed economies, due to high risks and complications of cardiac prosthetic devices and the rapid evolution of advanced tissue and transcatheter heart valves with higher safety and efficacy. However, the global mechanical heart valves market is growing due to a steady increase in demand for mechanical heart valves in developing and emerging countries as these devices are relatively less expensive and offer long-life expectancy.

Advances in technology are improving the safety and efficacy of pacemakers. The conventional cardiac pacemaker segment is growing at a healthy rate due to the high uptake of technologically advanced implantable pacemakers, such as leadless and MRI compatible pacemakers. CRT-P device enhances the heart’s effectiveness and increases the blood flow compared to standard pacemakers. They also improve heart failure symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and exercise intolerance. CRT-P is an advanced type of pacemaker that provides certain additional advantages such as sensing of heart rate and delivering shock accurately.

Moreover, another prime function of the CRT-P device is to minimize the future chances of heart failure. Hence, the adoption of CRT-Ps is increasing at a significant rate. Besides, favorable public and private reimbursement coverage across the globe is projected to boost the adoption of CRT-Ps, resulting in the overall growth of the global cardiac pacemaker market.

INSIGHTS BY END-USERS

Hospitals are the major end-users for the cardiac prosthetic devices market as they perform a high number of implantation procedures. The increasing number of heart ailments and the growing implantations in the hospitals are fueling the growth of the segment. Healthcare professionals in hospitals use advanced cardiovascular prosthetic devices such as implantable pacemakers, CRT-Ps, transcatheter, tissue, and mechanical heart valves as a treatment procedure of cardiac diseases. The specialty cardiology center segment is expected to grow at an absolute growth of over 140% during the forecast period. The segment is likely to grow at a faster rate than hospitals as they are equipped with better infrastructure for cardiology care. Specialty cardiac centers provide exclusive healthcare services to patients with suspected or diagnosed heart diseases.
