Coronary Guidewires Market

The Coronary Guidewire Market By Material (Nitinol, Stainless Steel, And Others), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, And  Others), and geography is expected to grow at a steady CAGR forecast till 2030 owing to the increasing prevalence of coronary heart disease and and the rising cases of coronary artery bypass graft surgeries across the globe

The global coronary guidewire market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. The demand for coronary guidewire is primarily being boosted due to the increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) across the globe. Further, the rising adoption of advanced and innovative technologies, the rising awareness about minimally invasive heart surgeries, the increasing geriatric population prone to various cardiovascular diseases, rising figures of various risk factors causing coronary heart diseases, and the increasing product launches and approval among others, are thereby contributing to the overall growth of the coronary guidewire market during the forecast period from 2024-2030. 

Coronary Guidewire Market Dynamics:

The coronary guidewire market is witnessing a positive growth in product demand owing to various factors, one of the key factors is the increasing cases of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) across the globe. For instance, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 2023, in 2021 cases of CABG were 45,290 in Turkiye and 38,859 in Germany.

A CABG is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary heart disease. It diverts blood around narrowed or clogged parts of the major arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. Coronary guidewires are used in this surgery to deliver therapies to diseased areas of the coronary arterial system. Therefore, more the cases of CABG, the more the demand for the coronary guidewire, thereby increasing the overall market for coronary guidewires during the forecast period.

Furthermore, over time, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and the nerves which control the heart. According to the Centers for Disease and Prevention Control (CDC) 2022, if a person has diabetes, he or she is twice likely to have heart disease or a stroke than someone who doesn’t have diabetes. Additionally, according to IDF Diabetes Atlas Tenth Edition 2021, in 2021 approximately 537 million adults worldwide (20-79 years) were living with diabetes, and the total number of people living with diabetes is projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. From the same source, more than 1.2 million children and adolescents (0-19 years) were living with diabetes, in 2023, globally.

Thus, diabetes may cause damage to blood vessels, hypertension, and others, which can lead to heart disease or stroke. A person suffering from any heart disease may need an angioplasty, in which a catheter is inserted into vessels, using a coronary guidewire that is used to guide the catheter into place during central venous catheter (CVC) insertions, a process done in angioplasty. The purpose of a guidewire is to gain access to the blood vessels using a minimally invasive technique. Thus, the increasing cases of diabetes will increase the figures of people suffering from coronary heart diseases, thereby increasing the demand for coronary guidewires, ultimately propelling the overall market growth.

Therefore, the above-mentioned factors are contributing to the growth of the coronary guidewire market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

However, the complications related to the coronary guidewire and others may restrict the coronary guidewire market growth during the forecast period.

Coronary Guidewire Recent Developments

• On September 17, 2024, Royal Philips announced FDA approval of its 160cm LumiGuide navigation wire with Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) technology. Dr. Carlos Timaran used the guidewire for a complex aortic aneurysm repair, marking the 1000th patient treated with FORS since 2020. The longer wire broadens its use for more patients in the US.

Coronary Guidewire Market Segment Analysis:

Coronary guidewire market by Material (Nitinol, Stainless Steel, and Others), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the material segment of the coronary guidewire market, the stainless steel category is expected to amass a significant revenue share in the year 2023. This may be ascribed to the advantages offered by the stainless steel material.

The advantages of the stainless steel category over other material is that stainless steel is non-magnetic, non-staining, corrosion-resistant, and possess antibacterial properties. Stainless steel is easier to torque and is more rigid, providing better columnar support. All such advantages offered by the segment are responsible for their increased preference among the end-users.

Furthermore, device launches and approval, rising research & developmental activities among others will also increase the demand for coronary guidewire during the forecast period. For instance, in November 2021, FDA approved ASAHI CONFIANZA PRO 8-20 guidewire by Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd, The guide wire is constructed from a stainless-steel core wire with a platinum-nickel coil.

Therefore, the advantages offered by the stainless steel category, along with increasing device launches and approval among others will increase the demand for the stainless steel coronary guidewire market during the forecast period, thereby responsible for propelling the demand for coronary guidewires during the upcoming years.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Coronary Guidewire Market:

Among all the regions, North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the coronary guidewire market in the year 2023. Owing to the significance of key coronary guidewire market growth factors such as the increasing cases of coronary artery disease (CAD), the rising cases of angioplasty, and others in the region, are driving the North American coronary guidewire market is expected to witness positive growth in the forecast period. Furthermore, high disposable income, sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, rising approvals for new devices, and surging awareness about minimally invasive heart surgery will also help the coronary guidewire market growth in this region.

CAD is caused by plaque build-up in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart which can lead to serious medical conditions such as heart attack, heart failure, and others. To prevent this serious medical condition patient may need to go through a minimally invasive surgery called angioplasty. During the procedure, a cardiologist threads a balloon-tipped catheter to the site of the narrowed or blocked artery and then inflates the balloon to open the vessel. In such complex procedures, the use of guide wires is a must, which permits multiple recrossings of a dilated segment and allows safe serial passage of different-sized balloon catheters.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2022, about 20.1 million adults age 20 and older had CAD, in 2020. In 2020, about 2 in 10 deaths from CAD happen in adults less than 65 years old. Thus, to maintain the mortality rate due to CAD, angioplasty at an appropriate time is required. Henceforth, the increasing cases of CAD may increase the cases of angioplasty which will ultimately increase the demand for coronary guidewires in the regional market.

Furthermore, growing preference for cardiovascular procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), replacement, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), angioplasty, and others to be conducted in a minimally invasive manner utilizing guidewires to transverse in the vascular system and access the desired position for catheter insertion is also crucial for raising the demand of coronary guidewires, thereby, positively impacting the overall coronary guidewire market during the forecast period.

Consequently, the aforementioned factors will increase the demand for a coronary guidewire, thereby driving the North American coronary guidewire market forward during the forecast period.
