DES Segment Boosts Global Coronary Stents Market to 6.6% CAGR till 2019; Overrides Bare Metal Stents Segment

The global coronary stents market exhibits intense competition with the top four players representing nearly 87% of the overall market. The accelerated research activities to launch new and improved coronary stents is boosting the competitive rivalry among the global players, says Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. The top four companies are Medtronic Inc., Boston Scientific Corporation, Abbott Laboratories Inc., and Terumo Corporation. Other key players influencing the growth of the global coronary stents market are B. Braun Melsungen AG and Biotronik SE & Co. KG.
“The new entrants can establish a presence by devising robust market strategies and reliable products to establish themselves in a market already being dominated by large companies. The global coronary stents market is also characterized by high threat of substitutes and strict regulatory requirements, thereby raising the barriers for new entrants,” states the author of the report. However, increasing opportunities for merger and acquisitions for the development of innovative stents for treating multiple coronary artery diseases will attract new companies to the global coronary stents market.
Rising Prevalence of Coronary Artery Diseases to Drive Sales of Coronary Stents
Globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause the highest number of deaths every year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 17.5 million people died from CVDs in 2012. Out of these, 7.4 million died as a result of coronary artery diseases (CADs). The growing prevalence of CADs will boost the demand for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), which in turn would increase the uptake of coronary stents. Moreover, the rise in global obesity rates will add to various coronary artery diseases. The WHO also estimates that nearly 23% of overweight and obese individuals suffer from some form of CAD. These trends are likely to bolster the growth of the global coronary stents market.
The advent of innovative and new coronary stents, especially the bio-absorbable ones bodes well for the growth of the global coronary stents market. These technologically advanced stents have minimum or no side effects, thereby promoting their uptake. Another factor driving the growth of the global coronary stents market is the increasing geriatric population worldwide. As aged people are more susceptible to CADs, the need for PCIs among such population is relatively higher, which in turn, will propel growth of the global coronary stents market.
Rejection Rate of Coronary Stents Remains High in Less Developed Regions Owing to High Price and Lack of Reimbursement
The global coronary stents market is generating the better part of its revenue from developed countries, while less developed regions such as MEA are still dependent upon other therapies. This is attributed to the high cost of various coronary stents available. Furthermore, patients from several emerging and less developed markets face shortage of reimbursement policies for these stents. The patients, therefore, switch to alternative methods, thereby adversely affecting the demand for coronary stents. Thus, these factors are negatively influencing the growth of the global coronary stents market.
The rising occurrence of side effects such as in-stent restenosis, thrombosis, and late stent restenosis associated with coronary stents has resulted in the rejection of coronary stenting procedures. This is likely to impede the growth of the global coronary stents market. However, novel technologies are expected to reduce the side effects and will increase penetration of coronary stents in developed as well as emerging markets.
Minimum Side Effects to Facilitate Impressive Growth of Bio-absorbable Stents
The global coronary stents market stood at US$ 9.35 bn and is expected to expand at a 9.5% CAGR between 2013 and 2019, reaching the value of US$ 13.85 bn in 2019. Based on product type, drug eluting stents have wider adoption amongst patients due to their easy availability and reduced side effects. The segment is anticipated to account for a dominant 69.5% of the global coronary stents market in terms of revenue by 2019. On the flip side, bio-absorbable stents are projected to register noteworthy growth due to the fact that they get completely absorbed into the tissues, thereby causing minimum or zero side effects.
In terms of geography, North America was the leading segment in 2015 and is expected to retain its position until the end of 2019 owing to the increasing obese and aging population in the region. However, Asia Pacific is showing strong growth owing to the increasing purchasing power and continuously developing healthcare infrastructure.
The information presented in this review is based on a Transparency Market Research report, titled, ‘Coronary Stents Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Pipeline Overview, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019.’

The global market for reprocessed medical devices features a markedly high level of consolidation, with Stryker Sustainability Solutions, Inc. alone holding a share of nearly 62% of the overall market in 2013, reports TMR in a recent market research report. Well-managed supply channels and a strong distribution network have allowed the company to take a coveted spot in the global reprocessed medical devices market.
Owing to the prominence of a few vendors in the market, entry barriers for new vendors are high. Along with the dominance of a very small number of companies, factors such as the requirement of a steady supply of used medical devices, regulatory control exercised by several supervisory bodies, and the necessity of strong distribution networks are challenging new vendors in the global reprocessed medical devices market. However, developing economies, with vast growth opportunities and a highly unorganized reprocessing industry could allow easy admittance to new vendors. Some more of the market’s notable participants are Hygia Health Services, Inc., Centurion Medical Products Corporation, Medline ReNewal, SterilMed, Inc., and SureTek Medical.
The global reprocessed medical devices market is expected to exhibit an exceptional 19.3% CAGR by revenue over the period between 2014 and 2020. The market had a revenue-wise valuation of US$898.7 mn in 2015. In terms of volume, the global market is expected to rise to 56.04 mn by 2020.
Rising Pressure on Reducing Medical Waste and Demand for Reducing Medical Costs Drive Market
That using reprocessed medical devices could help healthcare facilities in saving big bucks is not a difficult guess. The Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR) states that any typical hospital could save anywhere between US$500,000 to US$2 mn a year using reprocessed medical devices. What’s more, orthopedic surgery centers could save up to US$20,000 per operating room a year by employing reprocessed medical devices. Such vast savings are the chief factor that reprocessed medical devices appeal to healthcare industries across the globe, no matter how strong or weak the economy of a country.
In developed economies, the rising demand to bring down healthcare expenses along with the several regulations requiring proper disposal or reuse of medical devices with a view of reducing the volumes of medical waste are working in favor of the medical devices reprocessing industry. In developing and under-developed economies, on the other hand, the potential of reprocessed medical devices in bridging the gap between the vast demands for healthcare facilities and their absence, especially in remote areas, could allow the global reprocessed medical devices market achieve traction.
Reluctance in Adopting Used Products in Developed Economies and Preference for In-house Reprocessing in Emerging Ones Hinder Market’s Growth
In certain developed countries such as the U.K. and France, healthcare providers and surgical centers are highly reluctant regarding the use of reprocessed medical devices. The lack of awareness and negative perception about the safety, product quality, and efficacy of reprocessed medical devices are key to the low adoption of reprocessed medical devices in such regions.
In developing countries, such as India, China, Singapore, and many other countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific, the large-scale adoption of professionally reprocessed medical devices is hindered due to the high preference for in-house reprocessing.
The lack of specific regulatory guidelines governing the process of medical device reprocessing has helped flourish the intake of easily and economically reprocessed medical devices recovered through in-house processing. This factor is expected to emerge as a key challenge to the overall development of the global reprocessed medical devices market in emerging economies in the next few years.
Cardiovascular Devices Take the Lead
The segment of cardiovascular devices saw the most traction, with 13.69 mn devices reprocessed and/or sold globally in 2015.

Geography-wise, North America emerged as the clear leader in the global reprocessed medical devices market as of 2015.
This review is based on a recent report published by Transparency Market Research, titled “Reprocessed Medical Devices Market Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020.”

Brain Infarction - key factors are diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, smoking, blood pressure

Cerebral infarction is one of the major types of ischemic stroke; it occurs due to the development of one or more clots in the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. The objective of therapy in acute ischemic stroke is to protect the tissue in the ischemic penumbra, where the blood flow may have reduced but is sufficient enough to stave off infarction. Many surgical and endovascular procedures have been examined in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
According to a recently updated publication in the Translational Stroke Research, Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1 RA) has been systematically studied on animals and is quite close to receiving acceptance for therapeutics of ischemic stroke. The study includes the comparison of effects of IL-1 RA in live, whole animals with focal cerebral ischemia with that of control groups. After a thorough analysis of 25 studies, the treatment with IL-1 RA is linked with substantial improvements in treatment outcome for ischemic stroke, whether quantified as improved neurobehavioral outcome or reduced infarct volume.
The fact that the prevalence of brain disorders is on the rise globally is supported by statistics from the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). According to statistics of the NHLBI, almost 4.6 million individuals in the U.S. have cardiac stroke disease, which can transform into brain infarction. These factors will translate into promising growth for the global brain infarction market in the future, says a report by Transparency Market Research.
Q. What are the factors driving the growth of the global cerebral infarction market?
A. The increasing prevalence of brain disorders, increasing incidence of diseases that lead to cerebral infarction, increasing awareness about disease treatment, and technological advancements are the major factors driving the growth of the global cerebral infarction market.

These include drugs such as epoetin alfa, CNTO-0007, AP-102, and others.
Q. What is the developmental scenario of the regional cerebral infarction markets?
A. At present, North America and Europe are the key markets for cerebral infarction as these are traditional research-centered regions and have an increasing prevalence of brain diseases. However, Asia Pacific and some developing nations in Rest of the World are anticipated to emerge as significant markets for cerebral infraction. This is due to increased governmental assistance for research into brain disorders and increasing awareness about neurological diseases in these regions
Q. What are the major lines of treatment for cerebral infarction?
A. The major course of treatment for cerebral infarction include thrombolytic drugs and anti-myocardial infarction drugs among others. Some of the thrombolytic drugs which include tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) have proven their efficacy in the management of cerebral infarction. Other than this, the treatment for cerebral infarction includes eliminating the root cause of the condition, which includes blood pressure drugs, diabetes drugs, and others. Carotid endarterectomy is a major surgical treatment for cerebral infarction.
Thus, it can be concluded that extensive research initiatives will lead to even more effectual treatment for cerebral infarction.

Osteosynthesis Devices Market is expected to reach US$11 bn by the end of 2023

Osteosynthesis Devices Market
The key factor responsible for the rising demand for osteosynthesis devices is the growing prevalence of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Both medical issues have a considerable public health burden as they occur commonly among the geriatric population around the world. The rise in the number of patients suffering from these conditions is directly related to the growing population of the elderly. Osteoarthritis, termed by major medical organizations as one of the leading disabling diseases in developed countries, can add severe limitations to the movement and mobility of a patient. Therefore, treatment of the disease is pertinent to the overall geriatric demographic wellbeing.
Outside of the elderly population, there are several factors that drastically increase the chances of a patient suffering from osteoarthritis, including obesity and physical injuries. As such, a rise in the number of obese people, especially in developed nations, is a highly concerning factor for healthcare agencies and a major driver for the production and development of osteosynthesis devices. The number of road accidents and sports injuries is also increasing around the world, adding to the probability of an increase in the demand for osteosynthesis devices in the coming years.
Osteosynthesis devices, however, have quite often been subject to product recalls in recent past, severely reducing their overall usability and market growth.
A culmination of the above factors along with other minor drivers and restraints is likely to result in a CAGR of 6.5% for the global osteosynthesis devices market revenue from 2015 to 2023. By the end of 2016, this revenue is expected to reach US$6.69 bn, and US$11.09 bn by the end of 2023.
North America Demand for Osteosynthesis Devices Soars as Elderly Population Increases
By the end of 2023, the revenue generated from North America by manufacturers of osteosynthesis devices is expected to reach US$4.7 bn. This falls in place with the consistent dominance shown by the region in terms of demand. The key reason for this high demand is the large number of geriatrics in the region. Additionally, the large presence of key players and the high investments in osteosynthesis by governments have also added to the growth in demand for osteosynthesis devices in the region. Osteosynthesis devices are mostly available at premium prices in both North America and Europe. This has not deterred purchasers as the use of premium osteosynthesis devices provides a higher level of treatments to be made available for a problem that is already exceedingly high in priority.

This region’s revenue from osteosynthesis devices is expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2015 to 2023. It is therefore considered as the most lucrative region by key players.
Non-degradable Materials Continue Dominating Market Demand
Degradable and non-degradable are the two major types of material categories in use to make osteosynthesis devices. Of these, non-degradable materials already have a long history of use in osteosynthesis devices and orthopedic implants. They are most commonly inclusive of cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steels, and titanium. At the moment, the overall growth rate and demand for non-degradable osteosynthesis devices is quite high, owing to the utility-based advantages they provide. Titanium, for instance, is considered as the most biocompatible metal and offers high indices of elasticity, strength, and corrosion resistance.
However, non-degradable devices are connected to a higher rate of transmitting infections, thus complicating a patient’s health and increasing the chances for a second surgery. As a result, larger healthcare organizations are pushing for the use of degradable osteosynthesis devices that offer a one-time use and therefore considerably reduce the chances of infections. The future of osteosynthesis devices could very well be based in the development of degradable materials.
The key manufacturers of osteosynthesis devices across the world include DePuy Synthes, Zimmer Biomet, Stryker Corporation, Smith & Nephew, Neosteo SAS, and Aesculap, Inc.

Tissue Engineered Skin Substitutes Market - Latest Trends & Insights 2023

Global-medical-tourismThe global market for tissue engineered skin substitutes is mostly consolidated as four companies currently maintain a strong hold over revenue shares in market value. The top three players in 2014 were Acelity, Smith & Nephew, and Molnlycke. Their collective share in market value in 2014 was 51.4%. Most commonly, the key providers of tissue engineered skin substitutes offer a wide product profile, invest heavily in research and development to stay ahead of the pack, and possess strong marketing processes and distribution networks.
As a result, although the collective share of regional tissue engineered skin substitute providers is quite large, the reach of key players coupled with the strict set of guidelines governing the release of any product in the market, have created only a moderate threat level from new entrants.
The global market for tissue engineered skin substitutes is expected to generate revenue at a highly positive CAGR of 17.2% within a forecast period from 2015 to 2023. This market is expected to generate a revenue of US$1.2 bn by the end of 2016, and US$3.87 bn by 2023.
Medical Tourism Creates Wide Revenue Stream for Tissue Engineered Skin Substitute Providers
“Medical tourism, as an industry, is already a multi-billion dollar one and is showing an annual growth rate in double digits,” states a TMR analyst. “The use of tissue engineered skin substitutes in developed nations is not only growing in numbers, but is also over-expensive and unaffordable for some without a feasible reimbursement policy. As a result, a large number of patients seeking tissue engineered skin substitute treatment are doing so through medical tourism.”
Nations such as Thailand, Malaysia, India, and Singapore are at the forefront of medical tourism and can offer state of the art technologies for tissue engineered skin substitute treatment at a much cheaper rate than that from North America or Europe.
Additionally, medspas, or medical clinics that include a day spa, are a highly preferred place for treatment and healing by the elderly, especially for cases such as treatment of ulcers and venous diseases.
