In terms of application, the global market for interventional radiology is examined for angiography, balloon angioplasty, embolization, vertebroplasty, biopsy, kyphoplasty, and RF ablation. Of these, the segment of embolization is expected to account for a share of 24.2% of the global market by 2024. The segment also holds the dominant position in the market presently and accounted for a 23.8% of the global market in 2015.

The rising prevalence of traumatic injuries across the globe is expected to drive the increased demand for embolization surgeries worldwide. According to the National Trauma Institute, traumatic injuries account for nearly 41 mn visits to emergency departments and over 2.3 mn hospital admissions. Traumatic injury is also a serious public health issue globally and is expected to lead to an increased demand for embolization surgeries in the near future.

The angiography segment is projected to account for a share of 21.0% in the global market by 2024. The rising global prevalence of strokes and high demand for minimally invasive surgeries will allow the segment to expand at a favorable pace over the forecast period. Biopsy and vertebroplasty-kyphoplasty are relatively smaller segments of the market, with a collective share of nearly 11.8% in the global market in 2015. The segment of biopsy is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalence of breast cancer.

Asia Pacific to Lead to Promising Growth Opportunities

With a 38.4% share, the North America interventional radiology market held the top spot in the global market in 2015. Rising demand for minimal invasive procedures and an endless supply of technological advanced devices and equipment are the major factors supporting the growth of the North America market. The x-ray segment gained the leading position in North America in the same year, accounting for over half of the market. Owing to factors such as improvement in technology, rising incidences of a variety of cancers, and well-established healthcare facilities, the North America market for interventional radiology is expected to expand at a swift pace over the next few years as well.

Although North America will continue to account for a higher share in the global interventional radiology market as compared to other regional markets over the forecast period as well, it is expected to lose prominence to the market in Asia Pacific in terms of rate of growth. The Asia Pacific interventional radiology market is expected to exhibit a 7.1% CAGR from 2016 through 2024. Rising prevalence of a variety of cancers, rising geriatric population, improving healthcare facilities, and rising disposable incomes and the relative rise in healthcare spending will play a key role in driving the Asia Pacific interventional radiology market over the said period.

The global interventional radiology market features a consolidated competitive landscape, wherein a relatively small number of companies account for a majority share in the market. Some of the key players operating in the global Interventional Radiology market are Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, GE Healthcare, Hitachi Medical Corporation, Hologic, Inc., Medtronic plc., and Philips Healthcare.

Interventional Radiology Market - Latest Innovations, Drivers, Restraints, Challenges and Forecast 2016 - 2024

The global interventional radiology market features a largely consolidated competitive landscape, with the top five players accounting for around 60% of the market in 2015, observes a recent report by Transparency Market Research. These top five vendors, namely Philips Healthcare, Hitachi Medical Corporation, GE Healthcare, Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, and Siemens Healthcare lead the global market owing to diversified product portfolios, extensive geographical presence, and acquisition strategies.

With launch of innovative equipment such as the interventional x-ray equipment varieties EchoNavigator, Allura 3D, and FlexVision, these companies are expected to retain their dominance in the next few years as well.

Transparency market Research (TMR) states that the global interventional radiology market was valued at US$13.8 bn in 2015 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8 % over the period between 2016 and 2024. If the prediction holds true, the market is expected to reach US$22.9 bn by 2024. Of the key applications of interventional radiology, the segment of embolization presently dominates and held a nearly 24% of the market’s overall valuation in 2015. From a geographical perspective, North America dominated, acquiring a nearly 38% of the global market in 2015.

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Mounting Global Population of Geriatrics Key to Market Growth

Busy lifestyles, lack of physical activities, and unhealthy habits such as smoking and poor diet are resulting in an epidemic of obesity, associated cardiac conditions, and several other chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality and disabilities across the world. The increasing incidence of such conditions is expected to one of the foremost causes of the rising demand for interventional radiology procedures during the forecast period. Moreover, the evolution of new techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) as well as fractional flow reserve (FFR), which is used for stenting patients with multi-vessel disease, are likely to increase the global adoption of interventional radiology techniques over the forecast period.

In addition to these factors, the rising global population of geriatrics is also expected to be one of the key factors driving the global interventional radiology market over the forecast period. Aging is associated with a large number of diseases and disorders. A majority of the geriatric population suffers from cardiovascular, neurological, and orthopedic disorders. The rising number of elderly individuals, therefore, is expected result in the increased demand for surgical interventions or acute care services in the near future.

Lack of Encouraging Reimbursement Policies to Deter Adoption across Several Economies

Several countries on a global front have very limited or almost no reimbursement for intervention radiology products or procedures. Across several key developing economies such as Brazil and India, there has been a reduction in the already low reimbursement for procedures such as angioplasty and products such as cardiac stents owing to the high cost of the surgery and equipment of late. The situation is likely to hamper the growth of the intervention radiology market in the next few years.

In addition to this factor, the global interventional radiology market is also expected to be hampered owing to the high excise duties levied on the manufacturers of medical devices globally. The reduction in the profits of manufacturers owing to such taxes reflect in the increased costs of interventional radiology equipment, adding to the already high cost of procedures.
