Implantable Medical Devices Market will expand at a healthy CAGR of 4.9% over the period between 2016 and 2024

The global implantable medical devices market features a largely consolidated competitive landscape, with the top five companies accounting for a share of more than 50% in 2015, reports TMR in a recent report. These companies, including Zimmer Biomet, Johnson & Johnson, Stryker Corporation, Medtronic plc, Institut Straumann AG, hold sway owing to innovation, rapid introduction of newer and more effective product varieties, and presence across several key regional markets. Being a technology- and research-intensive field, governed by stringent approval regulations, the implantable medical devices market faces a low threat of new entrants in the next few years. However, the introduction of more promising substitutes to traditionally used materials is expected to intensify competition.

Transparency Market Research estimates that the global implantable medical devices market will witness expansion at a healthy 4.9% CAGR over the period between 2016 and 2024. At this pace, the market, which had a valuation of US$32.3 bn in 2015, is expected to rise to US$49.8 bn by 2024. Of the key materials used for manufacturing medical implants, titanium is presently the most preferred but is expected to lose its prominence to other options such as titanium alloys and zirconium. Over the period between 2016 and 2024, the market for titanium implants is expected to expand at a 4.7% CAGR. The markets for titanium alloy implants and zirconium implants are expected to expand at 5.5% and 6.4% CAGR over the same period, respectively.


Rising Prevalence of Chronic Degenerative Disease and Dental Problems to Stimulate Demand for Implantable Medical Devices Globally

A plethora of factors are boosting the global consumption of medical implantable devices. Some of the chief ones of these are the rising numbers of people suffering from chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis and cardiovascular issues and the high prevalence of dental problems, which could require orthodontic and periodontics interventions. While busy lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, lack of physical activities, and rising geriatric population are triggering chronic health diseases, the rising intake of junk/fast food is leading to the increased incidences of dental issues. Over the next few years, these factors are expected to arise as high-impact drivers of the global implantable medical devices.

Along with these factors, the rising prevalence of a number of congenital diseases and the increased awareness and consciousness regarding body’s appearance, and the alleged boost to self-esteem that cosmetic surgeries bring, have also been underlined as the key drivers of the global implantable medical devices market. The increased awareness regarding body aesthetics has given a huge boost to the market for dental surgeries involving implantations, thus driving the global implantable medical devices market.

Concerns Regarding Corrosion, Developments in Surgical Field Threaten to Hurt Demand for Conventional Implants


Studies have demonstrated that implants made from materials such as nickel and chromium are prone to corrosion and can trigger cancers. Implants made from cobalt alloy are known to pose risks to human health owing to in vivo ion release; polyethylene implants could be a potential trigger for bone lysis and localized tissue ruptures. Owing to the potential health issues that many varieties of implants cause, patients are more prone to opt for other alternatives. Along with this, the vast developments in the surgical field could also stimulate the consumer to prefer surgeries that promise minimal risk to health.  

Moreover, the high costs of medical implants and the concerns regarding post-implantation infections, which may add to the overall cost of implanting a medical device in the body, are also restraining the overall growth prospects of the global implantable medical devices market to a certain extent.

This review is based on a recent report by Transparency Market Research, titled “Implantable Medical Devices Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2016 - 2024.”

Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Batteries Market: Emphasis on Improving Batteries Bodes Well for Global Market

Global Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) Devices Batteries Market: Snapshot
As the availability of safer and cheaper lithium batteries is increasing, the global market for cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices batteries is likely to attain new heights. CRM devices are designed to improve the health of patients with either too fast or too slow heartbeats. These devices are placed in the chests of patients suffering from arrhythmias or irregular heart rhythms. When a patient suffers from arrhythmias for too long, his/her heart cannot pump enough blood to the body, resulting in emergency situations, and even death. As these devices are powered by batteries, the demand for these devices will reflect in increased demand for these batteries.
According to the findings of Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global market for CRM devices batteries was valued at US$397.3 mn in 2015. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.0% between 2015 and 2024, reaching US$518.4 mn towards the end of 2024.
North America, Asia Pacific to Emerge as Key Markets
North America holds a strong position in the market presently, by virtue of its highly developed healthcare infrastructure and greater incidence of arrhythmias. The  rising number of CRM implants is the prominent factor boosting the market for CRM devices batteries in this region. According to the findings of the U.S. CDC, nearly 750,000 hospitalizations each year in the U.S. are attributed to atrial fibrillation, the most common form of arrhythmia. The mortality rate associated with this condition was 130,000 deaths every year. The 2014 study also highlighted that as many as 2.7 to 6.1 million American citizens had atrial fibrillation. As a result, the number of CRM devices implants are slated to increase even further.
Asia Pacific is another region with great potential. The increasing healthcare expenditures of governments, growing per capita incomes of the middle class, and high prevalence of heart diseases, and growing awareness about heart diseases has been driving the market in Asia Pacific. Moreover, the development of highly efficient, technologically advanced CRM devices has been scooping out more demand. The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and sudden cardiac arrests will ensure that the demand for these products will continue to grow in China and India.
Technological Advancements to Ensure Greater Demand for ICDs and ICPs
Based on product type, the global market for CRM devices batteries has been segmented into cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, implantable cardiac pacemakers, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device that records the heart rate of patients. The ICD is connected to the chambers of heart via two thin wires. As the heart beats, electric signals are sent to the ICD. As soon as an abnormal heartbeat is detected by this device, it aids the heart restore its normal pace. Cardiac defibrillation uses an electric shock to do this.

An implantable cardiac pacemaker (ICP), on the other hand, is a small device that assists the heart to produce more regular heartbeats with the help of a small electric stimulation. Both of these devices are typically placed under the skin of chest, below the collarbone. A cardiac resynchronization therapy device can be a half-dollar sized pacemaker that ‘resynchronizes’ the heart. As these devices improve the blood flow and efficiency of the heart, several heart patients suffering with moderate to severe symptoms are using these devices.
The efforts of ongoing research and development projects will come to fruition, producing next-generation CRM devices with efficient batteries. The batteries used in the aforementioned devices are expected to undergo significant transformations and upgrading, thereby accelerating demand.
Some of the major companies operating in the global market for CRM devices batteries are EaglePicher Technologies, Boston Scientific Corporation, BIOTRONIK SE & Co. KG, Greatbatch, Inc. (Integer), Quallion LLC, Medtronic, and St. Jude Medical, Inc.
