“Steerable Microcatheters segment to register highest CAGR over the forecast period of 2023-2028”

Based on the product type, the microcatheter market is segmented into Delivery Microcatheter, Aspiration Microcatheter, Diagnostic Microcatheter, and Steerable Microcatheter. Steerable Microcatheters segment to register a highest CAGR over the forecast period of 2023-2028. Steerable microcatheters are often used in minimally invasive procedures, such as interventional radiology, neurovascular interventions, and peripheral vascular interventions. These procedures offer advantages over traditional open surgeries, including reduced patient trauma, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and lower healthcare costs. The ability to navigate and steer microcatheters within the body's intricate vasculature allows for precise and targeted treatments, further supporting the growth of steerable microcatheters.

“The Neurovascular application segment to register highest CAGR over the forecast period of 2023-2028”

Based on the application, the Microcatheters market is segmented into Cardiovascular, Neurovascular, Peripheral Vascular, Urology, Otolaryngology, and other applications. Ongoing advancements in microcatheter technology, including improvements in materials, designs, and coatings, enhance the navigational capabilities and deliverability of neurovascular microcatheters. These advancements enable physicians to reach challenging intracranial locations with greater precision and control, expanding the range of treatable lesions and improving procedural outcomes. Governments, healthcare organizations, and research institutions are investing in improving neurovascular healthcare infrastructure. This includes the availability of advanced neuro-interventional suites and the adoption of state-of-the-art neurovascular devices, including microcatheters. Such investments contribute to the growth and adoption of neurovascular microcatheters in medical facilities.

“The single-lumen microcatheter segment accounted for the largest share of the microcatheter market in 2022-2028”

Based on the design, the microcatheter market is segmented into single-lumen microcatheter and Dual and Multi-lumen Microcatheter. The dual and multi-lumen microcatheter segment design segment is estimated to hold a significant market share of the microcatheter market during the forecast period.

Duel and multi-lumen microcatheters are medical devices used in various interventional procedures, particularly in the field of minimally invasive surgery. They consist of small, flexible tubes with multiple lumens (channels) that allow the simultaneous delivery of fluids, medications, and medical instruments to the target site. The drivers for using duel and multi-lumen microcatheters include:

Enhanced Procedure Efficiency: By incorporating multiple lumens within a single catheter, duel and multi-lumen microcatheters can streamline procedures by reducing the need for multiple catheter insertions. This can save time and improve overall procedural efficiency.

“Hospitals, Surgical Centers, and Specialty Clinics’ segment to register for the highest growth rate of the microcatheters market in 2022-2028”

The major end users in the microcatheters market are hospitals, surgical centers & specialty clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers. The Ambulatory surgical center’s end-user segment is estimated to hold a significant market share of the microcatheter market during the forecast period. Ambulatory surgical centers focus on providing same-day surgical procedures that minimize the need for hospitalization. Microcatheters play a vital role in enabling minimally invasive procedures, which are often preferred in ASCs due to their shorter recovery times, reduced pain, and lower cost compared to traditional open surgeries.

Technological Advances: The advancements in microcatheter technology have made these devices more versatile, reliable, and user-friendly. Improved catheter materials, enhanced flexibility, and smaller profiles allow for precise navigation through complex anatomical structures, making microcatheters suitable for a broader range of procedures performed in ASCs.

“Asia Pacific to register significant growth in the market during the forecast period.”

In 2022, the APAC region is expected to register significant growth in the market during the forecast period. Asia Pacific comprises India, China, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and RoAPAC. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has witnessed a significant increase in the market for microcatheters. Several factors have contributed to this growth:

APAC countries have been experiencing rising healthcare expenditure, driven by economic growth, increasing population, and improved access to healthcare. This has led to greater investment in advanced medical technologies, including microcatheters, to support minimally invasive procedures and improve patient outcomes.

The APAC region has a large aging population, which is more prone to chronic diseases and requires specialized medical interventions. Microcatheters are extensively used in the management of cardiovascular diseases, neurovascular disorders, and other age-related conditions. The growing aging population has fueled the demand for microcatheters in APAC.

APAC countries have seen a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurovascular disorders. Microcatheters play a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of these conditions, leading to an increased demand for these devices in the region.
