BALLOON CATHETERS MARKET ANALYSIS

Leading Companies

Increasing product launches of innovative balloon catheters by key players for the treatment of the coronary heart diseases and peripheral heart diseases is expected to drive growth of the balloon catheters market over the forecast period

Manufacturers are focusing on product development and product launches of different types of balloon catheters such as over-the-wire, rapid exchange, fixed wire, drug eluting balloon catheters, and drug coated balloon catheters. For instance, in February 2016, Nipro North America, a division of Nipro Medical Corporation launched Cronus HP high-pressure, 0.035”, an over-the-wire percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon catheter. Moreover, in April 2015, Biotronik launched Pantera Pro, a semi-compliant coronary balloon dilatation catheter.

Adoption of inorganic strategies by major players in the balloon catheters market is expected to drive market growth

Major players are focused on adopting inorganic strategies such as collaborations, in order to strengthen the balloon catheter product portfolio by launching novel balloon catheters, which is expected to drive the global balloon catheters market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2014, NATEC Medical Ltd collaborated with US Endovascular LLC, a medical device company, to deliver the range of PTA balloon catheters, developed by the US Endovascular, in the U.S. market. The PTA balloon platforms includes balloon catheters such as USE 014” Rapid Exchange (Rx) and Over the Wire (OTW), USE018” OTW, and USE 035” OTW.

However, increasing product recall is expected to hamper growth of the balloon catheters market over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2019, Medtronic Plc., announced voluntary recall of certain balloon dilation catheters such as Euphora and Solarice semi-compliant rapid exchange balloon dilatation catheters that have proven to be difficult to remove from patients’ bodies, owing to their slightly higher diameter.

The key players operating in balloon catheters market include Abbott Laboratories, Becton Dickinson and Company, Boston Scientific Corporation, Bard Medical Division, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Johnson & Johnson, Teleflex Incorporated, Medtronic, Plc, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, and Vascular Solutions, Inc.
