Regional Analysis

Increasing adoption of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds in North America is expected to boost the market growth

North America is expected to be held dominant position in the global bioresorbable vascular scaffold market, owing to rapid growth in geriatric population, rising incidences of cardiac ailments, coronary & peripheral artery diseases, and increasing number of obese people in the region. According to World Population Prospects, the number of persons aged 80 or over is projected to triple by 2050, from 137 million in 2017, to 425 million in 2050 in the U.S., while this age bracket is expected to more than double globally, rising from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050.

Moreover, key players in the market are focused on receiving regulatory approvals for novel products to reduce the burden of blood stream infections associated with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds. For instance, in May, 2018, Pursuit Vascular, Inc., received U.S. FDA clearance for broader indication of its ClearGuard HD caps to include reduction in the incidence of central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in hemodialysis patients with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds.
