Guidewires MarketSize and Trends

According to the Journal of American College of Cardiology, an estimated 422.7 million prevalent cases of cardiovascular diseases were recorded globally in 2015, with 8.9 million deaths observed due to Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). The higher occurrence of cardiovascular diseases is attributed to the shift in lifestyle habits including dietary irregularities and smoking which results in growing incidences of obesity, thus resulting in the global guidewires market demand. Also, the demand for guidewires is increasing by the rise in patient awareness about the advantages of minimally invasive procedures like decreased traumatic surgical experience, faster recovery, fewer post-surgery complications, reduced incision wounds and higher patient satisfaction. Additionally, growing acceptance of guidewires among medical practitioners, rising research and development investments and surging number of market entrants are the factors propelling guidewires market. Growing use of guidewires for diagnostic and interventional purposes of cardiological diseases is expected to stimulate guidewires market over the forecast period.
