U.S. Implantable medical devices market– Driver

Escalating Prevalence of Heart Diseases Propels Industry Growth

The industry is witnessing significant growth driven by the rising occurrence of various disorders in cardiovascular, ophthalmology, orthopedic, plastic surgery, dental, and neurology fields. Among these, heart diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), congenital heart defects (CHDs), and stroke, emerge as the primary cause of global mortalities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 17.9 million deaths occur each year due to these heart conditions, accounting for around 31% of all global fatalities. Notably, CHD affects around 7.4 million individuals, while stroke claims the lives of approximately 6.7 million people annually. Projections suggest that by 2030, CVDs will be responsible for an estimated 23.6 million deaths worldwide. Unhealthy dietary habits, excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption, and sedentary lifestyles are major contributing factors to the increasing incidence and prevalence of heart diseases. With the continued upward trend in these conditions, there exists a significant market opportunity for future growth.

U.S. Implantable medical devices market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others faced problems regarding transportation of drugs from one place to another.

The COVID-19 pandemic initially had a negative impact on the U.S. implantable device market due to postponed surgeries and redirected resources. However, as the healthcare system adapted and vaccinations progressed, the market gradually recovered. Increased awareness of healthcare and remote patient monitoring created new opportunities. Overall, the market demonstrated resilience and adaptability, leading to recovery and potential long-term growth.

As per an article titled “Implantation of cardiac electronic devices in active COVID-19 patients: Results from an international survey” published in February 2022, in hospitals around the world, Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedure rates for known active COVID-19 disease ranged from 0 to 16.2 per 1000 patients. High rates of complications and mortality were observed in patients with active COVID-19 infection who had CIED implantation. Before performing CIED implantation in patients with active COVID-19, operators should weigh these risks. These above mentioned factors are expected to have a significant impact on the growth of the market growth during and after the post-pandemic.
