Guidewires Market

Market Insights

Growing demand for minimally invasive procedures, particularly in pediatric and geriatric patient groups, is anticipated to support the growth of the guidewire market. A growing number of geriatric patients with a higher risk of chronic diseases increasingly prefer minimally invasive surgeries for disease treatment due to major advantages such as quick procedural time, lesser risk of infection, and quicker recovery coupled with a shorter hospital stay.

For this report, the global guidewires market is studied for segmentation based on product types, materials, and geographical distribution. Coronary, peripheral, urology, and neurology guidewires are the key product types studied in this report. Based on material type, the global guidewires market is classified into stainless steel, Nitinol, and hybrid guidewires.

This report on guidewires categorizes the products segment into:

• Coronary
• Peripheral
• Urology
• Neurovascular

Coronary guidewires constitute the largest product segment in the overall guidewires market. Swift movements in the cardiovascular market, along with the rapid introduction of breakthrough products in this space, are the major trend in this market. Significant growth in the incidence of cardiac diseases and the growing demand for angioplasty procedures will correspondingly increase the demand for coronary guidewires.

Moreover, coronary guidewires’ average pricing is competitive and expected to remain the same through the forecast period, thus ensuring steady growth in this segment. In addition, the growing prevalence of renal diseases and the availability of a wide range of guidewires in this space will further augment the growth of urological guidewires in the global market.

Based on the material types, the commercially available guidewires are classified into Nitinol, stainless steel, and hybrid.

Nitinol is the most significant material increasingly used for manufacturing guidewires and stents. It is made of titanium and nickel and is known for its shape memory and enhanced elasticity. Its shape memory property allows the guidewires to adapt their shape at one temperature, thus offering better navigation and reach.

Enhanced elasticity in nitinol guidewires occurs at very small ranges of temperature. SE510, a super-elastic nitinol alloy, has a low transformation temperature, giving it a sturdy feel and making it an ideal material for guidewires with better kink resistance. Other than in guidewires, Nitinol is widely used in stents, ablation devices, atrial septal occlusion systems, heart port access devices, and other surgical equipment.

North America is the current leader in the guidewires market and is anticipated to progress at a steady growth rate during the forecast period. 

An overall increase in peripheral vascular procedures is anticipated to support the market growth of this region. The aging population in North America and Europe and favorable reimbursement for guided minimally invasive procedures are the major factors contributing to the high demand for guidewires in the developed markets. However, infections caused by peripheral vascular implantation procedures may prove to be a challenge for the ready adoption of these devices.

However, better patient education and proven treatment outcomes will mitigate the challenge. As a result, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Significant growth in the geriatric population and the swift adoption of minimally invasive procedures are the key drivers of this market. Rapid economic growth, the development of healthcare infrastructure, and the burgeoning medical tourism industry in Asia-Pacific also drive the market growth of this region.
