Industry Outlook
The pancreatic fistula treatment market stood at US$ 1,708.6 Mn in 2017 and projected to exhibit compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. The International Study Group for Pancreatic Fistulas (ISGPF), defines post-operative pancreatic fistula as ‘external fistula with a drain output of any measurable volume after post-operative day three with an amylase level greater than three times the upper limit of the normal serum value’. Based on the clinical impact of the fistula on the patient’s hospital stay duration and treatment outcome, pancreatic fistula is categorized into grade A, B and C. Acute and chronic pancreatitis are the major causative factors for pancreatic fistula (55%) followed by iatrogenic factors such as surgery, percutaneous drainage of pseudocysts, and biopsy (35%), and in rare cases trauma (10%). Administration of total parenteral nutrition and somatostatin analogs are the common measures used for treating pancreatic fistulas, followed by surgical intervention through ERCP and stenting; indicating unavailability of exclusive treatment option (either drug or device) specifically addressing pancreatic fistula. In the future, as the purview of minimally invasive procedures further proliferates the market may witness the emergence of new avenues.
Market Synopsis
Higher Adoption of Surgical Techniques for Pancreatic Fistula Treatment to Drive Market Growth
In 2017, surgical devices segment dominated the market owing to comparatively higher adoption of medical devices to diagnose and treat pancreatic fistula. In addition, extensive use of sphincterotome, biliary & pancreatic stents, guidewires, balloons, and cannulae while performing ERCP to manage pancreatic fistula is supporting the dominance of the ERCP devices segment. Total parenteral nutrition segment dominated the drugs segment attributed to augmented demand for parenteral nutrition products including single dose amino acid solution, carbohydrates, parenteral lipid emulsion, trace elements, vitamins, and minerals as it suppresses production of pancreatic enzymes by restricting the oral intake of food and maintains the nutrition of the patient. Increasing launches of generic drugs & pipeline of octreotide drugs in clinical trials are expected to support the market growth of drugs segment in the near future.
Increasing Healthcare Infrastructure in Asia Pacific to Drive the Growth during the forecast period
In 2017, North America accounted for the largest share in global pancreatic fistula treatment market, due to key driving factors such as rising prevalence of pancreatic cancer and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. With the growing incidences of pancreatic fistula, more number of research studies are being carried out in the region to enhance the usage of endotherapy to minimize the complication of pancreatic fistulae. High funding for R&D from the U.S. Federal Government coupled with presence of major medical device companies in the region would assist North America maintain its pole position during the forecast period. Asia Pacific emerged as the fastest growing region in the global pancreatic fistula treatment market owing to growing geriatric population susceptible to pancreatic cancer, adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and other gastrointestinal and lifestyle diseases. Growing healthcare infrastructure for efficient and preventive pancreatic surgeries will increase the demand for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) devices for the management of pre and post-operative complications related to pancreatic surgeries.
