According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, the market for clot management devices in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) will expand at a robust rate averaging 11.7 percent per year through 2017. The most significant growth will be in percutaneous thrombectomy devices and neurovascular embolectomy devices.
The growth of these emerging markets will be driven by growing clinical evidence and an increasing number of physicians trained in percutaneous techniques, as well as rising prevalence of peripheral artery disease, coronary heart disease and kidney diseases that require more clot management interventions.
In all of these countries, percutaneous thrombectomy is a relatively new procedure to physicians who now rely on systemic thrombolysis and vascular surgeries as the preferred treatment options. Emergence of clinical data demonstrating that percutaneous thrombectomy devices offer improved outcomes, reduce procedure times and treatment complications and expand treatable populations will increase uptake of the newer devices. As a result, the BRIC market for percutaneous thrombectomy devices, which include mechanical thrombectomy, aspiration thrombectomy and pharmacomechanical thrombectomy devices, will grow at an average annual rate of nearly 20 percent through 2017.
The BRIC market for neurovascular embolectomy devices will see significant technological innovation. Second-generation stent-based neurovascular embolectomy devices such as Stryker’s Trevo Pro and Covidien’s Solitaire FR will enter the markets in these countries by 2013. This market will grow at an average annual rate of over 20 percent through 2017.
“The main limiter in these countries is the lack of reimbursement for premium-priced technologies,” said MRG Analyst Tony Su. “Health insurance systems in these countries are relatively underdeveloped, and manufacturers face difficulties in obtaining approval for coverage with private health insurance companies. The main task for manufacturers is to collect clinical data demonstrating the clinical superiority of these more-expensive devices over those used in standard treatments to gain favorable reimbursement.”
