The vascular plugs market size was valued at USD 109.9 million in 2021 and is projected to grow USD 116.2 million in 2022 to USD 178.5 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.3% during 2022-2029. North America dominated the global market with a share of 46.49% in 2021.


Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of -11.0% in 2020 as compared to 2019. Vascular plugs are widely used to selectively occlude blood vessels across the vasculature. These plugs possess embolic materials and occlusion devices and are used as an alternative to embolic coils. These devices are also cost-effective, as multiple coils may be required to block a specific artery, whereas a single plug can perform the same function. As per the application, these devices can be categorized into arterial & venous embolization plugs, congenital heart malformation closure plugs, and others.


Globally rising prevalence of vascular disorders and an increasing number of peripheral embolization procedures is expected to boost the adoption rate of these devices during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by Hindawi in 2019, it was estimated that the prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) was around 10.0% to 20.0% among the global population. The growing investment by market players in the research & development of technological advances is further expected to propel the market growth during the 2022-2029 period.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Decline in Non-essential Surgeries during COVID-19 to Hamper Sales of Vascular Plugs


The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global vascular plugs market growth in 2020. Key players in the market witnessed a decline in their revenues due to decrease in the volume of vascular procedures and lower sales of devices. For instance, Abbott’s structural heart business segment, which included vascular plugs, witnessed a decline of -10.9% in 2020 compared to 2019 due to decrease in sales of core products.


Also, in different healthcare settings, critical healthcare resources were shifted to manage COVID-19 patients, resulting in limiting non-essential hospital visits and decline in the number of non-essential embolization procedures. For instance, according to the data published by AK Journals, it was reported that the number of embolization procedures decreased to -37.5% in Eastern Europe interventional radiology department in 2020 as compared to the previous year. Lockdown restrictions also impacted the healthcare supply chain, causing disruption of supply lines during the pandemic. However, to minimize the impact, several guidelines were published to prioritize the necessary embolization techniques for patients with vascular diseases. For instance, the American College of Surgeons published COVID-19 guidelines for triage of vascular surgery patients in 2020, giving detailed information regarding surgeries that must be postponed and surgeries that were essential based on the patient's condition.


LATEST TRENDS

Rising Shift toward Shape Memory Polymers is a Prominent Trend


Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) have been an exciting area for polymer innovation. The materials are made to remember the shape they were in and would return to the shape when triggered with some stimulus such as heat and light. The material serves a wide range of applications, which covers medical, industrial, electronics, textile, and others. During vascular embolization procedures, the SMP offers several unique advantages, such as it is highly compatible and exerts minimal force on anatomic boundaries.


This material is gaining popularity among significant players in the vascular plugs market. For instance, Shape Memory Medical Inc. developed an SMPs product family, including the IMPEDE, IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plugs, and IMPEDE-FX RapidFill. Also, these products are approved by the PMDA and CE Mark from the European Union. Hence, clinically proven advantages of using SMPs over alloys, such as nitinol & tin during intervention, have resulted in a gradual shift of manufacturers toward this new segment.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Prevalence of Vascular Diseases Globally to Boost Market Growth


Vascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery diseases are leading causes of illness and death in both developed and emerging countries. The rising prevalence of these conditions is presenting a large pool of patients requiring treatment and undergoing vascular embolization procedures every year.



  • For instance, according to an article published in The Lancet, in August 2019, the global prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in people aged 25 years and above was estimated to be around 5.5%.


Additionally, these devices are clinically proven to be a viable alternative to embolic coils during an embolization procedure. These devices can be repositioned, and their release can also be controlled as compared to the coils, which have a risk of distally migrating and then causing non-targeted embolization. Thus, the globally increasing number of patients undergoing vascular embolization procedures combined with multiple uses of these plugs and the related advantages to the device over coils positively impacts demand and subsequently led to the market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost Associated with Embolization Procedures & Lack of Reimbursement to Hamper Growth


Cost-effectiveness of vascular plugs with regards to embolic coils provides an added advantage to these devices for peripheral vascularization procedures. However, the cost of the device, along with the procedural costs, is one of the restricting factors for the uptake of these devices, especially in emerging countries. For instance, according to a report published by Boston Scientific Corporation, the hospital outpatient procedure for venous and arterial embolization costs around USD 10,043 in the U.S. Also, it was observed that the first hospital admission for embolization procedure does not serve as a permanent resolution of the expensive and debilitating procedure. Thus, the high cost of vascular embolization procedure along with the lack of favorable reimbursement policies in developing countries is anticipated to limit the adoption of these plugs during the forecast period.
