Neurothrombectomy Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Device Type (Aspiration and Clot Retrievers), By End-user (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global neurothrombectomy devices market size was USD 672.7 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 737.1 million in 2024 to USD 1,672.7 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period (2024-2032). North America dominated the neurothrombectomy devices market with a market share of 41.92% in 2023.

Neurothrombectomy devices are clot removal products that are used to treat ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain, depriving it of oxygen and blood. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 87.0% of all strokes reported in the U.S. are ischemic strokes. The first treatment of choice for ischemic stroke is mechanical thrombectomy, where a clot is removed mechanically by a specialist using clot retrievers or suction devices and thrombolytic therapy, in which medication is administered to dissolve the clot.  

Globally, the increasing adoption of these devices is due to the rising awareness and incidences of acute ischemic stroke along with the demand for minimally invasive procedures. For instance, according to an article published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2023, annually, more than 795,000 people have a stroke in the U.S. Among this population, about 610,000 are people having strokes for the first time.  , increasing investments by market players in research and development of advanced devices and availability of reimbursement policies to cover treatment costs are some of the factors responsible for the growth of the market.

In 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the market growth. The government laid guidelines for hospitals to postpone non-essential surgeries. This reduced patient visits to the hospitals, further decreasing the diagnosis of neurological conditions and the number of neurothrombectomy procedures performed during 2020-2021. However, the rate of market growth slowly recovered to the pre-pandemic level. The market is expected to exhibit substantial expansion during the forecast period.

Neurothrombectomy Devices Market Growth Factors

Increasing Prevalence of Acute Ischemic Strokes to Drive Market Growth

One of the major drivers in the global market is the increasing prevalence of ischemic stroke. Due to higher prevalence rates, the awareness among patients and the need for treatment are also increasing. Some major countries, including India, China, and Japan, are implementing cost-effective treatments, government programs, and awareness campaigns on stroke treatment. Such initiatives, coupled with a robust prevalence rate, are driving the market growth.

• For instance, according to data published by the American Heart Association in 2023, the global age-standardized incidence rate of ischemic stroke is projected to increase to 89.32 per 100,000 population in 2030. 

Thus, recent technological advancements, growing demand for minimally invasive procedures, and availability of adequate reimbursement policies are boosting the adoption of neurothrombectomy devices globally.    

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost of Neurothrombectomy Devices to Hinder Market Growth

Among the treatment options available to treat ischemic stroke, mechanical thrombectomy is the main procedure where the blood clots are removed mechanically by a specialist. The procedure is highly specialized treatment thus requires specialized devices for the procedure. These devices are complex to design and expensive to manufacture. The process should be completed within 6 to 24 hours from the start of stroke symptoms.

• For instance, according to an article published by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in 2019, the cost of stent retrievers and aspiration catheters ranges from USD 625 to USD 1,530 and USD 1,700 to USD 5,700 per unit respectively.

Limited awareness, combined with the presence of a few thrombosis surgery centers in emerging countries, restricts the market growth in emerging countries.
