The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases globally is one of the prime factors propelling the catheters industry progress. As per the American Heart Association, in 2020, around 19 million deaths were attributed to cardiovascular diseases across the globe. Further, it was estimated that in 2020, 244 million people were living with ischemic heart disease (IHD) worldwide. The drastic shift in behavioural risk factors such as unhealthy diet, reduced physical activity, increased tobacco use, and excessive consumption of alcohol has promoted the prevalence & mortality rate related to CVDs. The surge in cardiovascular ailments is set to drive the number of hospitalizations & medical procedures that in turn is projected to drive the adoption of catheters.
According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the total prevalent cases of cardiovascular diseases surged exponentially from 271 million in 1990 to more than 520 million as of 2019. Also, the associated mortalities increased from 12.1 in 1990, to 18.6 million in 2019. Similarly, the incidence of myocardial infarction, valvular disease, congenital heart disease, and other cardiac diseases in that catheters are widely used as a part of the treatment of cardiovascular disorders would drive the demand for the product.
