Cardiac Medical Devices Market in the US 2016-2020

Cardiac medical devices market forecast in the US

According to the cardiac medical devices market industry analysis, Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the cardiac medical devices market in the US to grow at a CAGR of around 2% by 2020. The rising incidences of cardiac disorders such as bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, atrioventricular blocks, ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and tachycardia is expected to propel the cardiac medical devices market growth in the US during the forecast period. With aging, the heart muscles lose their elasticity and ability to respond to different pressure rates, which in turn, makes older people more susceptible to cardiac disorders. In 2011, the American Heart Association estimated that about 326,200 people experienced out-of-hospital, sudden cardiac arrests in the US of which merely 10% survived due to immediate hospitalization. CRM devices such as automated external defibrillators can be used as an emergency life-saving measure in the advent of a sudden cardiac arrest. The rising incidences of sudden cardiac arrests will bolster the market growth for CRM devices in the US.

With the increasing popularity of robot-assisted surgery, the market for cardiac medical devices has a positive outlook until the end of 2020. Based on the cardiac medical devices market trends, the robot-assisted devices help surgeons perform complicated surgeries by providing a better visualization platform compared to traditional devices. This technology also allows easy maneuvering of surgical instruments within close-fitting spaces with utmost precision and control. Also, these minimally invasive surgical procedures enable patients to experience faster recoveries and less scarring than what is entailed during traditional invasive procedures. The preference for robotic-assisted surgery is expected to drive the market growth for cardiac medical devices in the US during the forecast period.
