Atherectomy Devices Market

Atherectomy Devices Market Size:

The global atherectomy devices market size reached USD 1,022.4 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,524.5 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.31% during 2025-2033. The rise in peripheral artery disease (PAD), significant technological advancements, rising ageing population, advent of minimally invasive surgeries, development of healthcare infrastructure, and reimbursement policies in emerging economies represent some of the key factors driving the growth of the atherectomy market.

Atherectomy Devices Market Analysis:

• Major Market Drivers: The atherectomy devices market is affected by the increasing cases of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and other cardiovascular diseases. The rising ageing population that is more susceptible to these ailments, along with the rising instances of diabetes, obesity, and smoking, are creating an indirect demand for these devices. Moreover, technological advancements in atherectomy procedures and the growing popularity of minimally invasive surgeries are providing the market with substantial opportunities.
• Key Market Trends: The atherectomy devices market is expanding mostly due to significant trends like the increasing cases of PAD and the requirement for minimally invasive surgeries. Advancements in technology enable the production of more advanced devices, which, in turn, give better accuracy and shorter recovery periods. Directional atherectomy systems are also rising in popularity since they allow the user to target and remove atherosclerotic plaque without damaging the vessel wall. In emerging economies, the growth of healthcare infrastructure and better reimbursement situations are propelling atherectomy device availability and usage worldwide.
• Competitive Landscape: Some of the major market players in the Atherectomy Devices industry include Abbott Laboratories, Avinger, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Biomerics, Biotronik, Boston Scientific Corporation, C.R. Bard (Becton, Dickinson and Company), Cardinal Health, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Medtronic, Minnetronix Inc., Straub Medical AG (Becton, Dickinson and Company), Terumo Corporation, among many others.
• Challenges and Opportunities: The atherectomy devices market suffers from several challenges, including high device costs and tough regulatory requirements that cause delays in product launches. On the contrary, market opportunities are also influenced by the growing incidence of peripheral artery diseases and aging population, which lead to the need for efficacious treatment alternatives. Developments in technology which improve the performance and safety of device provide growth opportunity. In addition, the growth of healthcare infrastructure in the emerging markets creates new fronts of market expansion, which stimulates the worldwide demand for atherectomy procedures.

Atherectomy Devices Market Trends:

Rising Cases of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

The increasing cases of PAD at a global level due to ageing population and the rise in diabetes and obesity is leading the atherectomy device market growth. Approximately, PAD affects 8 to 12 million people in the United States, especially in those over 50. Out of these, 6.5 million over the age of 40 are diagnosed with PAD. Atherectomy devices provide a minimally invasive approach to remove arterial plaque as it is an important alternative in vascular interventions. The device enhances blood flow and reduces symptoms such as leg pain and fatigue. By directly cutting away or vaporizing the plaque, these devices help restore arterial patency, significantly improving patient outcomes in individuals with severe forms of PAD.

Technological Advancements

Major atherectomy devices innovations include the appearance of directionally controlled devices and high-frequency rotational technologies, which have continued to improve the effectiveness and safety of these devices. For instance, a 2020 study suggests that orbital atherectomy (which sands down plaque) effectively opens up blocked leg arteries 90 percent of the time, while laser atherectomy achieves similarly improved blood flow 76 percent of the time. These improvements in patient outcome and surgeon preference for these devices are propelling the growth of the atherectomy devices. In a multicenter study of 172 patients, Jetstream use had a 99% device success, and six-month and 12-month clinically-driven, target-lesion revascularization rates of 15% and 26%, respectively; with a one-year restenosis rate of 38% based on duplex imaging.

Expansion into Emerging Markets

Prominent key players are focusing on emerging economies where healthcare infrastructure development and growing healthcare spending is focused, thereby creating new opportunities for the key players in the market. For instance, the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) are increasingly shaping the landscape of the global health sector demand and supply for medical goods and services. Health spending as a percentage of GDP in 2030 is projected as - Brazil, 8.4%; Russia, 5.2%; India, 3.5%; China, 5.9%; South Africa, 10.4%. The penetration into these markets is enabled by realization of more advanced treatment alternatives, thus expanding the global footprint of atherectomy devices.

Directional Atherectomy Devices accounts for the majority of the market share 

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product. This includes directional atherectomy devices, orbital atherectomy devices, photo-ablative atherectomy devices, rotational atherectomy devices, and support devices. According to the report, directional atherectomy devices represented the largest segment.

Directional atherectomy devices are created to precisely eliminate atherosclerotic plaque from obstructed arteries. These instruments provide the possibility of accurate control, which reduces vessel wall trauma, an important aspect for patient safety and recovery. Their ability to treat complex lesions in multiple vessel sizes makes them to be favoured by vascular specialists leading to the growth of the product segment. The capability of the devices to collect and remove plaque during the procedure sets these devices apart and is in a number of clinical situations preferable.

Breakup by Application:
