TAVR Market

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Market Size (2022 to 2027)

The global TAVR market is projected to grow from USD 3.06 billion in 2022 to USD 7.14 billion by 2027, witnessing a CAGR of 18.50% during the forecast period.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure replacing improper functioning aortic valves. TAVR offers an efficient valve replacement procedure compared to open-heart surgery to benefit high-risk patients. Transcatheter heart valve replacement systems are referred to as cardiovascular devices that replace old and damaged valves. TAVR is used to treat aortic valve disorders such as severe aortic stenosis, degeneration, & regurgitation. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement devices are integrated with a valve frame (made of Nitinol or stainless steel) and valve leaflet material (bovine or cow heart tissue). These aortic valves are available in varied sizes (14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, & 29mm). TAVR is performed during different surgery methods such as transfemoral implantation (through the femoral artery), transapical implantation (through the apex of the heart), transaortic implantation (through the top of the right chest), and transcranial implantation (through the femoral vein).

A few of the key findings of the study:

• An increase in the vulnerability of severe aortic stenosis is observed with age, increasing the demand for TAVI systems.
• Around 524 million people were above 65 in 2010, which is expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050, constituting about 16% of the world population.
• Japan is the largest market in the Asia-Pacific region; it accounted for 76 % of the regional market share in 2017 due to the increasing older population and the approval of new implants.
• By material, Cobalt-chromium has a significant share (65%) in the valve material segment, followed by Nitinol in 2019.
• Transfemoral implantation accounts for the largest share by the method, with a market share of nearly 90%
• Bovine heart tissues have a significant market share of 81% by valve leaflets materials, followed by porcine tissue.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Y-O-Y growth in the prevalence of CVD and aortic stenosis, the growing adoption rate of minimally invasive therapies, and the rising geriatric population worldwide are significant factors driving the global TAVR market growth.

The growing number of patients worldwide suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension is one of the significant trends fuelling the market's growth. For example, cardiovascular disease causes the aortic valve to malfunction, which increases the demand for effective valve replacement procedures. Besides, increased funding for research and development activities, new product launches, and favorable reimbursement policies are likely to drive the market.

The elevating acquisition of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and technological improvement in the transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure is anticipated to reduce overall hospital stays. It, in turn, aims to reduce healthcare spending. Besides, geographic expansion, financing, and adoption of advanced procedural devices and methods are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the risk associated with TAVR procedures, high costs of transcatheter aortic valves, lack of skilled professionals in some areas of developing markets, and device-related issues (such as device recalls, improper positioning of devices during implantation) are some of the factors restraining the growth of global TAVR market. In addition, strict regulations to restrict the approval of transcatheter devices to prevent surgical patient injury may hamper the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global TAVR market 

The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on patients with aortic valve stenosis is undisclosed, and there is unpredictability about the suitable treatment procedure for these patients. The Asia-Pacific Society approves this study for Interventional Cardiology. Due to the incapacity to have face-to-face analysis during the pandemic, an online survey was organized inviting prominent opinion leaders (cardiac surgeons / interventional cardiologists/echocardiologists) in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in Asia to participate. Responses to a series of questions connected to the impact of COVID - 19 on TAVI were assembled and analyzed. It then led to expert consensus guidance on the conduct of TAVI during the pandemic. Results The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a 27% (15-85) reduction in case volume, and 54% of operators required triage to treat their patients with severe aortic stenosis. The two most important parameters used for classification were symptoms and valve area. Peripheral changes included the introduction of teleconsultation, pre-procedural COVID-19 testing, optimization of protests, and the Cath lab setup. Besides, the length of stay was reduced from an average of 4.5 to 5 days. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the provision of TAVI services to patients in Asia.
