Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain. A blood clot often forms in arteries damaged by the buildup of plaques (atherosclerosis). It can occur in the carotid artery of the neck as well as other arteries. This is the most common type of stroke.

There are three forms of strokes that are a frequent condition for everyone across the world: transient ischemic attack, hemorrhagic stroke, and ischemic stroke. The global ischemic stroke surgery market is being driven by factors such as an increase in physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles, the adoption and launch of technologically advanced products, and rising demand for minimally invasive procedures. Additionally, R&D activities and investments are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market players in the forecast period. However, the lack of medical facilities in developing countries and the shortage of skilled professionals will restrain market growth over the projection period.

Impact of COVID-19

The pandemic has affected the business landscape for many organizations around the world. The supply chain in the ischemic stroke surgery devices market is the key to fulfilling customer demands. As a result of the pandemic, several countries had imposed import and export restrictions. This also affected the healthcare industry, as many countries are dependent on other countries for raw material supply and technology. Raw materials required for manufacturing ischemic stroke surgery devices faced a shortage during the first half of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has moderately disrupted the production and revenue of many companies. The pandemic had a slight negative impact on the global production of ischemic stroke surgery devices during the peak time of the pandemic in 2020. However, the majority of the players saw positive growth in the revenue of ischemic stroke surgery products in 2021 as supply chains were gradually restored and restrictions were reduced owing to the increasing percentage of vaccinated people and a global decline in infection rates.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles

Sedentary lifestyles have a significant impact on the global population's overall health. Rising sedentary behaviors, such as office work and increased indulgence in television and video devices, are having an impact on the overall human body mechanisms. For example, it decreases lipoprotein lipase activity, muscle glucose, protein transporter activity, and carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, it reduces cardiac output and systemic blood flow while activating the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in decreased insulin sensitivity and vascular function. As a result, there is a substantial risk of developing life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension (HTN). After a prolonged period of time, these diseases can lead to an ischemic stroke.

• Adoption and launch of technologically advanced products


• Rising demand for minimally invasive procedures

Restraints

• Lack of medical facilities

Ischemic stroke necessitates adequate surgical facilities, diagnosis facilities, and awareness. However, the lack of awareness in developing countries is a critical restraint for the global ischemic stroke surgery market. The lack of awareness is related to the symptoms of an ischemic stroke and the inaccessibility of surgical procedures in developing countries. In addition, imaging services are limited to urban and metropolitan areas, where only 30% of the Indian population resides, making thrombolysis unavailable to 70% of the population. Thus, such inadequate facilities are a hindrance to the growth of the global ischemic stroke market.

• Shortage of skilled professionals

Opportunities

• R&D activities and investments

There are several opportunities in the worldwide market for ischemic stroke surgery due to growing urbanization and an ageing population in the Asia-Pacific region.

The value chain analysis of the ischemic stroke market comprises major components starting from research and product development (R& D), followed by the manufacturing of the products, distribution & sales, and ends with post-sales services.

Ischemic Stroke Surgery Market Segment Overview

The global ischemic stroke surgery market has been divided based on type of surgery, product type and end user.

By Type of Surgery

Based on type of surgery, the market is segmented into thrombectomy, revascularization surgery, carotid endarterectomy, angioplasty, and others.

Global Ischemic Stroke Surgery Market Share (%), by Type of Surgery, 2021

• Thrombectomy

A surgery to remove a blood clot from a blood vessel is known as a thrombectomy (artery or vein). A blood clot, often referred to as a thrombus, can cut off the blood supply to the organs and/or extremities, which might be fatal or limb-threatening.

• Revascularization Surgery

Revascularization is a surgical procedure that improves blood flow to the brain and reduces the risk of stroke and other types of brain tissue damage. Several medical diseases that restrict blood supply to the brain are treated with revascularization surgery. These diseases include carotid artery disease, moyamoya syndrome, and cerebral artery atherosclerosis. The risk of cerebral ischemia or an ischemic stroke increase with each of these disorders. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) may also result from the above-mentioned disorders.

• Carotid Endarterectomy

A stroke may occur if the carotid arteries constrict significantly enough to obstruct blood flow or if a piece of plaque breaks off and obstructs blood flow to the brain. A transient ischemic attack, sometimes known as a "mini-stroke," is characterized by stroke-like symptoms that last for only a few minutes to a few hours. A procedure used to treat carotid artery disease is known as carotid endarterectomy.

• Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins. It is also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. During angioplasty, blood clots can break free and travel to the brain. In addition, angioplasty is frequently combined with the insertion of a small wire mesh tube known as a stent. The stent keeps the artery open and reduces the likelihood of it narrowing again.

• Others

Other surgical procedures used for removing the blood clots are mechanical embolectomy and decompressive craniectomy. Mechanical embolectomy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to clear a blood vessel blockage. Mechanical embolectomy devices can be used routinely up to six hours (sometimes even 12 hours) after the onset of stroke symptoms, but each hour reduces the benefits while increasing the risks. Mechanical embolectomy is a different procedure than thrombectomy, as embolectomy is the removal of an embolus, and thrombectomy is the removal of a thrombus.

By Product Type

Based on product type, the global ischemic stroke surgery market has been categorized into catheters, aspiration system, guidewire, microcatheter, and others.

• Catheters

A catheter is a thin, flexible tube that allows fluids to be injected or removed from your body for a variety of surgical purposes. A catheter is inserted through an incision in the leg and up to the blocked artery, allowing the doctor to remove the blood clot.

• Aspiration System

An aspiration system is used for the removal of fluid or other tissues from the body to test them for diseases and disorders. Depending on the system purchased, a typical setup consists of a low-pressure vacuum pump, a collection bottle, and an interface with varying levels of control and precaution.

• Guidewire

A guidewire is a thin, flexible medical wire that is inserted into the body to direct the placement of a relatively large instrument, such as a catheter, central venous line, or feeding tube. A guidewire's purpose is to gain access to blood vessels using a minimally invasive technique.

• Microcatheter

Microcatheters are small 0.70-1.30mm diameter catheters used in complex endovascular procedures for guidewire support, exchanges, accessing distal anatomy, crossing lesions, delivering therapeutic embolic, injecting contrast media, and performing other endovascular procedures.

• Others

Other products utilized in ischemic stroke surgeries include microsnare, stents, and retrieval devices. A numerous, particularly tiny retrieval loop for interventional (neuro-)radiology and cardiology is called a microsnare. The microsnare is designed for retrieval and manipulation of atraumatic foreign bodies in the coronary and peripheral cardiovascular systems, as well as the extracranial neurovascular anatomy.

By End User

Based on end user, the global ischemic stroke surgery market has been categorized into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
