Nitinol Market Trends

• 
  

  Growing technological developments in the health care sector is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for nitinol is being driven by the rising Technological Developments in the Health Care Sector. Small tubes called stents are inserted into clogged passageways. Stents made of nitinol have some special qualities that set them apart from other stents in terms of efficiency. Because of their clever design, these stents conform to the vessel wall and withstand its forces when inserted. Furthermore, despite the nickel content, these stents are less corrosive.

Additionally, because of the increased use of these gadgets brought about by technical developments, the medical device sector has grown. Additionally, the growing use of nitinol- and drug-eluting stents for the treatment of diseases is propelling the market, as medical device development continues to grow. The adoption of medical equipment increased as a result of new technology, such as corrosion resistance. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in medical technologies, including drug delivery systems, surgical robots, and diagnostic instruments. AI is utilized to improve the accuracy and efficacy of these technologies, as well as to develop remedies for illnesses. 3D printing is being used to make customized medical products like prosthetics, implants, and surgical tools.

Minimally invasive surgical methods involve a small incision to reduce the amount of bodily damage. Compared to typical surgeries, these techniques cause less discomfort. Due to the decreased risk of infection following these treatments, there is a greater demand for them. Devices based of nitinol have uses in laparoscopic procedures. Devices based on nitinol decrease the risk of infection, which increases their use in less invasive surgical operations. In 2020, 52% of surgical procedures were minimally invasive. In 2020, problems occurred in 29% of minimally invasive operations. Hospitals that launched robotic surgery programs swiftly and broadly adopted robotic surgery; yet, this was accompanied by a fall in traditional laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery.

For instance, the World Heart Federation recently estimated that the number of people who died worldwide from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which are the leading cause of death worldwide, increased by 60% from 12.1 million in 1990 to 20.5 million in 2021. Worldwide, 2% of deaths from cardiovascular disease are associated with rheumatic heart disease. Thus, result in driving the nitinol market revenue.

Cook Medical, for instance, received breakthrough device designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2022 for a novel drug-eluting stent below the knee. Specifically, this new stent is designed to treat patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Nitinol Market Segment Insights

Nitinol Type Insights

The global nitinol market segmentation, based on type includes 1-Way Memory Effect, 2-Way Memory Effect, and Full Memory Effect. The 1-way memory effect segment dominated the market. One-way shape memory effect: The inelastic strain is recovered by the reverse transformation brought about by heating; since stress has reoriented martensite variants, the reversion to austenite results in a large transformation strain that is directed in the opposite direction from the inelastic strain and causes the SMA to revert to its original shape.
