Therapeutic Medical Guide Wire Market Size was valued at USD 2.1 Billion in 2023. The Global Therapeutic Medical Guide Wire industry is projected to grow from USD 2.5 Billion in 2024 to USD 3.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.89% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).
Guidewires are the medical devices used in surgical procedures such as interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, gastroenterology, vascular surgery, and many others. They are made up of stainless-steel metallic structures that are used to guide the catheter for placement.
Majorly, there are two types of guide wires, i.e., solid guidewire and wrapped guidewire. Both types have one end rigid and other-end flexible. The most commonly used are the straight tip, J-shaped tip, and angled guide wires. Multiple successful cases of biliary cannulation have been observed using a J-shaped tip guidewire.
The rising prevalence of chronic disorders, growing preference towards minimally invasive surgical procedures, and technological advancements in medical guide wire are the major drivers propelling market growth. However, the lack of skilled physicians and guide wires associated problems may hinder the growth of the market.
The burden of chronic disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and cancer is increasing globally. According to the report published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2017, nearly 92.1 million adults dealing with at least one type of cardiovascular disease. The rising prevalence of chronic disorders has increased demand for therapeutic guidewires. Thus, the rise in cases of chronic disorders strongly promotes the growth of the market. Additionally, growing preference towards minimally invasive surgical procedures and technological advancements in medical guide wire is likely to support market growth. On the other hand, lack of skilled physicians and guide wires associated problems is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
