Vascular Access Device Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases

According to the World Health Organization 2021, Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. An projected 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32 percent of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85 percent were due to heart attack and stroke. For instance, according to World Heart Federation vision 2030, the number of CVD deaths is projected to rise from an estimated 18,9 million in 2020 to over 22,2 million in 2030 and 32,3 million in 2050.With the growing prevalence of diabetes, the number of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease is also expected to increase in the coming years, as diabetes is a major risk factor for CKD. The growing prevalence of these health conditions, particularly CKD and CVDs, is expected to support the growth of the market as tunneled and non-tunneled catheter devices are widely used in dialysis procedures and the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases.

Restraint: High costs involved in the placement and maintenance of vascular access device

Vascular access device are relatively costly devices and the price of the product changes with the type of vascular access device (VADs) used in a procedure. The average cost of a vascular access device varies from USD 150 to USD 900. Moreover, the physician price associated with the insertion of VADs varies from USD 20 to USD 90 per hour. The price of vascular access procedures rises in case of patient hospitalization, and complications such as central catheter bloodstream infections or occlusions can drastically rise the cost of the procedure. According to the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology, in the US, a central catheter bloodstream infection can shoot up procedure price to more than USD 25,000. These high placement and maintenance price for vascular access device (VADs) are expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period.

Opportunity: Technological advancements

Ultrasound is a broadly available, non-invasive technique and is thus the most broadly used vessel visualization method. As a cost-effective method, it allows the evaluation of vascular access maturity and diagnosis of complications; in the recent years, image-guided vascular access has emerged as a new, efficient method offering precise results. The use of ultrasound imaging during VAD insertion has become more common. It helps healthcare professionals visualize the veins in real-time, increasing the success rate of first-attempt insertions and reducing complications like accidental arterial punctures and hematoma formation.

Challenge: Shortage of skilled professionals

Skilled professionals are involved to handle vascular access device as their improper insertion may cause medical complications in patients. Complications like damage to blood vessels, bleeding at the site, entrance of air into the vein (air embolus), injury to the lung (pneumothorax), and bloodstream infections can happen during the usage of VADs. According to a survey on the latest business conditions conducted by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE), 35% of participants reported that there is a shortage of skilled professionals in the US. This shortage of skilled professionals in major markets across the globe is expected to affect the demand and uptake of VADs during the forecast period.

Vascular Access Device Market Ecosystem Map

By type, the central vascular access device segment is accounted for the largest share of the vascular access device industry during the forecast period

Based on type, within the vascular access device market, there are peripheral access device, central vascular access device, and accessories holding a significant portion. The central vascular access device segment is hold the largest share of the global vascular access devices market. This predominance is attributed to the wide usage of central vascular access device in chemotherapy and in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders and chronic kidney disorders.

The drug administration accounted for the largest share of the vascular access device industry during the forecast period, by application

Based on applications, vascular access device market is divided into segments including drug administration, fluid and nutrition administration, blood transfusion, and diagnostic & testing. The significant share of the drug administration segment can be attributed to various factors. These factors include high usage of vascular access device for drug administration, particularly for the treatment of infections and cancer.

The hospitals segment accounted for the largest share of the vascular access device industry in 2022, by end user

Based on end users, the global vascular access device market categorized into hospitals, clinics & ambulatory centers, and other end users (nursing homes, laboratories, diagnostic & imaging centers, and home healthcare agencies). The dominance of this segment can be attributed to several significant factors. These factors include majority of vascular procedures are performed in hospital settings. Also, emergency care in hospitals requires VADs for blood transfusion and administration of various drugs.

North America to witness significant growth in the vascular access device industry from 2023 to 2028

On the basis of region, the global vascular access device market is segmented into-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. In 2023, North America projected to lead market share of the vascular access device market. This can be attributed to the region benefits from the presence of key players, a supportive reimbursement framework, and significant government investments in cutting-edge medical devices.
