The global neurovascular devices market size was valued at USD 3.43 billion in 2023, and is projected to grow from USD 3.74 billion in 2024 to USD 7.30 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. North America dominated the global neurovascular devices market with a market share of 43.15% in 2023.

Neurovascular devices include stenting systems, embolization devices, and neurothrombectomy devices for treating neurovascular disorders such as brain aneurysms. The increasing prevalence of these disorders among the population and rising government initiatives to create awareness regarding treatment options are expected to fuel the product demand to manage these diseases.

• According to the data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in January 2021, around 800,000 people suffer a stroke in the U.S. annually, with more than 75% occurring in people aged 65 years and above.


• Also, as per the Brain Aneurysm Foundation in 2022, around 15.0 million people suffer strokes globally every year. It is also estimated that around 6.7 million people have an unruptured brain aneurysm, and brain aneurysm rupture occurs in around 30,000 people in the U.S. annually.

Furthermore, the increasing focus of market players on the development of new technologically advanced devices is expected to expand the availability of advanced devices for effective treatment, fueling the neurovascular devices market growth.

• For instance, in Feburary 2024, Route 92 Medical, Inc. completed the enrollment of its product HiPoint Reperfusion Catheters in the SUMMIT MAX clinical trial.

In 2020, after the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, the market experienced a slow growth in its value. This was due to restrictions in the number of patients visiting the hospitals and clinics depending upon the severity of their condition. However, the market experienced significant growth during 2021 and 2022 due to the high burden of neurovascular diseases and an increasing number of individuals taking the treatment.   

Neurovascular Devices Market Trends

Increasing Focus of Market Players on Adoption of Advanced Technology to Enhance Efficiency of their Product Offerings

Leading global and regional players have been constantly investing in R&D to focus on underpenetrated areas of neurovascular interventions and introduce new products in the market. The development of new embolic coils, aspiration catheters based on advanced technologies, and revascularization devices for ischemic strokes are some of the leading examples of strong shift toward advanced neurovascular devices.

Furthermore, market players have been emphasizing on conducting clinical studies to create strong clinical efficiency of their pipeline devices.

• For instance, Penumbra, Inc. is conducting a clinical trial called CHEETAH for its Indigo System CAT RX Aspiration Catheter to establish the performance and efficiency of these devices in clot retrieval. In November 2021, the company announced that the catheter achieved the primary endpoint in the Cheetah clinical study.


• In addition, NeuroVasc Technologies is conducting a clinical trial for its novel stent-retriever. In June 2022, the company announced the first patient treated in a clinical trial to evaluate its NeuroVasc Envi-SR novel stent-retriever for the endovascular treatment of ischemic stroke.

Ischemic strokes have been traditionally treated with alternative therapies, and a limited number of patients qualify for mechanical thrombectomy. Market players have identified the unmet needs and are focusing on introducing advanced devices to cater to the growing demand.

Neurovascular Devices Market Growth Factors

Rising Incidence of Neurovascular Conditions to Surge the Demand for Neurovascular Devices

The increasing prevalence of neurovascular conditions such as stroke, cerebral aneurysms, and others is one of the significant factors contributing to the rising patient population globally. The prevalence of these neurovascular conditions is higher in the geriatric population.

• According to data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, the risk of stroke increased by 50% from the last 17 years globally. Moreover, 1 out 4 individuals are expected to suffer from stroke during their lifetime.


• Moreover, as per a study published by Elsevier B.V., in 2023, the prevalence of stroke in elderly population was around 7.4% globally.

The prevalence of neurovascular disorders has been increasing significantly due to the rising geriatric population, sedentary lifestyle, and other factors. Rising burden of the disease along with increasing healthcare expenditure and rising awareness about the effective treatment has been fueling the number individuals undergoing neurovascular treatment, positively impacting the market. Furthermore, this has been facilitated by the reimbursement policies being laid down in various countries, which has fueled the preference toward these procedures, thereby driving the growth of the global market.

Increasing Government Initiatives to Create Awareness of Neurovascular Diseases to Fuel Market Augmentation

Neurological disorders requiring interventional treatment are among the conditions that do not show physical symptoms in the early stages. This has been a significant reason for the critical nature of these conditions. This has generated a need to establish a well-developed plan for efficient and timely diagnosis of these conditions.

Various global & national agencies and public & non-profit organizations have been actively focusing on establishing such plans to effectively and timely manage neurological conditions that require intervention.

• For instance, in May 2021, a declaration for the Stroke Action Plan was signed by the Ukrainian MoH for Europe to fight against stroke. This action was supported by the European Stroke Organization (ESO).


• Additionally, in 2019, the national plan for stroke was launched by the Ukraine’s Ministry of Health (MoH) to implement changes, ensure investments, and achieve technical excellence.

Such initiatives undertaken by hospitals, healthcare systems, associations/societies, and government health departments to improve diagnosis are projected to present a large patient pool undergoing treatment. This combined with developing healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries and introducing technologically advanced products for neurovascular interventional procedures is anticipated to surge the demand and adoption of these devices.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limitations Associated with the Use of Neurovascular Devices May Limit its Adoption Globally

Several government and private agencies are striving to establish clinical plans and guidelines and implement various initiatives to promote early and efficient diagnosis of patients suffering from neurological disorders.

However, despite the efforts of these organizations, there are many cases of delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of brain aneurysms due to the failure to conduct brain imaging scans, lack of expertise among the physicians and errors, especially in emergency departments.

• For instance, according to data published by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation in 2022, in the U.S., almost one of every four patients with brain aneurysms is misdiagnosed or receives a delayed diagnosis.

Moreover, the rate of delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis is considerably higher in developing countries such as India and China. The delay in these countries is mainly attributed to the factors such as limited awareness among the general population toward neurological disorders, limited access to well-developed healthcare infrastructure, and lack of established guidelines and plan of action by governing bodies.

Such factors are expected to limit the market growth during the forecast period.

Neurovascular Devices Market Segmentation Analysis
