Bioresorbable scaffolds are medical devices used during numerous surgeries, as required when one suffers from coronary artery disease; bioresorbable scaffolds are recently introduced medical devices. Major driving factors for the growth of this market are increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise. According to WHO (2014), cardiovascular diseases accounted for a majority of deaths globally. Moreover, number of obese population across the globe is rising continuously. In 2014, globally 39% of adults aged 18 years and above were overweight, whereas 13% were obese. Furthermore, rapid development in devices used for the cardiovascular surgeries, rising demand for bioresorbable scaffolds, adoption of desk-bound lifestyle, and government’s support for research and development of better medical devices has fuelled the market’s growth. However, availability of alternative therapies and high cost of the bioresorbable scaffolds may slower the growth of this market.
Global bioresorbable scaffolds market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% during forecasted period of 2017-2023.
