Drivers
Rising Prevalence of Target Diseases
Increased prevalence of diseases such as various types of cancers, peripheral vascular diseases, uterine fibroids and need for controlling haemorrhage in severe traumatic conditions is generating a large patient pool across the globe need effective treatments. Growing preference of healthcare providers and patients for minimally invasive procedures such as embolization to reduce patient trauma, accelerating time of recovery, shortening hospital stays and improving patient outcomes is driving the market growth.
High Costs of Devices and Procedures
Embolization procedures are highly expensive as it involves the use of sophisticated medical devices, specialized embolic agents and also require imaging guidance. Additionally, costs associated with hospitals stays and other fees is unaffordable for most patients, especially in low and middle-income countries which can significantly restrain the growth of the embolization particles market.
Expanded Therapeutic Applications
With the ongoing advancements in medical technology, researchers and pharmaceutical companies are focused on expanding the use of embolization particles for new therapeutic indications. Research activities and clinical trials are being carried for various applications such as for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), chronic pain management such as Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for osteoarthritis, chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), in pelvic venous congestion syndrome, diabetic foot ulcers and hemorrhoidal disease. These expanding applications as well as continuous advancements in developing innovative and specialized embolization particles is creating lucrative opportunities for market growth.
What Made Radioembolization the Dominant Segment in 2024?
By product type, the radioembolization segment dominated the market in 2024. Radioembolization (TARE) is a vital treatment option applied in various types of cancers, majorly in hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver cancers as well as in several peripheral vascular conditions, uterine fibroids and aneurysms. Increased preference towards minimally invasive procedures, continuous innovations in radioembolization spheres, advancements in imaging modalities, improvements in catheter technology and access to sophisticated software tools are driving the market dominance of this segment.
By product type, the drug eluting beads segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the predicted timeframe. Rising cases of vascular diseases, various types of cancers and trauma incidents are driving the demand for drug- eluting beads (DEB). Transarterial Chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) is considered a high effective option for treating cancers such as neuroendocrine tumors and renal cell carcinoma.
DEB embolization being a minimally invasive procedure offers multiple benefits such as lower complication rates, less scarring and trauma, reduced recovery times and decreased systemic toxicity. Furthermore, increased demand for interventional radiology procedures, expanding applications based on real world clinical evidence, rising investments for advancing healthcare infrastructure and shift towards personalized treatments are the factors anticipated to propel the market growth of this segment in the upcoming years.
Why Did the Oncology Segment Dominate in 2024?
By application, the oncology segment held the largest market share in 2024. Globally rising burden of various types of cancer, especially kidney cancer, liver cancer and metastatic colorectal cancers is creating the demand for minimally invasive, safe and effective therapeutic approaches such as embolization procedures.
