The global guidewires market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. The global guidewires market is currently witnessing strong growth. A guidewire is a thin and flexible tube used for introducing, guiding and placing medical devices inside the patient’s body. It is usually manufactured using nitinol, stainless steel, platinum, palladium, bimetal, tungsten and polymers that offer high tensile and torque strength, durability and resistance to fatigue. Guidewires are crucial for conducting vascular interventions and minimally invasive (MI) surgeries, as they are coated with hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds to increase lubrication and are used for reaching lesions in the blood vessel. These wires also improve device delivery and minimize the risk of vascular injuries, owing to which they find extensive applications in various cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urology and interventional radiology procedures.
The increasing prevalence of chronic disorders across the globe, along with the growing preference for MI procedures, is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Guidewires are primarily used for conducting bariatric procedures and diagnosing and treating various neurological and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as ischemic heart disease, brain aneurysm and nephrolithiasis. In line with this, the utilization of nitinol materials for manufacturing products that offer enhanced biocompatibility, steerability and elasticity are also contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the development of innovative stainless steel and coated guidewires is creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, including the rising geriatric population, which is more susceptible to medical ailments, along with the improving healthcare infrastructure, are expected to drive the market further. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global guidewires market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during 2021-2026.
