Tourniquet Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Component (Tourniquet Instrument, Tourniquet Cuffs [Pneumatic {Disposable, Reusable}, Non-Pneumatic]), By Application, And Segment Forecasts, 2018 - 2025

Report Overview

The global tourniquet systems market size was valued at USD 304.2 million in 2016 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period. The rise in geriatric population, which is highly susceptible to orthopedic conditions, coupled with increasing patient awareness is expected to drive the growth over the forecast period. In addition, greater flexibility and reliability of tourniquet systems has led to increasing demand for cuffs in recent years, hence increasing the application of such devices effectively.

U.S. tourniquet market, by component, 2014 - 2025 (USD Million)

In hospitals, tourniquets are specifically used during orthopedic surgeries, where external hemorrhage cannot be controlled by direct pressure. In addition, the device is also used during emergencies and life‐threatening limb hemorrhages or limb amputation with multiple bleeding points, for immediate management of breathing & airway problems. However, restraints such as the transmission of infection due to reusable cuffs might consequently increase the hospital costs and hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.

In developing countries such as India, Mexico, and Brazil, governments are continuously investing a huge amount of funds to improve hospital care. Increasing number of accidents, rising prevalence of orthopedic injuries, and rapid growth in foreign investments in developing nations of Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East are expected to boost the tourniquet systems market growth in these regions.

Tourniquet Systems Market Share Insights

Tourniquet cuffs dominated the overall space in 2016 owing to their growing applications in orthopedics, trauma, and emergency settings. Tourniquet cuffs are also available in various sizes, hence, they can be used in a number of orthopedic surgeries.

The pneumatic cuffs segment occupied the largest share in 2016. The segment is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period as pneumatic cuffs provide a standardized pressure that can be easily controlled and the compression is independent of the position and strength of the medical expert’s hand.

Application Insights

The global demand for tourniquets has seen a paradigm shift due to rising awareness amongst consumers. The hospital segment accounted for more than 42% of the total revenue share in 2016. Tourniquet systems are being used extensively as an essential tool for the management of life‐threatening external hemorrhage caused due to lower limb injury.

In addition, the noninstitutional application segment is expected to witness the highest growth from 2017 to 2025 due to the increasing application of tourniquets in military settings and war sites. Limb hemorrhages are one of the most common injuries caused by military wars. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, “point of significant hemorrhage from limb is not peripherally accessible due to entrapment” (during times when simple methods of hemorrhage control such as direct pressure cannot be adopted. In such cases, tourniquets can prove to be lifesaving without resulting in complications.

Global tourniquet systems market revenue, by component, 2016 (%)

Regional Insights

North America dominated the tourniquet industry with the largest revenue share in 2016. The dominance of this region is mainly attributed to factors such as the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure, large target population, and the high adoption rate of technologically advanced systems.

On the other hand, Asia Pacific was the fastest-growing region and accounted for around 16% of the total revenue in 2016. Emerging economies in the region including India, Thailand, and Indonesia have been experiencing strong economic growth. Growing population and an increasing number of major falls & road accidents have spurred the demand for tourniquet systems in the region. The Asia Pacific region will also benefit from the growing number of hospitals and laboratory settings, wherein the application of the tourniquet system is maximum.

Competitive Insights

The global tourniquet system sector is highly competitive and fairly concentrated, with a few companies accounting for the maximum share of the global market in 2015. Some of the major companies are Delfi Medical, Zimmer Biomet, Hammarplast Medical AB, VBM Medizintechnik GmbH, Stryker, Ulrich Medical, and Rudolf Riester GmbH.

However, some of the new entrants are expected to witness greater developments with better product offerings and technological advancements in the near future due to frequent mergers & acquisitions being undertaken as an attempt to maximize their share, which would eventually lead to greater market revenue.
