The global guide extension catheter market size is anticipated to reach USD 493.84 million by 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.22% from 2026 to 2033. Increase in patients with cardiac disorders such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, as well as rise in inclination toward minimally invasive procedures are the key factors anticipated to drive the guide extension catheter market growth.
The COVID-19 outbreak in the year 2020 was expected to have a negative impact on the guide extension catheter market. This is due to the decrease in the number of coronary surgical procedures. Both coronary angiography and PCI volumes decreased by 64.0% in April 2020 as compared to April 2019 according to NCBI in 2021. However, due to the ease of restriction, countries have resumed elective procedures, suggesting that the market will keep growing during the forecasted period. These qualities are anticipated to create lucrative market growth opportunities.
CVDs have become one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide during the last three decades. As per the CDC in 2021, heart disease is a leading cause of death in both sexes and members of the majority of the racial & ethnic groups in the U.S. Moreover, CVD claims 1 life every 34 seconds in the U.S. Guide extension catheters increase guide back-up support and are crucial in complex PCI procedures. Thus, increasing cases of CVDs globally are anticipated to drive the number of cardiac catheterizations, angioplasty, and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), thereby contributing to the market growth.
Moreover, technological advancements in guide extension catheters can support professionals in identifying patients with a high risk of disease which is anticipated to stimulate market growth. For instance, in May 2019, Medtronic announced the launch of Telescope (TM) Guide Extension Catheter, a newly designed catheter to provide additional backup support and access to distal lesions. As a result, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
