TechNavio today launched its report Global Bare Metal Stents Market 2011“2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers™ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Healthcare team said; The development of new alloys for the manufacture of coronary stents is expected to lead to an increase in the adoption of Bare Metal Stents (BMSs) in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). The usage of new alloys such as cobalt-chromium (CoCr) and platinum-chromium (PtCr) has led to the design and manufacture of advanced stents. Traditionally, stainless steel was used in the production of BMSs. Though flexibility and deliverability were achieved with the use of stainless steel, there was a loss of radiopacity and compression strength. These drawbacks were overcome through the use of CoCr stents, which enabled manufacturers to design stents with even thinner struts than before. This technological advancement will help drive the growth of the Global BMS market.
According to the report, globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as CHD and strokes are on the rise. The increase in the incidence of CVD is due to a variety of factors, such as obesity, diabetes, excessive smoking and alcohol consumption, and unhealthy lifestyles. Further, the rapidly increasing aging population is increasing the number of people prone to CVD. All these factors drive the demand in the Global BMS market.
Further, the report also discusses that the rising popularity of bio-absorbable stents is expected to adversely affect the market share of BMSs in the Global Coronary Stent market.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
