The rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the specialty catheters market in the future. Cardiovascular diseases encompass a range of disorders that impact the heart and blood vessels, including conditions like coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure. This increase in cardiovascular diseases is influenced by various factors, including the growing prevalence of risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, along with aging populations and sedentary lifestyles. Specialty catheters play a crucial role in treating cardiovascular diseases by allowing for precise interventions, such as targeted drug delivery, angioplasty, and stent placement, which enhance blood flow and minimize the risk of heart attacks and other cardiac complications. For example, in May 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a U.S.-based government agency, reported that 702,880 individuals died from heart disease in the United States in 2022, and global heart disease fatalities are projected to reach 23 million by 2030. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is fueling the growth of the specialty catheters market.

Major companies in the specialty catheters market are advancing their product offerings with cutting-edge technologies such as TRUEref technology, which aims to improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of their devices.
