Prosthetic Heart Valve Market

Prosthetic Heart Valve Market Research, 2031

The global prosthetic heart valve market size was valued at $6.9 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $19.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2022 to 2031.

In patients who have valvular incompetence, stenosis, or both, prosthetic heart valves (PHVs) are utilized to replace diseased native valves. Heart valve replacement therapies are in high demand due to factors such as aging population and increasing number of individuals diagnosed with heart valve diseases. Prosthetic heart valves are increasingly being used to replace native heart valves that need to be replaced. Mechanical heart valves, bioprosthetic heart valves, and homograft valves are the three main types. The goal of an artificially implanted valve is for it to behave like a natural valve in terms of hemodynamics and side effects (low thrombogenicity). Over the last few years, major technological advancements have enabled manufacturers to build extremely effective, long-lasting devices with improved hemodynamics, resulting to an increase in demand for prosthetic heart valves. In the coming years, sales are likely to be driven by the development of durable tissue heart valves, suture-less valves, and anti-calcification technologies. These devices, which are surgically placed into the heart to replace a broken heart valve, offer a number of benefits. Mechanical heart valves, for example, are extremely long-lasting and can last up to 30 years in optimum conditions. Furthermore, because they lower the risk of blood clotting on the valve surface, these valves are in high demand.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted workflows in healthcare sector across the globe. As per the government ban and restrictions, surgeries were postponed and manufacturing of prosthetic heart valves was delayed during the pandemic causing the global market to witness decline in the growth during initial wave of COVID-19.

Rise in burden exerted by valvular heart diseases, increase in geriatric population, shift towards sedentary lifestyle of people, novel advancements in heart valves, increase in awareness regarding surgical treatment options, and growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries are factors propelling the market growth. For instance, according to the American College of Cardiology, approximately 5 million Americans are detected with heart valve disease annually. However, high cost of prosthetic heart valves and availability of alternative options for treatment of heart valve disease are some of the major factors limiting the growth of the market. Other fluid mechanics characteristics, such as pressure drops, regurgitation volumes, or turbulence, can also be approximated using computational tools, which is another important driver of the heart valve repair and replacement business. Furthermore, the availability of computational tools allows for accurate valvar disease detection, which leads to proper treatment, boosting the prosthetic heart valve repair and replacement industry.

The necessity for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgeries has grown as the prevalence of valvular heart disease has increased, thus propelling the market for prosthetic heart valve devices and equipment. Aortic stenosis is a valvular heart condition that affects the heart's aortic valve. TAVR is a minimally invasive surgical method used to treat it. Aortic stenosis causes the aortic valve to stiffen, preventing blood from flowing normally through it. A transcatheter valve is utilized to replace the damaged aortic valve. Volumes have increased every year, according to a research from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) TVT Registry. For the first time in 2019, TAVR passed all kinds of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). According to the FDA's approval of TAVR for low-risk patients, the yearly volume of TAVR is increasing every year, and in 2019, the total volume of TAVR (72,991) passed all kinds of SAVR (57,626). As the incidence of valvular heart disease rises, the number of TAVR procedures performed is likely to escalate as well, thus increasing the demand for transcatheter valves, which, in turn, is expected to drive the prosthetic heart valve market growth.

In response to the second wave of COVID-19, the prosthetic heart valves industry grew at a stagnant pace, owing to surge in prevalence of cardiovascular disorders among COVID patients. This eventually led to increase in use of various types of prosthetic heart valves, which are inserted using a minimally invasive surgery. Thus, overall COVID-19 had a minimal impact on the global prosthetic heart valve market.

The prosthetic heart valve market is segmented into and Product. On the basis of product, the market is segregated into mechanical heart valve, tissue heart valve, and transcatheter heart valve. The tissue heart valve segment is further bifurcated into stented tissue heart valve and stentless tissue heart valve. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Segment Review

By product type, the transcather heart valve dominated the market in 2021, and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to surge in cardiovascular disorders and surge in demand of cardiac valve replacement therapy.

Snapshot of prosthetic heart valve market, by region

Among region, the North America captured major prosthetic heart valve market share, owing to rise in medical expertise,  new product launches,  and government regulations that provide an easy access to production & maintenance of cardiac valve devices. Moreover, rise in prevalence of lifestyle disorders such as diabetes and obesity acts as a major factor contributing toward the dominance of the region. Asia Pacific is expected to register higher CAGR during the prosthetic heart valve market forecast owing to increase in prevalence of cardiac disorders such as aortic stenosis, developing healthcare infrastructure in countries like China, India and constant focus of market players to invest in emerging markets. For instance, according to the data published by the Hope for Hearts, it is estimated that 1 in 8 geriatric people in Australia is suffering from aortic stenosis. Also, it was estimated that a minimum of 97,000 Australians above the age of 55 years are living with severe aortic stenosis (AS).
