Market Dynamics
Advancement in the Percutaneous Drainage Catheter devices is expected to drive market growth.
The 3D Pigtail Drainage Catheter Needle consists of a hollow-style needle within a plastic catheter is a new drainage catheter designed to achieve faster and more complete evacuation of various fluid collections from the body, including ascites and pleural effusion cysts and abscesses, amongst others. Moreover, In vitro, the proposed dual-lumen drainage catheter with dedicated flush lumen irrigation increased the evacuation of complicated fluid collections. The two prototype catheters (20- and 28-F) were created by incorporating a customized infusion lumen within the large-bore conventional drainage catheter wall, which facilitated simultaneous irrigation of the drainage lumen and the targeted collection via inward outward-facing infusion side holes. Thus, the market is expected to drive in the forecast period from the above statements.
Complications associated with the Percutaneous Drainage Catheters are expected to hamper the market growth.
The catheter used to drain a percutaneous abscess may become clogged or misplaced, necessitating manipulation or catheter replacement. Similarly, a big or complex fluid collection may necessitate the use of more than one abscess drain. If contrast material is injected during the procedure, there is a small chance of an allergic reaction. Percutaneous abscess drainage can occasionally cause injury to a nearby organ. Bleeding may occur on occasion. Thus, the market is expected to hamper the forecast period from the above statements.
Biliary Drainage Catheters segment is expected to hold the largest market share in percutaneous drainage catheters market
The biliary drainage catheters segment is expected to dominate in 2021. The segment benefits because internal-external PBD includes improved catheter security relative to external drainage, avoidance of a drainage bag, easy catheter exchange over a guidewire, and excellent access for adjunctive treatment of benign or malignant strictures. Moreover, the procedure follows, and an external biliary drainage catheter goes through the skin and into bile ducts. It is placed above the blockage. After this procedure, the catheter comes out of the body, attached to a drainage bag. Therefore, it has increased the demand for the product. Thus, the market segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the forecast period from the above statements.
Geographical Share
North America region holds the largest market share in the global percutaneous drainage catheters market
North America accounted for the highest revenue share. The increasing prevalence of kidney stones, well-established infrastructure, increasing demand and technological advancement in the devices, and product launches by the market players are some factors the market is expected to boost in the forecast period. For instance, The American Urological Association states that kidney stones affect up to 12% of the population sometime during their lifetime. With over 325 million people in the United States, numbers suggest that approximately 39 million Americans will experience a kidney stone at some point in their lifetime. Moreover, Merit Medical announced the commercial launch of the ReSolve Mini Locking Drainage Catheter, the newest addition to Merit's groundbreaking ReSolve Locking Drainage Catheters range. The ReSolve Micro is designed for percutaneous fluid drainage from body cavities. Its mini pigtail design is up to 42% smaller than the conventional ReSolve Locking Drainage Catheter pigtail, allowing the catheter to be put into small fluid pockets. Thus, the North American region is expected to hold the largest market share in the forecast period from the above statements.
