In addition, the rising number of government and private healthcare institutions investing heavily for the development of new products with advanced characteristics, which increases the application area of marker bands, are further likely to enhance the medical marker bands market growth.

  • For instance, in April 2023, Penumbra, announced the expansion of its RED family of catheter devices for mechanical thrombectomy, which include features like articulating marker bands with short polymer tip design, low profile and atraumatic design, lumen integrity, and softer profile atraumatic navigation. The newly developed device has gained approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, as per the 510(k) premarket notification.

Moreover, significant advancements and improvements in marker band design and manufacturing techniques, which have improved their visibility under imaging modalities like X-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, allowing for accurate localization and positioning during procedures, enhancing precision and reducing potential errors, is likely to create new revenue opportunities for the companies operating in the market.  

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the medical marker bands market. With the spread of the pandemic, most of the large hospitals have started focusing on treatment of COVID-19 patients, which resulted in postponement of elective procedures and several other treatments, leading to declined demand for marker bands. Patients were also hesitant to visit hospitals or clinics for non-emergency treatments due to fear of exposure to the virus, that negatively influenced the market.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Rising popularity of regenerative medicine treatments, an increase in cancer cases worldwide drives the industry growth

The rising popularity and prevalence of regenerative medicine treatment across the globe, drastic increase in number of cancer cases worldwide, and widespread need for precise & minimally invasive surgeries owing to its ability to reduce morbidity, shorter recovery time, and enhanced clinical outcomes compared to several traditional or conventional methods like open-heart surgery, are among the major factors boosting the market growth and demand at rapid pace. Furthermore, with the constant surge in global population and rising health issues leading to higher need for effective treatment procedures, the healthcare expenditure across both developed and developing economies to cater the demand for healthcare products has grown drastically in the recent years, which in turn, propelling the growth of the market over the years.

  • For instance, according to a report from CMS, the total health care spending across the United States grew to USD 4.3 trillion or 4.2% in 2021 and the report also estimates that the country’s health care spending will be growing at an average rate of 4.9% from 2022 to 2024 and will hit USD 6.8 trillion in 2030.

By Material Analysis

Polymers segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022

The polymers segment accounted for largest market share in 2022, and is likely to retain its market position throughout the anticipated period, on account of growing preference for the material due to its high durability and excellent strength and its prevalence as an environmentally friendly material that can be easily recycled without losing any of its qualities. Additionally, polymers are well known because of its ability to offer a high degree of customization in terms of size, shape, and color, which enables the development of marker bands tailored to specific medical devices, procedures, or patient requirements, facilitating precise localization and identification, which in turn, pushing the segment market forward at rapid pace.

The platinum-iridium segment is projected to grow at significant growth rate over the next coming years, mainly attributable to its numerous beneficial properties including better stability and biocompatibility, that makes its suitable to be used in medical applications like marker bands used in procedures like vascular interventions and stenting. The rising incidences of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and heart valve disorders, resulting in high demand for medical devices like stents, catheters, and guidewires that uses platinum-iridium, is also contributing towards the market growth.

  • For instance, European Society of Cardiology stated that currently there are over 6 million new cases of cardiovascular diseases in the European Union every year, with around 49 million people are living with the diseases in EU. Every year, the disease cause over 3.9 million deaths in Europe and over 1.8 million deaths in the EU.

By Application Analysis

Hospitals segment held the maximum market share in 2022

The hospitals segment held the maximum market share in terms of revenue in 2022, which is mainly driven by widespread use of these devices in applications like hospital identification bracelets and patient wristbands and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions, which necessitates frequent medical interventions and surgeries. Along with this, the significant expansion of healthcare infrastructure including the establishment of new hospitals, creates a higher demand for medical marker bands. As healthcare facilities increase in number, the requirement for marker bands for various medical procedures also rises.

The medical device distributors segment is likely to gain substantial growth rate over the next coming years, that is largely accelerated by exponential growth in the usage of medical devices in various procedures and treatment and growing focus on major market players towards optimizing the supply chains through consolidating and streamlining distribution processes.
