Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Market To Grow Enormously with Size Worth $9.2 Billion By 2025 |Grand View Research, Inc.
The global cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) market size was
valued at USD 4.74 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9%
over the forecast period. Increasing incidence of heart failure(s) & other
cardiac disorders, stable R&D investment for technological advancements by
players, and rising sedentary lifestyle amongst the population are expected to
promote growth over the forecast period.
With
Covid-19 infections rising globally, the apprehension regarding a shortage of
essential life-saving devices and other essential medical supplies in order to
prevent the spread of this pandemic and provide optimum care to the infected
also widens. In addition, till a pharmacological treatment is developed,
ventilators act as a vital treatment preference for the COVID-19 patients, who
may require critical care. Moreover, there is an urgent need for a rapid
acceleration in the manufacturing process for a wide range of test-kits
(antibody tests, self-administered, and others). The report will account for
Covid19 as a key market contributor.
The Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) market has been in
existence since 2001 when the first device was introduced in August by
Medtronic Plc. This product “InSync,” was launched after it showcased
substantial improvement in exercising capacity of patients, Peak Volume Oxygen
Consumption (PVO2), and the reduction
of QRS duration recorded during the Electrocardiograph (ECG) . This system
comprises of leads/wires, a computer, and a battery enclosed in a metal case.
The pulse generator
of the system weighed about 85 gm and underwent trials until April 2011, when
it displayed promising results in terms of enhancing the standard of life for
patients suffering from cardiac myopathies and heart failure.
According to statistics published by the Sudden Cardiac
Arrest Foundation in 2016, about 6.0 million people within the U.S. region
suffer from cardiac disorders, of which 0.8 million are affected by
atrioventricular block leading to cardiac failure. Such a huge number leads to
an increased cost of about USD 20.0-56.0 billion annually. CRT devices are
being predominantly used to prevent the surgical cost and readmission rate in
hospitals, thereby propelling its growth.

Following this,
various such systems were launched and the U.S. FDA provided approvals to more
than dozens of these products. The amalgamation of Implantable Cardioverter
Defibrillators (ICD) with CRT pacemakers was further studied and formed the
second-generation of the products. The Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Defibrillators (CRT-D) devices are said to reduce the mortality rate in
comparison to the sole use of CRT pacemakers.
As of 2015, the top
contenders of the market space are working toward the development of the
third-generation products, highlighted to have features such as:
- Wireless
connectivity
- Internal placement
of the pulse generator
- Prolonged battery
life
Further Key Findings From the Study Suggest:
·
CRT-D products are expected to dominate
over the forecast period. According to a paper published in the Journal of
Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, more than half of the CRT product implants
are done using CRT-D.
·
Asia Pacific and Latin American region are
expected to witness lucrative growth and contribute over 30.0% of the revenue
in 2025. This has been attributed to the rapid expansion of industry players
within these regions in terms of manufacturing as well as distribution.
·
Competitive pricing and necessity for high
operational optimization are expected to help companies strengthen their
foothold in growing economies such as India, Mexico, and others.
·
Additionally, countries such as Japan are
also observed to register high adoption rate for quadripolar lead-based CRT-D
devices. This is expected further boost market growth.
·
Major market players of the industry are
Medtronic Plc., BIOTRONIK, LivaNova Plc., St. Jude Medical, and Boston
Scientific. However, a more assorted marketplace exists for vendors of leads
(wireless and wired) that are used in the system.
An
ancillary factor supporting growth of this industry is the increasing volume of
geriatric patients across the globe. They are more susceptible to illness and
are anticipated to require these resynchronization therapy products to
facilitate healthy activity of the heart. Apart from heart failure, certain
conditions such as arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, and atrial
fibrillation also demand the usage of these devices.
In
order to raise awareness and promote the developments in this market,
guidelines have been formulated by agencies such as the European Society of
Cardiology and the European Heart Rhythm Association. These guidelines have
been documented into three subsets depending on the type of patient to provide
accurate decision making.
In
terms of technological advancements, as of 2016, first as well as
second-generation products of the CRT market are available. Furthermore, a
third-generation product is under way and Medtronic has become a pioneer by
gaining FDA approval for two MRI-Safe CRT-D devices in 2016. The
third-generation products are aimed at facilitating MRI testing of patients
implanted with these devices without the fear of incurring any complications or
fatalities.
The aforementioned attributes
are expected to provide:
- Enhanced performance owing to pacing from within the heart
chambers
- Reduced number of readmissions at the hospital
- Reduced cost
- Elongation of the replacement period to over 10 years

The wireless connectivity is expected to benefit the market by
catering to currently non-responding heart failure patients, thereby increasing
the target population and boosting the demand.
However, a device equipped with all the aforementioned features
is still in its nascent stage of development and may become commercially viable
post 2019. If these products are introduced over the forecast period, it may
lead to an exponential growth of the industry.
A few advancements currently
being explored by the market players are:
- LivaNova, in 2016, gained FDA approval for its
third-generation PLATINUM CRT-D and ICD devices with a projected shelf life of
10 to 13 years.
- Research work is being performed by EBR Systems post the
approval by the FDA for their Wireless Stimulation Endocardially (WiSE)
technology. As of 2015, this technology is being used in the European region,
but it will be investigated within the U.S. territory. This technology is
closest in terms of the aforementioned features and would facilitate pacing by
placement within the left ventricle of the heart.
- Besides advancing the existing technology, players such as
Medtronic are introducing improved versions of the commercial devices. These
products are expected to allow patients to undergo physical examination using
techniques such as MRI without experiencing any complication. In 2016, the
company launched two such products, Complia MRI Quad CRT-D SureScan and Amplia
MRI Quad CRT-D SureScan. These systems also provide the benefit of reduction in
readmission rate owing to their AdaptivCRT algorithm that minimizes the atrial
fibrillation risk by about 46.0%.
Thus, rigorous R&D activities and routine introduction of
enhanced products are expected to expedite the development and growth of the
cardiac resynchronization therapy market over the forecast period.
