Blood and Cardiac Monitoring Devices Market Assessment Report - Global Size, Share, Competitive Landscape, Future Prospects and Forecast from 2013-2019
M2 - Thu Mar 13, 3:48AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vzjflp/blood_and_cardiac) has announced the addition of the "Blood and Cardiac Monitoring Devices Market Assessment Report - Global Size, Share, Competitive Landscape, Future Prospects and Forecast from 2013-2019" report to their offering. According to the report the global blood and cardiac monitoring devices market was worth $13.6 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach $20.5 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2013 to 2019. The market for blood monitoring devices is segmented into blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, blood gas analyzers and blood cholesterol monitors. In 2012, the market for blood glucose monitors accounted for the largest share by revenue of the total market at more than 70%. This is attributed mainly to the consistent technological up-gradations in product design followed by the alarming rise in diabetic population and sedentary lifestyles. However, the blood pressure monitors market is expected to record the highest growth during the forecast period owing to the rising prevalence and incidence rate of hypertension and increased awareness about regular monitoring of blood pressure among people. Also, due to integration of tele-medicine, patients themselves rely on self-monitoring of blood pressure at home. The market for cardiac monitoring devices has been segmented into various device types including electrocardiogram, holter monitors, event monitors, cardiac output monitors, and others (wrist rate monitors, strapped rate monitors, etc.). Of these, the market for electrocardiograms accounted for the largest share by revenue in 2012, at around 45%. Geographically, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). North America led the global market for both blood and cardiac monitoring devices in 2012, in terms of revenue share. With innovations in blood monitoring making the testing much less invasive for the geriatric population and other cardiac patients, revenue for the North American market is set to skyrocket. Physicians in the region are increasingly demanding to work with the newer, less invasive or noninvasive systems, which will help in rapid growth of the minimally and non-invasive blood and cardiac monitoring markets. The fastest growth in this market will be observed in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period. Sedentary lifestyles and the resultant rise in the prevalence of chronic illnesses, increase in the per capita income and healthcare expenditures, improvement in healthcare infrastructure and a large pool of geriatric population are the key factors fuelling market growth in the region. The market for cardiac monitors is highly oligopolistic in nature, with the top two players accounting for the majority of the market share in 2012.

Global Central Venous Access Devices Market 2014-2018: Becton, Dickinson and Co., Cook Medical Inc., C.R Bard Inc. and Teleflex Inc Among Top Vendors
M2 - Mon Feb 17, 9:23AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4268p7/global_central) has announced the addition of the "Global Central Venous Access Devices Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Central Venous Access Devices market to grow at a CAGR of 4.10 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing aging population. The Global Central Venous Access Devices market has also been witnessing the increased use of antimicrobial catheters. However, the high risk of vein thrombosis could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are AngioDynamics Inc., B. Braun Melsungen AG, Becton, Dickinson and Co., Cook Medical Inc., C.R Bard Inc., and Teleflex Inc. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Boston Scientific Corp., Covidien Plc., Edwards Lifesciences Corp., Medical Components Inc., Smiths Medical, Terumo Corp., and Vygon Corp. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Following the change of reimbursement policies (offered under Medicare and Medicaid) in the recent past, there has been an increase in the use of antimicrobial catheters. According to the changes, reimbursement would no longer be provided for treatment of vascular access-related infections acquired during a patient's hospitalization. The antimicrobial CVCs are inserted directly into the bloodstream through the large internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins, making them highly susceptible to infection. The complete CVC kits include maximum barrier drapes, manufactured catheter securement devices, and the antimicrobial agent (chlorhexidine) that is highly adopted by surgeons. The demand for dialysis catheters with intraluminal antimicrobial properties has also increased over the years. In addition, antimicrobial PICCs are extensively used to deliver chemotherapy and antibiotics as well as for drawing blood from immunocompromised patients. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing aging population that has led to an increase in demand for central venous access devices for delivering drugs, nutritional support, or aspiration of blood for sampling.

Global Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Market Report: 2013 Edition
M2 - Tue Feb 11, 4:10AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jz3fpf/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Market Report: 2013 Edition" report to their offering. The Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new technology in medical science which is a less invasive method of replacing the heart valve without undergoing the conventional by-pass surgery. Traditionally, the aortic valve replacement has required open heart surgery, thus disqualifying patients who are at high risk for the process or are too weak to undergo a surgery. Partially for this reason, the market of heart valve surgical procedure is witnessing a continuous decline as more and more patients requiring valve replacement are at high risk for a surgical treatment. This shortcoming of traditional surgery has paved the way for growth of TAVR. It was first commercially launched in Europe in 2007 and later in the United States. The market is very promising and has lot of opportunities and unmet demand to cater to. Economic growth worldwide, rising income and wealth levels, increasing ageing population and continuously increasing obese population are fueling the development of the global TAVR market. The growth of the TAVR market has high correlation with macro indicators, such as global GDP, and global healthcare expenditure. This report analyzes the development of the "global TAVR market", with focus on some of the major markets like the United States and Europe. The major trends, drivers facilitating growth of the TAVR market as well as the issues being faced by the industry are being presented in this report. Key Topics Covered 1. Market Overview 2. TAVR Market Size 2.1 TAVR Market: Regional Analysis 3. Market Dynamics 3.1 Key Trends 3.2 Growth Drivers 3.3 Challenges 3.4 Significant Developments 4. Competitive Landscape 4.1 The US 4.2 Europe 5.

Global Central Venous Access Devices Market 2014-2018: Becton, Dickinson and Co., Cook Medical Inc., C.R Bard Inc. and Teleflex Inc Among Top Vendors
M2 - Mon Feb 17, 9:23AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4268p7/global_central) has announced the addition of the "Global Central Venous Access Devices Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Central Venous Access Devices market to grow at a CAGR of 4.10 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing aging population. The Global Central Venous Access Devices market has also been witnessing the increased use of antimicrobial catheters. However, the high risk of vein thrombosis could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are AngioDynamics Inc., B. Braun Melsungen AG, Becton, Dickinson and Co., Cook Medical Inc., C.R Bard Inc., and Teleflex Inc. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Boston Scientific Corp., Covidien Plc., Edwards Lifesciences Corp., Medical Components Inc., Smiths Medical, Terumo Corp., and Vygon Corp. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Following the change of reimbursement policies (offered under Medicare and Medicaid) in the recent past, there has been an increase in the use of antimicrobial catheters. According to the changes, reimbursement would no longer be provided for treatment of vascular access-related infections acquired during a patient's hospitalization. The antimicrobial CVCs are inserted directly into the bloodstream through the large internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins, making them highly susceptible to infection. The complete CVC kits include maximum barrier drapes, manufactured catheter securement devices, and the antimicrobial agent (chlorhexidine) that is highly adopted by surgeons. The demand for dialysis catheters with intraluminal antimicrobial properties has also increased over the years. In addition, antimicrobial PICCs are extensively used to deliver chemotherapy and antibiotics as well as for drawing blood from immunocompromised patients. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing aging population that has led to an increase in demand for central venous access devices for delivering drugs, nutritional support, or aspiration of blood for sampling.

Global Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Market Report: 2013 Edition
M2 - Tue Feb 11, 4:10AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jz3fpf/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Market Report: 2013 Edition" report to their offering. The Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new technology in medical science which is a less invasive method of replacing the heart valve without undergoing the conventional by-pass surgery. Traditionally, the aortic valve replacement has required open heart surgery, thus disqualifying patients who are at high risk for the process or are too weak to undergo a surgery. Partially for this reason, the market of heart valve surgical procedure is witnessing a continuous decline as more and more patients requiring valve replacement are at high risk for a surgical treatment. This shortcoming of traditional surgery has paved the way for growth of TAVR. It was first commercially launched in Europe in 2007 and later in the United States. The market is very promising and has lot of opportunities and unmet demand to cater to. Economic growth worldwide, rising income and wealth levels, increasing ageing population and continuously increasing obese population are fueling the development of the global TAVR market. The growth of the TAVR market has high correlation with macro indicators, such as global GDP, and global healthcare expenditure. This report analyzes the development of the "global TAVR market", with focus on some of the major markets like the United States and Europe. The major trends, drivers facilitating growth of the TAVR market as well as the issues being faced by the industry are being presented in this report. Key Topics Covered 1. Market Overview 2. TAVR Market Size 2.1 TAVR Market: Regional Analysis 3. Market Dynamics 3.1 Key Trends 3.2 Growth Drivers 3.3 Challenges 3.4 Significant Developments 4. Competitive Landscape 4.1 The US 4.2 Europe 5.
