The European electrical ablator market is mainly driven by the increasing aging population with higher risk of chronic disease and increasing procedures through minimal invasive surgery. The market was valued at $189 million in 2013 and is expected to reach $228 million by 2018.
Tachycardia and atrial arrhythmia occur in people where cardiac electrical impulses move abnormally through a deviated path involving extra tissue. This impulse creates an abnormal pattern of elevated or decreased heartbeats in a patient. Electrical ablators are used for such conditions and ablate healthy cells so as to cut off electrical impulses that are causing the uneven heartbeats. The procedure can be done percutaneously or by minimally invasive techniques using ultrasound imaging, fluoroscopy, or MRI.
The report "European Electrical Ablators Market Forecast, 2010-2018", analyzes the market of devices under two segments such as argon plasma/beam coagulator and irreversible electroporation. The high success rate (above 70%) for removal of arrhythmic heart conditions is the major factor that is driving this market. There are over 14 million arrhythmia cases with fatality rates of 15% annually. It affects over 10% of the population over the age of 80 globally. This rate of increase in heart conditions is predicted to sustain the electrical ablation technology market through 2016, by a CAGR of 5.20%.
The European market is challenging as it is a heterogeneous region in terms of regulatory and reimbursement approaches, with every country having its own unique characteristics. Recent trends show an increased inclination of companies towards Europe for the development and launch of their preliminary products. In addition, it is observed that capital investment required for regulatory approval of a product is significantly less than that compared to the U.S. Ultimately, market players are adopting a strategy to launch their products initially in Europe, as it offers an opportunity to balance the risk-to-reward ratio in case of innovative technologies.
Traditional electric ablation probes are not effective for ablating certain tissue types such as adhesions which develop in a large fraction of patients after surgery. Thus, there is an unmet need for devices that are suitable for ablating a variety of abnormal tissues, adhesions, and fibrous growths. Minimally invasive surgical devices are yet another area of expansion for market players in the ablation technologies market.
The report also provides an extensive competitive landscape of companies operating in the electrical ablator market.
