As such, LVAD is being pervasively used as an interim support for individuals that have undergone heart failure and are under consideration for a transplant.

LVADs are gaining popularity as safe devices for implantation in the heart pumps market. Thus, companies in the market for heart pumps should partner with researchers to develop new devices that are small and safe to implant. Healthcare practitioners are creating a demand for smaller heart pump devices, since it is challenging for surgeons to successfully complete implants without any complications. Hence, companies in the heart pumps market are developing compact heart pumps that can potentially withstand challenging environments by increasing their efficacy in space engineering.

Computational Fluid Dynamic Modeling Offers Useful Insights on Flow Regimes

LVADs can potentially alter flow dynamics resulting in complications such as stroke, bleeding, pump thrombosis, and the likes, that may endanger the life of patients. Hence, companies in the heart pumps market are focusing on innovative modeling techniques and 3D printing to carefully understand flow dynamics. This is evident, as healthcare companies are gaining expertise in centrifugal flow pump (CFP) since CFP flow regime segment is predicted for exponential growth in the heart pumps market.

The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling is based on computer simulation, and is helping stakeholders to gain an understanding of fluid characteristics such as pressure, shear stress, and velocity. Innovative modeling techniques are helping healthcare providers to mitigate future LVAD-related problems. These modeling techniques are being coupled with 3D printing for patients opting for patient-specific device implants. With an increased focus on computational fluid dynamics, analysts of Transparency Market Research opine that specialized software will gain prominence in the coming years.

Heart Pumps Market: Overview

  • According to Transparency Market Research’s latest report on the global heart pumps market for the historical period 2017–2018 and forecast period 2019–2027, rise in prevalence of cardiac disorders, aging population, entry of new players, technological advancements, and increase in access to healthcare are projected to drive the global heart pumps market
  • According to the report, the global heart pumps market was valued at ~US$ 1.8 Bn in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~10% from 2019 to 2027

Rise in Prevalence of Chronic Disorders and Technological Developments to Drive Heart Pumps Market: Key Drivers

  • Geriatric population and number of people suffering from cardiac disorders are expected to increase at a rapid pace in the next few years. Based on the United Nations Report 2017, the geriatric population aged 62 years and above is expected to double by 2050. The number is anticipated to increase from 965 million in 2017 to roughly 2.2 billion by 2050. Increasing geriatric population is anticipated to propel the heart pumps market.
  • Heart failure affects more than 11 million people in the U.S. and Europe, with an incidence of 1.1 million per year. Growing demand for heart transplant cannot meet, owing to the lack of donor organs. Hence, mechanical circulatory support devices or ventricular assist devices (VADs) have become an important treatment tool for severe chronic and acute chronic heart failure, which is expected to drive the heart pumps market.
  • According to an article published by the Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2016, a constant decline of heart transplantations is observed worldwide. In the last 15 years, the number of patients awaiting heart transplantation doubled while the available donor organs dropped by more than 30%. In 2015, 790 patients in Germany were listed for heart transplantation, out of which only 286 received transplantation. Due to lack of donor organs, people are employed VADs as bridge to transplant therapy, which has significantly fueled the heart pumps market.
  • Moreover, the geriatric patient pool in developing regions such as Latin America, Asia, and Africa is likely to increase rapidly. Population in developed countries such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan is aging rapidly. According to the U.S. Census Board, people older than the age 65 represented around 15% of the total population of the U.S. in 2010 and the number is expected to increase by about 25% by 2030.
