Abstract
This research report is prepared with the aim of providing the reader with raw
market data on the worldwide catheters market. The report is not an exhaustive
exploration of catheter market technologies and segments. Much of the catheter
market is either mature or well established, and the report assumes the reader
is familiar with the terminology, general uses, and current market structure
of the medical device industry. Clinical applications, technological
specifications, and manufacturing issues are not discussed in any detail. The
report is designed for users who require data at a reasonable cost and are
capable of their own analysis.
The report contains information on the following segments:
- Urological Catheters
- Foley Catheters
- Urethral Catheters
- Coronary Catheters
- Interventional Catheters
- PTCA Catheters
- Atherectomy Catheters
- Ablation Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters
- Diagnostic Catheters
- Cardiac Angiography Catheters
- Peripheral Angiography Catheters
- Intravenous Catheters
- Central Venous Catheters
- Peripheral Insertion Catheters
- Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs)
- Peripheral Insertion Midline Catheters
- Oximetry Catheters
- Thermodilution Catheters
- Suction Catheters
- Wound Drainage Catheters
Each segment is evaluated on the basis of its unit volume and dollar value.
The market size is provided for the 10-year period from 2002 through 2011.
Projections (2006-2011) are estimates made by factoring in the historical
growth rates and current and projected trends in each of the segments,
including technological, regulatory, and use patterns. Growth rate projections
are provided both for unit data and dollar volume data. The report also
provides the data on the competitive market share of some segments and
estimates the current revenue distribution for product categories among four
geographic regions when available: United States, Europe, Japan, and the rest
of the world (ROW).
