technological advanced catheters, and regulatory approvals for these catheters. In the imaging
catheters market, the angiography catheters segment accounted for majority of the share of the
diagnostic imaging catheters market in 2015. These catheters are widely accepted owing to the
growing importance of cardiac care and the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries.
The OCT catheters segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period,
due to the increasing need for high-depth transversal resolution imaging for diagnostics and
growing demand for minimally invasive and safer diagnostic tools.
Of the end-user segments of diagnostic catheters market, the hospitals segment accounted for the
largest share of the global diagnostic catheters market in 2015. The growth in this segment is
attributed to the large number of screening and diagnostic procedures being carried out in
hospitals (as compared to other medical facilities) & the presence of catheter and
electrophysiology labs in hospitals, rising prevalence of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases,
and the subsequent increase in the number of patients across the globe. Furthermore, the
emergence of advanced diagnostic imaging catheters coupled with the growing demand for
minimally invasive and safer diagnostic procedures by clinicians across the globe is accelerating the
adoption of diagnostic catheters by doctors and surgeons in hospitals.
Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast
period, being driven by the presence of a large patient population, increased patient awareness for
minimally invasive surgeries, rapid rise in the prevalence of cardiovascular and kidney disorders,
growth in per capita income, increasing investments in the healthcare industry by key market
players, and the rising demand for technologically advanced imaging systems in this region.
