Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: U.S. Varicose Vein Treatment Devices Market


The U.S. varicose vein treatment devices market size was valued at USD 461.5 million in 2018 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period. The rise in investments by the manufacturers to introduce innovative products in the market is likely to boost the growth. An increase in the prevalence of varicose veins coupled with the growing geriatric population is anticipated to further fuel the growth in U.S.
Minimally invasive varicose vein surgeries result in reduced patient discomfort, postoperative pain, and bruising. Unlike surgical stripping, patients who have undergone occlusion procedures can immediately resume their daily routine activities. Minimally invasive procedures are increasingly being performed at physician offices and ambulatory centers, instead of hospital settings. This increases patient comfort and convenience and reduces patient anxiety of undergoing surgery in hospital settings.
 

Varicose vein treatment surgeries are evolving to become noninvasive or minimally invasive in nature. Reduced risk of infections and scarring associated with invasive surgeries is anticipated to drive the preference for noninvasive surgeries. Noninvasive methods reduce the duration of hospital stay, thereby saving time as well as cost. As a result, there is a rise in preference for treatment options, such as foam sclerotherapy, endovenous laser, and radiofrequency ablation over conventional surgeries.
Venous ablation techniques can be performed without a groin incision, eliminating the risk of wound infection, especially in obese patients. These techniques are less time consuming and efficient for short- as well as long-term treatment of varicose veins. Post-operative pain is very limited with higher wavelengths and with radial fiber in case of ablation procedures.
Aging may considerably affect the structure and functions of the veins. One out of every two people above 50 years is affected by varicose veins. An investigational study indicated that about 42% of men and 58% of women belonging to the age group of 66 to 96 years suffer from varicose veins.
