by Myocardial infarction, commonly known as heart attack, is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs due to inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to a region of the heart, which produces heart cell death. Symptoms can include sudden chest pain often radiating to the left arm, pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, back or stomach, shortness of breath, sweating, fainting or lightheadedness. Rising adoption of unhealthy lifestyle, including smoking, lack of physical activity, poor diet and obesity has led to surge in incidence of risk factors like hypertension and high cholesterol levels, which are major causes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as heart attacks. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), CVDs cause more than 805,000 deaths in the United States each year accounting for one in every three deaths, making it the leading cause of death in the country. Products used for treatment of heart attacks include medications such as beta blockers, antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics and anticoagulants that help in preventing repeat attacks and improving outcomes. Advanced treatments require specialized devices and equipment such as stents, balloon pumps, defibrillators and pacemakers.
The global Myocardial Infarction Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2037.51 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 22 % over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The rising trend towards adoption of advanced treatment technologies will be a major factor influencing growth of the myocardial infarction market through 2030. One such promising emerging technology is stem cell therapy. Research is ongoing to evaluate effectiveness of stem cells in repairing damaged heart muscles after heart attack. Stem cells have potential to develop into heart muscle cells replacing the dead cells and improving heart function. Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating different types and delivery methods of stem cells. Another key technology gaining momentum are wearable medical devices that can continuously monitor heart health and provide early warning in case of heart attack risks. Smartwatches and monitors capable of measuring ECG, blood pressure and other vital signs are playing greater preventive role by facilitating timely medical intervention.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: Low barrier to entry due to availability of cutting edge technology for diagnosis and treatment. However, established players have significant capital resources and economies of scale.
