Bovine Pericardial Valve Market

Bovine Pericardial Valve Market Overview

A bovine pericardial valve is an artificial bio-prosthetic cardiac valve with a three-cusp structure made from chemically treated bovine pericardium on a suitable framework such as a titanium frame. A bovine pericardial valve is used to replace a diseased or faulty natural heart valve which allows unidirectional flow of blood.

Bovine Pericardial Valve Market: Drivers and Restraints

The growing demand generated due to the increasing incidence of cardiac and valve diseases owing to the increasing incidence of cardiopathies such as sinus node dysfunction and heart block are the prime drivers of the bovine pericardial valve market. Heart valve disease affects approximately 5 million Americans every year. Risk factors such as infections of the valves, rheumatic fever, heart attack, advanced heart failure or atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, being overweight, autoimmune disorders including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and others are driving a large market.

According to the center for disease control and prevention, about 610,000 U.S. citizens die of heart disease each year. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major heart disease, resulting in over 370,000 deaths each year. The statistics also point to the fact that about 735,000 Americans suffer from a heart attack per year. Speaking in economic terms, heart disease costs about $200 billion each year to the U.S. exchequer, which includes the cost of health care services, medications, and lost productivity. Thus a large bovine pericardial valve market is well evident even to an untrained eye.

The demographic drivers of the bovine pericardial valve market are growing the older population, sedentary lifestyles leading to obesity, substance abuse, junk food and others. The growing incidence of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and other autoimmune diseases are other drivers of the market. According to the center for disease control and prevention, almost 70 million Americans representing some 30% of the population suffer from hypertension.

Technological advancements resulting in product development such as the development of customized bovine pericardial valve is driving a faster bovine pericardial valve market adoption. Development of inert materials such as silicon is expected to result in growing functionality and market adoption owing to superior performance.

However, the high cost of the bovine pericardial valve, competition from drug therapy, scarcity of experienced surgeons, the lower per capita income of the developing world and the high risk of surgery is hampering the bovine pericardial valve market.
