LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top four leading vendors in their recent global transcatheter mitral valve replacement market 2016-2020 report. This research report also lists five other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global transcatheter mitral valve replacement market is consolidated, with the presence of a few companies that offer products worldwide. Abbott Laboratories, Edwards Lifesciences, and Neovasc are the only providers of transcatheter mitral valve implants in the US. In Europe, these vendors along with other companies such as MitrAssist and Valtech offer transcatheter mitral valves and compete to gain market shares. “The regulatory approval process in the US is more stringent compared to Europe. This makes it difficult for vendors to gain regulatory approval and launch their products in the US as compared to Europe,” says Barath Palada, a lead analyst at Technavio for cardiovascular devices research.
The successful launch and acceptance of transcatheter aortic valve implants worldwide have led many vendors to diversify their portfolio by developing transcatheter mitral valve implants. Boston Scientific and Medtronic are venturing into this market through acquisition deals with other small companies. Some vendors are also collaborating with other prominent vendors such as MitrAssist and NaviGate Cardiac Structures to develop transcatheter mitral valve implants. Vendors are also investing in R&D to develop advanced devices, some of which are under clinical trials.
