Overview
The Japan vascular surgery and endovascular procedures market reached US$ 122.5 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 224.0 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Vascular surgery is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions affecting the vascular system, which includes arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. These structures are essential for circulating blood and lymph throughout the body. Vascular surgeons perform both traditional open surgeries and minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow or remove blockages in the vessels. Endovascular procedures are minimally invasive techniques used to treat vascular conditions through small punctures or incisions. These procedures involve the use of catheters, wires, and other devices guided through blood vessels to perform treatments without the need for open surgery.
The market demand for vascular surgery and endovascular procedures in Japan has been growing steadily, driven by factors such as the aging population, rising prevalence of vascular diseases, and advancements in minimally invasive technologies. For instance, according to the Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery, in the field of aneurysm treatment, 20,160 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) including common iliac aneurysms were registered, and 61.6% were treated by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Among AAA cases, 1,794 (8.9%) cases were registered as ruptured AAA.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising aging population
The rising aging population is significantly driving the Japan vascular surgery and endovascular procedures market and is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. As the proportion of elderly people continues to rise, there is an increased prevalence of vascular diseases, which are more common among older individuals. This demographic shift is significantly impacting the demand for both traditional vascular surgery and minimally invasive endovascular treatments.
As people age, they are more susceptible to conditions like peripheral arterial disease (PAD), aortic aneurysms, varicose veins, and stroke all of which often require vascular interventions. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum, Japan is getting ever greyer. More than 1 in 10 people in the country are now aged 80 or older. Almost a third of its population is over 65 - an estimated 36.23 million. Stroke risk rises with age, particularly due to carotid artery disease, which is a common vascular condition in older people
High cost associated with vascular surgery and endovascular procedures
The high cost associated with vascular surgery and endovascular procedures is expected to hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period. Endovascular Devices such as stents, grafts, and coils are expensive to manufacture and use.
The cost of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), which requires specialized grafts and imaging equipment, can be significantly higher than traditional surgery. For instance, according to the Oxford Academy, the average medical cost for EVAR was 35,2000 Japanese Yen per patient.
Additionally, according to a study conducted by the National Institute of Health, the mean costs for open surgical repair (OR) versus EVAR were as follows, Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) ¥632,370 versus ¥490,050, respectively, which was significant; anesthesia, ¥123,540 versus ¥86,220, respectively and materials, ¥257,770 versus ¥2,113,280, respectively. Thus, the mean total cost was ¥1,825,830 versus ¥3,159,270 for open repair and EVAR, respectively.
The Japan vascular surgery and endovascular procedures market is segmented based on procedure, product type and end-user.
The endovascular repair segment is expected to dominate the Japan vascular surgery and endovascular procedures market share
The endovascular repair segment holds a major portion of the Japan vascular surgery and endovascular procedures market share and is expected to continue to hold a significant portion of the market share over the forecast period. Endovascular repair involves the use of minimally invasive techniques to treat vascular conditions such as abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). These procedures use small incisions or punctures, making them far less invasive than traditional open surgery.
The demand for EVAR has surged in Japan as patients prefer less invasive procedures that offer faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays. For instance, according to the J-Stage, as of 2020, EVAR accounted for over 60% of AAA cases in Japan, indicating its dominance in the treatment of aneurysms.
Endovascular repair has benefited from technological innovations in medical devices, imaging, and procedural techniques. The introduction of advanced stents, drug-eluting balloons and robotic-assisted navigation has made endovascular repair even more efficient, safe, and accessible. This has contributed to the widespread adoption of these procedures across Japan.
The major Japan players in the vascular surgery and endovascular procedures market include Terumo Corporation, Olympus Corporation, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Mizuho Medical Co., Ltd., Nipro Corporation, Shimadzu Corporation, SB-KAWASUMI LABORATORIES, INC., ASAHI INTECC CO., LTD., Medtronic plc, Boston Scientific Corporation and among others.
