Microcatheter Market Expected to Reach USD 2.58 Billion by 2031, Driven by Growth in Stroke Treatment, Oncology, and Minimally Invasive Procedures
Chicago, 29th May 2025 — The global microcatheter market is projected to expand from USD 1.13 billion in 2024 to USD 2.58 billion by 2031, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7 percent, according to Clearview Market Insights (CVMI). Microcatheters have become essential tools in advancing minimally invasive procedures, offering precise navigation through complex vascular systems in cardiovascular, neurovascular, peripheral, and oncologic interventions.
"Microcatheters are the unsung heroes of modern interventional care," stated Dr. Ellen Porter, MedTech Sector Head at CVMI. "Whether restoring brain perfusion in stroke, targeting tumor-feeding vessels, or reaching chronic blockages in coronary arteries, their value lies in accuracy, deliverability, and safety."
