Coronary Stents Market Evolving in Japan, China

The market for coronary stents in Asia and the Pacific region contains principally China (early technology adopters) and Japan (with a longer regulatory approval cycle), which generate roughly 200,000 in stent sales annually. The area is, in the aggregate, the second biggest market for coronary stent sales globally.  While China commands much attention due to [...]

Growth of coronary stent market in Japan, China

(The global market for coronary stents worldwide is assessed in the MedMarket Diligence report #C245, "Worldwide Market for Drug-Eluting, Bare Metal and Other Coronary Stents, 2008-2017.") The market for coronary stents in Asia and the Pacific region contains both China (early technology adopters) and Japan (with a longer regulatory approval cycle), which generated a combined [...]

Coronary stents: Big differences in adoption globally

Market drivers that vary geographically account for some big differences in the distribution of the coronary stent market across the currently available stent types, and these differences will continue when bioabsorbable stents (and others) are introduced to the market over the next few years. The local market forces dictating these differences include: Regulatory timelines in [...]
