Transradial Access Devices Market

Transradial Access Devices Market Size

The global transradial access devices market was valued at USD 2.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to exhibit 7.7% CAGR from 2025-2034. The revenue growth in the market is being driven by the rising adoption of interventional procedures and the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.

The demand for transradial access devices is growing with the rising burden of CVDs due to the increasing preference for these devices in minimally invasive procedures like angiography and angioplasty. Along with reduced bleeding risk, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays, transradial access offers several advantages. According to WHO 2021 factsheet, CVDs are responsible for more than 32% of deaths worldwide which is over 17.9 million deaths each year which stresses the need for efficient and patient-friendly treatments. The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is contributing to the expansion of the market for sophisticated transradial access instruments designed to improve procedural results and the overall experience for patients.

In addition, the growing use of interventional techniques involving approach via radial artery is positively influencing the market for transradial access devices. In comparison to femoral access, radial artery access is associated with fewer complications, better patient comfort, and quicker mobilization. These changes are supported by the widespread use of the radial-first approach in catheterization labs owing to demonstrable clinical safety and enhanced efficiency.

Transradial access devices are specific implantable medical tools that allow vascular access at the wrist using the radial artery for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures like coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions. These devices consist of catheters, sheaths, guidewires, and hemostasis bands, which provide a less invasive method that diminishes complications, improves patient satisfaction, and allows for faster recovery than conventional femoral access techniques.

Transradial Access Devices Market Trends

• The adoption of Hydrophilic coated catheters is increasing across cardiac procedures. Hydrophilic coated catheters have a particular coating that minimizes the risk of injury to vascular structures during their insertion and withdrawal due to decreased friction. The hydrophilic surface is well able to traverse blood vessels, particularly in difficult anatomical arrangements as it increases smoother and more efficient navigation. This technology is especially useful in reduction of patient discomfort and complicating events such as artery spasm.
  
• Moreover, modern hemostasis bands that come with adjustable pressure settings is enabling healthcare providers to optimally constrain the bleeding from the radial artery without fully occluding blood flow. This feature is helping to reduce the risk of certain complications such as radial artery occlusion which require more time to heal. In addition, enhanced ergonomics across devices is promoting patient recovery from procedures through improving the comfort.
  
• The introduction of Cordis’ RAILWAY Access System, and Terumo’s Glidesheath Slender, that have slender sheaths and sheathless access systems, has enabled the use of greater sized catheters to be used on smaller radial arteries. This advancements have resulted into the reduced risk of trauma and radial artery occlusion.
  
• Further, owing to growth in robotic assisted surgery, the vendors are focusing towards offering robotic-assisted PCI platforms to make their devices more compatible across robotic assisted surgeries.
  

Trump Administration Tariffs

• The cost of transradial access devices are likely to increase as a direct effect of imposing tariffs on imports specifically from China. The increased costs will be passed on to the consumer market resulting in higher price of transradial access devices. Manufacturers may also stop selling some vital devices altogether due to their inability to control the costs of essential components required to assemble these devices.
  
• Companies with foreign subsidiaries that fully outsource their manufacturing activities will be impacted the most. On the other hand, companies such as Becton Dickinson, which manufactures smaller share of its product overseas would be comparatively less disrupted. Smaller players are likely to rethink relocating production to the U.S. to avoid tariffs or may diversify their supply chain of components to multiple countries.
  
• Healthcare facilities will have to deal with budget constraints dealing with increasing device procurement costs which may hinder patient access to care.
  
• Investments in the medical devices sector may be put at risk due to unpredictable costs and availability of supplies. Increased costs of operations might limit funding availabilities for research and developments of new technologies, including new devices for transradial access.
