The plaque modification devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to AI-guided vascular imaging, expansion of complex vascular interventions, demand for safer procedures, growth in outpatient interventions, innovation in plaque removal devices. Major trends in the forecast period include minimally invasive plaque removal, precision atherectomy technologies, improved embolic protection, advanced catheter-based systems, reduced procedure time devices.
The increasing number of minimally invasive procedures is anticipated to drive the growth of the plaque modification devices market in the future. Minimally invasive procedures are medical or surgical methods that involve smaller incisions, less disruption to tissues, and reduced physical trauma when compared to traditional open surgery. The rise in such procedures is fueled by technological advancements such as high-definition imaging and robotic systems, which enhance precision, as well as growing patient preferences for quicker recovery and less scarring. Plaque modification devices contribute to the safety and efficiency of minimally invasive procedures by enabling accurate removal of arterial blockages and expanding treatment options for patients with complex vascular conditions. For example, in January 2024, Intuitive Surgical Inc., a US-based company specializing in robotic products, reported the placement of 415 da Vinci surgical systems (robotic systems that utilize minimally invasive techniques) in the fourth quarter of 2023, marking a 12% increase from 2022. Thus, the growth in minimally invasive procedures is fueling the expansion of the plaque modification devices market.
Leading companies in the plaque modification devices market are focusing on creating advanced solutions, including intravascular image-guided, catheter-based systems, to maintain a competitive advantage. Intravascular image-guided procedures use imaging technology to assist in guiding devices or instruments within blood vessels. For example, in August 2024, Avinger, a US-based medical device company, introduced the Pantheris LV image-guided directional atherectomy system, designed to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) in larger vessels such as the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries. This system features unique capabilities such as faster plaque excision for efficient removal of obstructive tissue, a proprietary jog mechanism that improves plaque apposition, and an advanced guidewire management system to simplify the operation process.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson, a US-based pharmaceutical company, acquired Shockwave Medical Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen Johnson & Johnson's cardiovascular portfolio by incorporating Shockwave's intravascular lithotripsy technology, which is designed to treat calcified arterial plaque. The company anticipates this move will generate at least $1 billion in annual sales and help address gaps in the treatment of coronary and peripheral artery diseases. Shockwave Medical Inc., also based in the US, specializes in developing and commercializing medical products for cardiovascular conditions, including plaque modification devices.

Plaque modification devices are medical tools and technologies designed to address atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in blood vessels. These devices are used in minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow by removing, modifying, or managing plaque within the arteries, especially in cases of cardiovascular or peripheral artery diseases.
The primary types of plaque modification devices include atherectomy devices, thrombectomy devices, chronic total occlusion devices, and embolic protection devices. Atherectomy devices are specialized tools used to remove or reduce atherosclerotic plaque buildup in blood vessels, thus improving blood circulation. These devices are used to treat conditions such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and neurovascular diseases, and are employed in various settings such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
The plaque modification devices market consists of sales of atherectomy devices, scoring balloons, cutting balloons, plaque excision systems, and rotational ablation devices. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
