Aspiration Catheters Market Report 2025

The aspiration catheters market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.06 billion in 2024 to $3.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, the expanding aging population, growing awareness and adoption of minimally invasive procedures, the increasing number of ischemic stroke cases, and higher hospital admissions related to arterial blockages.

The aspiration catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%.The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising adoption of neurovascular interventions, growing preference for image-guided catheterization, increasing emphasis on improving stroke treatment outcomes, higher demand for catheter-based drug delivery, and the growing prevalence of lifestyle-related conditions. Key trends anticipated during this period include technological advancements in catheter design, innovations in dual-lumen aspiration systems, increased investment in robotic-assisted catheter procedures, the development of advanced soft-tip catheter materials, and innovations in aspiration pump integration.

The rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the aspiration catheters market in the coming years. Cardiovascular diseases include a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attacks and strokes, which can lead to severe health complications or death. Their prevalence is increasing due to sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to higher obesity rates and reduced cardiovascular fitness, significantly elevating the risk of heart-related illnesses. Aspiration catheters are vital in managing cardiovascular diseases as they enable the removal of blood clots and arterial blockages, helping restore proper blood flow and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes during emergency interventions. For instance, in July 2025, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based public health agency, reported that cardiovascular diseases caused 19.8 million deaths globally in 2022, representing about 32% of all deaths worldwide, with nearly 85% attributed to heart attacks and strokes. Consequently, the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is fueling demand for aspiration catheters.

Companies in the aspiration catheters market are focusing on technological advancements, particularly in large-bore aspiration catheter systems, to improve clot extraction efficiency in stroke treatment. Aspiration catheter systems are integrated medical devices designed to remove clots, fluids, or debris from blood vessels, thereby restoring circulation and improving outcomes in vascular interventions. For example, in December 2023, Q'Apel Medical Inc., a US-based neurovascular device company, introduced the 072 Hippo Aspiration System, a next-generation solution for treating strokes caused by large vessel occlusions. The system features the 072 Hippo Aspiration Catheter, equipped with a proprietary adaptive and radiopaque tip that conforms to various clot sizes and shapes, ensuring precise clot engagement and real-time visibility during removal. It also includes the Cheetah, a flexible guiding device that expedites catheter delivery to the clot, and complements Q’Apel’s Walrus balloon guide catheter, forming a comprehensive solution for stroke interventions.

In April 2022, Wallaby Medical LLC, a US-based medical device company, acquired Phenox GmbH for $580 million. This acquisition was intended to strengthen Wallaby’s global neurovascular portfolio by combining complementary product lines and expertise, positioning the company as a leader in offering advanced neurovascular technologies and solutions for stroke and related diseases across major international markets. Phenox GmbH is a Germany-based medical technology manufacturer specializing in interventional neurovascular devices, including aspiration catheters.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

Aspiration catheters are flexible, specialized medical tubes used to remove unwanted substances such as blood clots, excess fluids, or tissue debris from blood vessels or body cavities during minimally invasive procedures. They are widely employed in critical interventions, including stroke and myocardial infarction treatments, where quick and efficient removal of obstructions is vital to restoring normal blood flow and minimizing tissue damage.

The primary types of aspiration catheters include disposable catheters and reusable catheters. Disposable aspiration catheters are designed for single-use, ensuring sterile and safe performance. These devices are applied across various medical fields, including cardiovascular, neurovascular, and peripheral vascular procedures, among others. Key end users include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
