Vascular plugs are medical devices designed to block or reduce blood flow in specific blood vessels. These plugs are commonly used during minimally invasive procedures to achieve controlled vessel occlusion. They are delivered via a catheter and expand to effectively seal the vessel.
The primary types of vascular plugs include embolic coils, non-removable vascular plugs, and removable vascular plugs. Embolic coils are small devices made of metal or other materials, inserted into blood vessels to block or embolize them. These coils can be made from materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin, and collagen, and are used for various indications such as arteriovenous malformations, vascular trauma, and cerebral aneurysms. They are typically used in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare settings.
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 sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The vascular plugs market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides vascular plugs market statistics, including vascular plugs industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a vascular plugs market share, detailed vascular plugs market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the vascular plugs industry. This vascular plugs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The vascular plugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.12 billion in 2024 to $1.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing transfer to the performing of minimally invasive methods, increasing number of product launches, expansion in technology, expanding healthcare infrastructure, increasing research and development activities, increasing procedural demand expanding indications for vascular plug devices.
The vascular plugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising prevalence of vascular disorders, increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (cvds), aging global population, increasing number of peripheral embolization procedures, increasing prevalence of obesity. Major trends in the forecast period include a shift toward shape memory polymers, the development of bioreabsorbable and self-expanding plugs, the integration of imaging technologies, focus on personalized medicine, and technological advancements.
The forecast of 7.5% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for nitinol mesh occlusion devices and delivery catheter systems, sourced from key regions such as Switzerland and Israel, could lead to shortages in minimally invasive vascular closure equipment.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is expected to fuel the growth of the vascular plugs market during the forecast period. CVDs encompass a range of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, disrupting normal blood circulation. The rise in CVD cases is largely attributed to a global shift in lifestyle patterns, urbanization, and changing dietary habits, which are placing long-term stress on the cardiovascular system. Vascular plugs are vital in managing CVDs by blocking abnormal blood flow, such as in arteriovenous malformations, to prevent complications such as hemorrhage or heart strain. For example, in January 2025, the American Heart Association, a U.S.-based non-profit, reported that there were 941,652 deaths from cardiovascular diseases in the U.S. in 2022, marking an increase of more than 10,000 compared to 931,578 deaths in 2021. As a result, the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the vascular plugs market.
Leading companies in the vascular plugs market are focusing on the development of advanced technologies, such as self-expanding vascular implants, to improve the efficiency and precision of embolotherapy procedures. Self-expanding vascular implants, made from shape-memory materials, expand autonomously in blood vessels, providing support or blockage without the need for external force. For example, in May 2024, Merit Medical Systems, a U.S.-based medical device company, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its Siege Vascular Plug. The Siege plug is designed for rapid peripheral artery embolization, achieving vessel occlusion in about 1.3 minutes. It is a self-expanding, recapturable device that ensures flexible and precise placement, with three available sizes to accommodate different artery diameters. Additionally, Merit Medical introduced the Bearing nsPVA Express prefilled syringe, which simplifies procedures by eliminating the need for embolization particle preparation, reflecting the company's commitment to enhancing efficiency and patient outcomes in embolotherapy.
In November 2023, CooperCompanies, a U.S.-based medical device company, acquired select medical device assets from Cook Medical for $300 million. This deal enables continued investment in innovation and the development of advanced technologies, expanding the global reach of the newly acquired product lines. The acquisition supports the long-term success and growth of these products under new ownership, while Cook Medical will remain privately held and family-owned, continuing its operations independently. Cook Medical, a U.S.-based manufacturer of vascular plugs, is known for its production of embolic coils.
