Aspiration Catheters Global Market Report 2026

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.

Tariffs are impacting the aspiration catheters market by increasing the cost of imported medical devices, components, and specialized materials, leading to higher prices for disposable and reusable catheters. Segments such as hydrophilic coated and dual-lumen aspiration catheters are particularly impacted, with Asia-Pacific regions like China and India facing significant supply chain cost pressures. However, tariffs also encourage local manufacturing and innovation in catheter design, potentially boosting domestic production capabilities and long-term market resilience.

This aspiration catheters 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 aspiration catheters market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.37 billion in 2025 to $3.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced catheter technologies, growing prevalence of cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases, dependence on hospital-based interventions, rising awareness of minimally invasive techniques, reliance on imported medical devices.

The aspiration catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.39 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to innovations in hydrophilic and dual-lumen catheter designs, growth of ambulatory surgical centers and specialty clinics, increasing geriatric population, rising investment in cardiovascular and stroke treatment infrastructure, adoption of automation and smart healthcare technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for minimally invasive procedures, technological advancements in catheter design and materials, increasing adoption of neurovascular and cardiovascular interventions, stringent regulatory compliance and quality standards, expansion of hospitals and specialty clinics.

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the aspiration catheters market in the coming years. Cardiovascular diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and strokes, and remain one of the primary causes of illness and death globally. The growing burden of these conditions is largely attributed to sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating patterns, and widespread tobacco consumption, all of which heighten the risk of acute coronary events. Aspiration catheters aid in treatment by facilitating the swift removal of blood clots from obstructed arteries, thereby enhancing patient outcomes during emergency procedures. For example, in October 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based federal agency, reported that around 805,000 Americans suffered a heart attack in 2023, representing a 5% increase compared to 2022. Consequently, the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is fueling the expansion of the aspiration catheters market.

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 January 2025, Stryker Corporation, a US-based medical device company, completed the acquisition of Inari Medical, Inc. for approximately US $4.9 billion. With this acquisition, Stryker aims to enhance its peripheral vascular and neurovascular portfolio by incorporating Inari's mechanical thrombectomy solutions for venous thromboembolism (VTE), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. This move is intended to provide life-saving endovascular treatments and broaden Stryker's global presence in vascular procedures. Inari Medical, Inc. is a US-based medical device company specializing in mechanical thrombectomy devices and solutions for peripheral vascular diseases.
