A drug-coated balloon (DCB) is a medical device employed in the intervention of narrowed or obstructed blood vessels, particularly in interventional cardiology and interventional radiology. Its design facilitates the direct delivery of medication to the site of vascular disease while concurrently performing angioplasty.
The primary categories of products encompassed within drug-coated balloons include those tailored for peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, and other indications. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) for peripheral artery disease are a specific type of medical device utilized in addressing peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is characterized by the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels outside the heart or in the lower extremities. Various drug types, such as paclitaxel and sirolimus, are employed, and the end-users encompass hospitals, cardiac catheterization labs, and ambulatory surgical centers.
Tariffs are influencing the drug-coated balloons market by increasing costs of imported catheter materials, specialty polymers, drug-coating compounds, and precision manufacturing equipment. Hospitals and cardiac catheterization labs in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-value components, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures on device exports. These tariffs are raising procedure costs and slowing device adoption. At the same time, they are encouraging local manufacturing, regional R&D investments, and development of cost-optimized drug-coated balloon technologies.
The drug-coated balloons market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides drug-coated balloons market statistics, including drug-coated balloons industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a drug-coated balloons market share, detailed drug-coated balloons market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the drug-coated balloons industry. This drug-coated balloons 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 drug-coated balloons market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.24 billion in 2025 to $1.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, expansion of interventional cardiology procedures, early adoption of paclitaxel-coated balloons, growing demand for restenosis prevention, advancements in angioplasty techniques.
The drug-coated balloons market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.55 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing use of dcb therapies in coronary applications, rising adoption of next-generation coating technologies, expansion of catheter-based interventions, growing investments in vascular innovation, increasing preference for stent-free treatment options. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of sirolimus-coated balloons, rising use of dcbs in peripheral artery disease, growing preference for minimally invasive vascular treatments, expansion of advanced drug-coating technologies, enhanced focus on improved drug delivery efficiency.
The increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is projected to drive the growth of the drug-coated balloons market in the future. CAD is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, often leading to heart attacks. Drug-coated balloons are medical devices used to treat coronary artery disease, releasing medication into the artery during the procedure to help prevent restenosis, which is the re-narrowing of the artery following angioplasty. For instance, a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in August 2022 indicated that all four cardiovascular risk factors are expected to rise among the general U.S. population from 2025 to 2060. Diabetes is projected to see the most significant increase at 39.3%, followed by dyslipidemia at 27.6%, hypertension at 25.1%, and obesity at 18.3%. Additionally, the researchers found that rates of heart failure (33.4%) and ischemic heart disease (30.7%) are expected to experience the largest increases, along with heart attacks (16.9%) and strokes (33.8%). Consequently, the rise in coronary artery disease prevalence is anticipated to boost the drug-coated balloon market.
Leading companies in the drug-coated balloon sector are dedicated to advancing their technologies, including paclitaxel-coated balloon catheters, to improve treatment efficacy for conditions such as coronary in-stent restenosis. These advancements aim to enhance patient outcomes and minimize the risk of complications associated with traditional therapies. Paclitaxel-coated balloon catheters are specialized devices that release the drug paclitaxel into the artery wall upon inflation, helping to prevent re-narrowing after angioplasty. For instance, in March 2024, Boston Scientific Corporation, a U.S.-based medical device manufacturer, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its AGENT(TM) Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB). This device is designed specifically for treating coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with coronary artery disease, which occurs when a previously stented blood vessel becomes obstructed or narrowed due to plaque or scar tissue.
In October 2023, Cordis US Corp, a U.S.-based manufacturer of interventional cardiovascular technologies, acquired Med Alliance SA for an undisclosed amount, reported at approximately $1.1 billion, with total consideration of up to $1.135 billion. Through this acquisition, Cordis aims to incorporate Med Alliance's SELUTION SLR(TM) sirolimus micro-reservoir drug-coated balloon into its coronary and peripheral portfolios to accelerate market access, expand clinical development, and offer broader treatment options for patients with coronary and peripheral vascular disease. Med Alliance SA, based in Switzerland, specializes in drug-coated balloons.
