Technavio Announces Top Five Vendors in the Global Fractional Flow Reserve Market from 2016 to 2020


Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global fractional flow reserve market 2016-2020 report. This research report also lists 10 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Competitive vendor landscape

The global fractional flow reserve market was dominated by two players, namely Volcano and St. Jude Medical. However, in the last two years, new companies such as Boston Scientific, Opsens, and ACIST (News - Alert) have entered the market with their new fractional flow reserve products. With the entry of new companies, there has been a rise in new regulatory approvals in the market. Vendors are developing new technologies such as instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and non-invasive fractional flow reserve to gain significant share as the market penetration of fractional flow reserve is increasing, especially in developed countries. Also, vendors are conducting new clinical studies to expand the application of fractional flow reserve in other cardiac diseases as well.

"In addition to the organic growth, the market is also witnessing inorganic growth as vendors involve in strategic collaborations with other companies to gain expertise and enhance market presence. The major inorganic growth initiative in the market was the acquisition of Volcano by Phillips in December 2014," says Barath Palada, a lead analyst at Technavio for medical imaging research.
