Further, hypertension rates have been high in countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, etc. This has been due to the low levels of physical activity, limited consumption of fruits & vegetables, high-fat diet, smoking, etc. witnessed among the regional population. High blood pressure weakens the heart, thickens the blood vessel walls, and contributes to increasing the heart’s workload. The patient in due course suffers from heart failure. A similar scenario has been there in the GCC region where a significant number of patients have been developing hypertension and eventually heart failure. Therefore, the demand for heart failure treatment devices like ICD, CRT, and others has been continuously there in the region.

Moreover, there has been a heightened prevalence of obesity in GCC countries with rates increasing tremendously due to extreme levels of wealth in countries like the UAE & Qatar which allows them to spend more on unhealthy foods. In addition, extreme temperatures crossing the 50 degrees Celsius threshold in countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, & Kuwait among others have been discouraging individuals from taking part in strenuous physical activity outside. This high level of obesity has been greatly causing hospital admissions due to heart failure in the region, subsequently raising the demand for heart failure treatment technologies like ICD & CRT. For instance, as stated by the World Health Organization (WHO), in GCC countries, obesity prevalence in GCC countries like Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia has been 38%, 35%, and 35% respectively.

GCC Heart Failure Treatment Devices Market Driver:

Alarming Heart Failure Rates in the Region – Although, infectious diseases like COVID-19 and tuberculosis have done immense harm to the global population including to those individuals based in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other GCC countries. However, over the years, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cardiovascular diseases and heart failure that at one time were majorly heard in Western nations like the US & Europe have been greatly impacting the health status of the GCC nations.

The overall prevalence of these diseases particularly heart failure in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and others has been at the top. This has been connected primarily to the incidence & prevalence of risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, increased consumption of fatty foods, etc. These have been responsible for causing coronary artery disease (CAD) and eventually heart failure. Moreover, these have been at the topmost for causing a significant number of deaths. Thereby, the need for heart failure devices like ICD, CRT, impella, & LVAD has been high to help patients survive heart failure & reduce mortality rates. In the coming years, the heart failure treatment device market will also be registering significant growth in the GCC region.

GCC Heart Failure Treatment Devices Market Challenge:

Import Dependency Giving Rise to Medical Inflation & Supply Chain Challenges – GCC nations like the UAE & Saudi Arabia have been extremely dependent upon imported medical devices for heart failure treatment. Local manufacturing in these nations has been limited to producing basic items like PPE, syringes, and administration devices. Although importing medical devices has been crucial for these countries to fulfill their healthcare needs, it has created certain challenges for the overall Heart Failure Treatment Devices Market in the GCC region. The rising cost of healthcare services has been one of the major challenges arising from the import of medical devices. This has been restricting healthcare facilities with limited budgets from procuring advanced devices like ICD & CRT-D and offering treatments for heart failure. Moreover, the hospitals that do procure these devices tend to offer services at high cost making it difficult for patients to receive treatment in their home country. Eventually, the demand for these devices declines.

Additionally, high reliance on imports has exposed the region to supply chain disruptions like that occurred during the recent pandemic-imposed lockdowns. These not only cause delays in delivery processes & patient care but also affect the company’s businesses & revenue. Hence, the GCC Heart Failure Treatment Devices Market has been facing restrictions in complete expansion due to the aforementioned factors.

GCC Heart Failure Treatment Devices Market Trend:

Development of AI Integrated & Miniaturized Devices – In recent years, AI has gained immense traction in healthcare. In the case of heart failure treatment technologies like ICD, CRT-P, & CRT-D, AI integration has been benefitting patients greatly. This is by improving the response rates and reducing the hospital readmission rates which have been high due to heart failure in GCC countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others. As a result demand & acceptance for such AI-integrated ICDs & CRTs have been increasing in the region, propelling the overall GCC Heart Failure Treatment Devices Market.

Further, in recent years the focus has been on improving patient comfort and this has led to the development of miniaturized devices. These devices without compromising on quality, tend to be more advanced, minimally invasive, reduce risk post-surgery, and offer the benefit of shorter hospital stays. The healthcare professionals and patients thereby have been inclining more towards such devices like AUTOGENᵀᴹ MINI ICD & DYNAGENᵀᴹ MINI ICD by Boston Scientific Corporation which are 20% smaller and 24% thinner than most marketed ICDs. As more companies start bending towards offering such kind of AI-integrated and miniaturized heart failure treatment devices, they are expected to register immense growth.
