Market Segmentation

The United Kingdom guidewires market share is classified into product and material.

• The coronary guidewires segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United Kingdom guidewires market is segmented by product into coronary guidewires, peripheral guidewires, urology guidewires, and neurovascular guidewires. Among these, the coronary guidewires segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The rising incidence of cardiovascular illness and the growing need for minimally invasive coronary surgery are the main causes of this dominance.

• The nitinol segment held the highest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United Kingdom guidewires market is segmented by material into nitinol, stainless steel, and hybrid. Among these, the nitinol segment held the highest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Nitinol guidewires have impressive functionalities that enhance the efficiency of minimally invasive procedures, resulting in an extraordinarily high demand for these devices. Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, is significantly more elastic, flexible, and kink-resistant than traditional stainless steel. This allows nitinol guidewires to traverse complex arterial pathways more easily and more accurately, reducing the likelihood of procedural complications and arterial injury.
