华创医药周观点：血管内超声（IVUS）行业——三重因素推动增长 2026/03/15

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the growth of the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) industry, driven by three main factors: the increasing volume of PCI surgeries, the rising penetration rate of IVUS in PCI procedures, and the significant potential for domestic replacement of imported IVUS products [9][24][26]. Group 1: PCI Surgery Volume Growth - The mortality rate from coronary artery disease (CAD) remains high, with a significant number of patients. In China, the death rates for rural and urban residents due to coronary heart disease were 14.82 and 13.51 per 10,000 respectively in 2021 [14]. - The number of CAD patients in China is projected to grow from 27 million in 2022 to 32 million by 2030, with a CAGR of approximately 2.2%. Globally, the number of CAD patients is expected to increase from 213 million to 250 million during the same period, with a CAGR of about 2.0% [14][19]. - PCI has become the mainstream treatment for CAD, with advantages such as minimal invasiveness, effective results, and quick recovery times [14]. Group 2: Increasing IVUS Penetration in PCI - The penetration rate of IVUS in PCI procedures in China was only 15.4% in 2021, significantly lower than developed countries. The U.S. and Japan have penetration rates exceeding 23% [22][26]. - The domestic IVUS penetration rate has rapidly increased from 8.5% in 2020 to 15.4% in 2021, indicating a near doubling within a year. The usage of IVUS consumables in China is projected to rise from approximately 322,800 units in 2022 to 553,700 units in 2024 [26]. - The overall market size for IVUS in China is expected to grow from about 1.76 billion RMB in 2024 to 5.11 billion RMB by 2030, with a CAGR of 19.4% [26]. Group 3: Domestic Replacement Potential - The IVUS market in China is currently dominated by imported brands, with Boston Scientific and Philips holding 81.4% of the market share in 2024. Domestic brands like Beixin Life and Kaili Medical are gradually entering the market [24]. - As domestic supply increases and product quality improves, the trend towards domestic replacement is expected to accelerate, supported by favorable policies and market conditions [24][26]. - The domestic IVUS market is characterized by a growing number of approved products, with 10 products already on the market and one in clinical research [24].
