Driver- High preference for minimally invasive procedures in tumor cases

Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure or treatment that has the potential to block one or more blood vessels or abnormal vascular channels. Various embolic agents are placed in certain ways, such as through catheters into the blood vessels, to inhibit blood flow to a specified area. The embolization procedure makes use of neurovascular embolization devices and products to discontinue bleeding or to inhibit the flow of blood to a tumor or abnormal area of tissue.

Liquid embolic agents are used widely in the embolization process because liquid formulations have a well-established role in the therapeutic embolization of blood vessels. Liquid embolic product demand is anticipated to increase at a substantial rate over the forecast period. Thus, the demand for liquid embolic vials is anticipated to remain significant throughout the forecast period as compared to that of liquid prefilled injectables.

Opportunity- The rising incidence of tumours and preference for liquid embolic

Tumor embolization offers multiple opportunities due to the rising incidence of tumours globally. This minimally invasive process involves directing a small catheter into the feeding arteries of a tumor to shut down the blood supply to the tumor or deliver tumor-killing therapy directly to the tumor.

The growing prevalence of cancer, fueled by environmental and lifestyle factors, and variations in screening and diagnosis, expands the potential for tumor embolization. Additionally, embolotherapy during cancer treatment using the liquid embolic procedure offers a promising solution for younger patients. Increasing rates of obesity in adolescents and young adults also tend to add to rising chronic disease prevalence, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some forms of cancer. According to GLOBOCAN 2024, an estimated 19.97 million new cancer cases were detected in 2022.

Furthermore, growing demand for neurovascular embolization devices and neurosurgery, owing to the rising prevalence of cerebral aneurysm cases and associated risks such as neurological disorders and loss of cognitive functions, also adds to market growth globally.

As per the Cerebrovascular Society of India 2025 data, globally, two percent of all strokes are caused due to Arterio-Venous Malformations (AVMs), and two-thirds of this patient pool are under the age of 40.

Companies developing liquid embolic agents are expected to expand their market share and enhance their sales by pursuing regulatory approvals for indications beyond neuro interventional. Such expansion into new areas is likely to open additional revenue streams, leveraging advancements in technology and broadening the scope of liquid embolics' applications.

Restraint- Complex surgical procedures

The risk associated with the liquid embolic procedure is very high, such as the chances of targeting the wrong blood vessels during surgical procedures. This can result in complications such as tissue necrosis, neurological damage, or non-target embolization. Precise and successful administration of liquid embolics demand advanced imaging and experienced interventionalists. This technical complexity limits the procedure’s accessibility and adoption in resource-constrained settings.

Further, there are a limited number of liquid embolic agent manufacturers due to intense competition from alternative transcatheter embolization devices, which is expected to limit liquid embolic systems market growth to some extent. Additionally, regulatory barriers pose further challenges in gaining approval for new liquid embolic formulations. This is likely to deter new entrants, limit innovation and restrict expansion into broader therapeutic indications, limiting the global liquid embolic market.
