Consulting Capabilities AbstractIncreasing Use of Regional Anaesthesia Drives the Anaesthesia Kits MarketThe practice of regional anaesthesia, and in particular, peripheral anaesthesia, is on the rise. This use is driven by the interplay of many factors including rising numbers of surgical procedures in Europe and a growing body of clinical evidence purporting its advantages over general anaesthesia. Other reasons are an expanding number of applications for these procedures and the drive to speed up patient turnover in hospitals, since recovery time after regional anaesthesia is usually shorter than after general anaesthesia. These features make the regional anaesthesia market an increasingly interesting one. This Frost & Sullivan strategic analysis service provides an overview and update of the European regional anaesthesia kit markets. The study lists the market drivers and restraints as well as the industry challenges. The market has been divided into four segments: spinal, epidural, combined spinal and epidural (CSE) and peripheral. The research enables companies to align their positioning strategies to benefit from the changing markets and obtain maximum return on investment. Market Shares Shift Due to Development of Niche Specialisations Currently, there are several participants in the regional anaesthesia kit markets. However, these companies tend to specialise in only one or two market segments. "Product quality, and therefore, branding has traditionally been important in this market and companies have developed product specialisations in various niches," says the analyst of this research. Due to these diversifications, the competitive structure and dynamics of the market are changing. While product quality is still deemed the most important factor for hospitals when sourcing a supplier, kit configuration is beginning to play an increasingly vital role. This is likely to cause a shift in market share distribution in the coming years. A Drive toward Kit Customisation to Change Competitive Dynamics of the Market Customised kits are being increasingly utilised for many hospital-based procedures in Europe. This usage is driven by various factors such as a need to reduce nursing hours spent in procedure set-up, decrease cross-contamination, track individual procedure costs more efficiently and cater to the shifting clinician preferences or requirements. Enterprises that offer these value-added benefits along with an offer of high quality regional anaesthesia products are expected to see their markets spread out.
"This market expansion is likely to continue as customisation becomes more commonplace," notes the analyst. "Companies that are anticipated to provide customised kits include domestic kit-packing organisations and some of the more established names in regional anaesthesia."
