In terms of geography, North America dominates the global drug-eluting balloons market. This is due to increasing prevalence of coronary artery diseases in the region. The U.S. represents the largest market for drug-eluting balloons in North America, followed by Canada. In Europe, Germany, France, and the U.K. hold major shares of the drug-eluting balloons market. The drug-eluting balloons market in Asia is expected to show high growth rates in the next five years. This is due to various initiatives undertaken by governments to increase awareness about therapeutic applications of drug-eluting balloons in coronary and peripheral artery diseases. In addition, aging population and increased investments by many foreign medical device companies have also propelled the growth of the drug-eluting balloons market in the region. India, China, and Japan are expected to be the fastest growing markets for drug-eluting balloons in Asia.
