APAC Structural Heart at an Inflection Point: Surgical and Transcatheter Valve Replacement Therapies in APAC 2025 and Beyond

Structural heart care in Asia–Pacific is entering a decisive transition, but not along a single path. While some markets now operate transcatheter-first models supported by mature data and reimbursement, others remain predominantly surgical due to access, funding, and infrastructure constraints. This Clearstate report examines how valve replacement therapies are evolving across key APAC markets, and why global assumptions increasingly fail at local level. For MedTech leaders, the implication is clear: future growth will be shaped by how effectively technology strategy aligns with market-specific realities — from pricing and clinical capability to ecosystem readiness.

Key Takeaways

APAC Is Not One Structural Heart Market

Adoption varies widely across markets, making one regional strategy ineffective.

Transcatheter Adoption Is Uneven but Inevitable

System readiness, not clinical belief, determines the pace of change.

Aortic Valves Are the Strategic Entry Point

TAVR signals market maturity and enables broader transcatheter expansion.

China Is Expanding Access, Not Just Displacing Surgery

Domestic innovation is growing the treated population and total volume.

Winners Will Build Ecosystems, Not Just Sell Products

Success depends on aligning technology with reimbursement, training, and data.
