Coronary Stents Market

Global Coronary Stents Market Size

As per our research report, the global coronary stents market size is forecasted to grow to USD 21.42 billion by the end of 2033 from USD 11.92 billion in 2024. This market is estimated to showcase a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. The coronary stents market size was valued at USD 11.08  billion in 2024.

Coronary stents are small metal tubes placed in coronary arteries to supply blood to the heart. Stents help keep arteries open and reduce the chances of narrowing again during coronary heart disease treatment. Also, percutaneous coronary intervention is used to open coronary arteries. The stent is inserted during angioplasty therapy and in an emergency to treat a heart attack disease. A cardiac physician will place the stent over a catheter and directly insert it into an artery in the body during any heart-related procedure. Dual therapy stent is the latest type in the coronary stents market.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing number of patients suffering from coronary artery disease across the world is primarily driving the growth of the coronary stents market.

Patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) are treated using a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure. The coronary stent is the major module used in this treatment procedure where the growing number of patients with this disease is escalating the market growth rate. According to a recent survey by the British Heart Foundation, 1 out of 6 deaths are due to CAD. In 2019, around nine million people were killed due to CAD, and this number is estimated to grow at a faster rate.

The growing prevalence of minimally invasive procedures is escalating the growth of the coronary stents market.

The usage of minimally invasive procedures in emergency surgery has been growing at a higher rate over the past couple of years. Growing focus on the adoption of innovative procedures with the latest technology is greatly prompting the growth rate of the market. In addition, the growing prominence of reducing human errors while performing surgeries and the rapid adoption of minimally invasive procedures to reduce these errors are ascribed to boost the market growth rate. These procedures require very few hospital stays, which mainly boosts the usage of minimally invasive procedures. This attribute is likely to promote the market share to an extent. 

The launch of ambulatory surgical centers is additionally to fuel the market size. The growing need to increase the operation theatres and increasing focus on new equipment are ascribed to bolster the market size. Ambulatory surgical centers put an end to several challenging factors, such as delays in schedules and slow operating rooms. With the growing population, the need for the adoption of these new centers is accelerating across the world. 

The launch of innovative products is mostly eliminating the procedural complexities, which enhances the patient’s recovery time and is likely to leverage the growth rate of the coronary stent market. Many companies are investing more in the development of advanced products to ensure patient safety and treatment efficiency. The growing geriatric population is leveling up the number of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases globally. For instance, in 2019, according to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease was responsible for 32% of mortalities around the world. 

The shifting trend towards innovative treatment procedures is creating growth opportunities for the coronary stents market. Growing disposable income in developed and developing countries is also an attribute that enhances the opportunities for the market. The launch of new products and receiving approval from the government authorities is also a factor deemed to project growth opportunities for the market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high cost of treatment procedures in developed countries is slowly degrading the coronary stents market growth.

Coronary artery disease can be treated with other procedures, which is cost-effective, and this factor is to limit the market share. Along with this, side effects associated with minimally invasive procedures among some people are restraining the market demand. In 2020, with the worst hit of the COVID-19 outbreak, the coronary stents market share was completely reduced due to lockdown restrictions. In the initial phase of COVID-19, the market demand for coronary stents was very low, and most of the surgical procedures were postponed. The key players in the coronary stents market announced there was a huge revenue fall in 2020 with reduced demand for coronary stent devices. However, the demand for the coronary stents market escalated by the end of 2020 and the revenue started to grow enormously with the increasing need for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases across the world. 

The risk associated with the implantation of the stent and growing product failures while performing treatment procedures are great challenges for market growth.
