Coronary stents are small, expandable mesh tubes placed in coronary arteries to keep them open and ensure adequate blood flow to the heart. They are widely used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), one of the world’s leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
The shift from bare-metal stents to advanced drug-eluting stents (DES), along with growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, has significantly expanded the coronary stent market. Technological advancements such as bioresorbable stents, next-generation polymer coatings, and imaging-guided PCI are shaping the market landscape.
2. Market Dynamics
2.1 Drivers
-
High prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD): Lifestyle-related disorders and aging populations contribute to rising PCI procedures.
-
Increase in minimally invasive interventions: Preference for angioplasty over bypass surgeries supports stent demand.
-
Technological innovations: Development of bioresorbable stents, ultrathin strut designs, and improved biocompatible coatings.
-
Growing healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets: Increased procedure volumes in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East.
-
Rise in global smoking, diabetes, and obesity rates: These risk factors substantially increase CAD incidence.
2.2 Restraints
-
Stringent regulatory requirements: Approval of DES and bioresorbable stents often requires extensive clinical data.
-
High cost of advanced stents: Limits adoption in low- and middle-income regions.
-
Product failures and recalls: Safety concerns may affect market confidence.
2.3 Opportunities
-
Expanding application of imaging-guided angioplasty (OCT, IVUS) improving stent accuracy and performance.
-
Development of polymer-free and next-generation DES for higher safety and efficacy.
-
Growing medical tourism in Asian countries for cardiovascular treatments.
-
Rising demand for fully bioresorbable scaffolds driven by long-term vessel restoration need.
2.4 Challenges
-
Restenosis and stent thrombosis risks: Despite technological improvements, complications still exist.
-
Skilled cardiologist shortages in developing regions.
-
Competition from alternative treatments, such as drug-eluting balloons.
