An artificial tube graft called gastrointestinal (GI) stent is put into the body to prevent obstructions in the stomach, oesophagus, and small intestine. It is an expandable metal or plastic mesh tube that is inserted into an anatomical duct to treat blockages brought on by malignant tissues in the bile ducts, oesophagus, intestine, or colon. It helps to eliminate the blockage and reduce the pressure caused by inflammation. A few of the most prevalent types of gastrointestinal stents are biliary, colonic, duodenal, esophageal, and pancreatic stents.

One of the main factors fuelling the market's expansion is the increased incidence of colorectal cancer in the world and rising geriatric population with gastrointestinal conditions such as diverticulosis, bowel disorders, and gastrointestinal cancers.

As per the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, colorectal cancer caused more than 1.9 million new cases and more than 930,000 deaths worldwide. By 2040, there will be 3.2 million new occurrences of colorectal cancer annually (an increase of 63%) and 1.6 million annual fatalities (an increase of 73%).

What are the Key Drivers for Players in the Gastrointestinal Stent Market?

One of the biggest causes of death around the globe is gastrointestinal cancer. Morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases like esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal digestive disorders, etc., have sharply increased in recent years.

According to statistics on cancer published in the International Journal of Cancer 2020, stomach cancer accounted for about 1.1 million new cases worldwide in 2020 and was the fourth leading cause of cancer death, accounting for about 800,000 deaths. It was also the fifth most common malignant tumor worldwide.

Companies have been manufacturing products like biodegradable stents made of biodegradable materials like polyester, polycarbonate, bacterially produced polymers etc. with the potential to elute drugs. Drug-stents can reduce lumen occlusion rates by delivering targeted drugs directly to tissue in addition to radial expansion to maintain luminal potency.

As they progressively break down and are finally absorbed from the GI, biodegradable stents also aid in preserving the digestive tract's functionality for a certain period. Above factors are expected to boost market growth and provide lucrative opportunities to the players globally.

What are the Factors Restraining Demand for Gastrointestinal Stent Market?

Medical device approval regulations that are too strict will impede the market's expansion. The market growth rate will be further slowed down by unfavourable reimbursement circumstances in developing and underdeveloped economies along with stent-related complications. Biliary stents, as an example, exhibit early problems such as bleeding, infection, and pancreatitis. Esophageal stent therapy can cause painful foreign body symptoms and pulmonary aspiration as side effects.

The cost of healthcare has risen dramatically over the world in recent years, as have the prices of medical equipment. Healthcare providers and payers have limited financial means to spend on such a pricey surgery in developing nations like India and Brazil. In addition, Government in many Asian nations does not provide the healthcare coverage for endoscopic stenting treatments, which is one of the key reasons for patient and physician resistance to gastrointestinal stents. The absence of reimbursement in developing countries like India together with high product cost are expected to hinder the market growth in future.

What is Driving the USA Market?

The USA will dominate the global market in 2023 with a market share of 41.9%.

Presence of large number of players, increasing cases of cancer, advantageous medical reimbursement policies, advanced levels of healthcare technologies, greater adoption of minimally invasive surgeries have made the USA market to dominate globally.

According to data from the American Cancer Society, nearly 43,030 new cases of rectal cancer and around 97,220 new cases of colon cancer were reported in 2018, and the number of cases have been increasing.

Why is the Germany Gastrointestinal Stent Industry Considered Lucrative?

Germany is set to hold a market share of 7.5% in 2023 within the global market.

In recent years, the role of stenting in the management of patients with digestive tract obstruction in Germany has expanded to include the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, and colon. Recent technological advancements have improved stent patency and reduced stent-induced complications, resulting in a higher quality of life.

To avoid migration, a new device called Stentfix OTSC System has been developed in 2020. It is made up of a Nitinol clip that is preloaded on the applicator cap and is used to clip the flared end of FCSEMS (Fully Covered Self Expanding Metal Stent) to the gastrointestinal mucosal layer. Germany also has a large accessible medical facility, both of which are expected to increase demand for stents in the market.

What Makes the China Market Attractive?

The China market is set to hold around 4.7% revenue share in 2023 within the global market.

China market is increasing due to rising prevalence of gastrointestinal cancer and diseases. According to published report of 2022 in current oncology research article of MDPI publisher, reported upper gastrointestinal cancer incidences in China were 14,934,040 cases of male and 6,262,431 cases of female with growth rate 181.44% in between 1990 to 2019.

Another factor is the ongoing development of GI stents for various applications in order to expand treatment options and reduce complications.

  • For example, as per the article published in Journal of Thoracic Disease 2019, a Chinese study including 24 patients was conducted to understand the treatment option for refractory esophageal stenosis. The study involved use of self-expandable segmental stent- metallic and fully covered (SEMS). Following the result, stenting using SEMS proved out to be safe technological breakthrough, requiring minimal dilatation and resulting in lower morbidity and a higher quality of life
