Global Gastrointestinal / GI Stent Market 2017-2022: Development of Biodegradable and Drug-Eluting Gastrointestinal Stents Presents Latest market Opportunity

Dublin, Dec. 14, 2017 -- The "Gastrointestinal / GI Stent Market by Type, Materia, Disease, End User - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global gastrointestinal stent market is projected to reach USD 452.6 Million by 2022 from USD 353.4 Million in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.

Market growth can be attributed to the growth in the geriatric population, increasing preference for minimally invasive surgeries, rising prevalence of GI cancers and other digestive diseases, and changing lifestyles.

The report analyzes the global gastrointestinal stent market, by product, material, disease type, end user, and region. Based on product, the biliary stents segment accounted for the largest share of global market in 2016. This can be attributed to the high prevalence of pancreatic cancer and biliary diseases as well as the growth in the number of surgical procedures for the treatment of these diseases.

The major complications associated with the implementation of gastrointestinal stents include stent misplacement or displacement, bleeding, obstruction, perforation, stent fracture or collapse, and infection. Bacterial colonization is a major factor leading to plastic stent occlusion, which results in sludge formation and luminal obstruction. Covered gastrointestinal stents generally prevent obstruction from tumor ingrowth with a covering membrane but have a higher migration rate. These complications associated with gastrointestinal stenting are limiting their adoption.

Boston Scientific Corporation (US) dominated the global gastrointestinal stent market in 2016. The company focuses on increasing its share in the market by strategically investing in R&D activities. For instance, in 2016, the company invested USD 920 million in R&D, as compared to USD 876 million in 2015. The company's focus on improving its speed and performance through new capabilities, processes, and advanced innovative technologies; its expanding commercial presence globally; and its cost-reduction initiatives help it to accelerate its growth in the market. In 2016, the company's revenue reported a growth of 12% as compared to the previous year. The company is also focusing on expanding its business in emerging countries. It reported a growth of 22% in its annual revenue in China, which is one of the largest emerging markets in the developing world.
