Stents Global Market Report 2026

A stent is a small, mesh-like device that is inserted into a narrowed or blocked blood vessel to help maintain its openness and ensure proper blood circulation. It is commonly used in medical procedures to treat conditions such as coronary artery disease and to prevent arteries from collapsing after balloon angioplasty.

The primary types of stents include coronary stents, peripheral stents, stent-related implants, biliary stents, carotid stents, and neurovascular stents. Coronary stents are tiny mesh tubes inserted into the arteries of the heart to keep them open when they become blocked or narrowed due to plaque buildup. These stents are made from various materials, including metallic, polymer, and natural biomaterials, and are used by a range of end users such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.

Tariffs are impacting the stents market by raising costs for imported metallic and polymer biomaterials used in manufacturing, impacting segments like coronary and peripheral stents. Regions such as Asia-Pacific, including China and India, which serve as major production and export hubs, are particularly affected. This has led to higher manufacturing costs and supply chain disruptions. Positively, tariffs have encouraged local production, innovation in material alternatives, and investment in domestic stent manufacturing capabilities.

The stents market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides stents market statistics, including stents industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a stents market share, detailed stents market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the stents industry. This stents market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The stents market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.81 billion in 2025 to $12.49 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited stent material options, reliance on bare-metal stents, increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease, growing hospital infrastructure, adoption of angioplasty procedures.

The stents market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of drug-eluting and bioabsorbable stents, expansion of neurovascular and peripheral interventions, rising investment in stent R&D, increasing aging population with cardiovascular conditions, integration of smart and AI-assisted stent deployment systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of drug-eluting and bioabsorbable stents, increasing use of peripheral and neurovascular stents, focus on minimally invasive procedures and endovascular surgeries, growing demand for customized stent designs and materials, enhanced regulatory compliance and post-market surveillance.

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is expected to drive the growth of the stents market in the future. Cardiovascular disorders are health conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels, impairing the heart's function. The rise in these disorders is linked to factors such as physical inactivity, which can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, and poor cardiovascular health by reducing the efficiency of the heart and circulation. Stent placement helps by restoring blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries, thus reducing the risk of heart attacks and other complications. For example, in January 2025, the British Heart Foundation reported that 7.6 million people in the UK were living with heart and circulatory diseases, accounting for nearly 27% of all deaths in the country, resulting in over 170,000 fatalities annually. As a result, the growing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is fueling the growth of the stent market.

Major companies operating in the stent market are emphasizing the development of innovative technologies such as drug-eluting stents to improve treatment effectiveness, lower restenosis rates, and enhance patient outcomes. Drug-eluting stents are small mesh tubes placed in arteries that gradually release medication to prevent the vessel from narrowing again after intervention. For example, in April 2023, Terumo Europe N.V., a Belgium-based medical device company, introduced the Ultimaster Nagomi sirolimus-eluting coronary stent system for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) cases following CE mark approval. The system is engineered to improve deliverability in challenging anatomies, enable shorter dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimens for patients at high risk of bleeding, and preserve optimal radial strength. It also incorporates advanced polymer technology to ensure controlled drug release and promote improved endothelial healing.

In January 2024, Olympus Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of optics and reprography products, acquired Taewoong Medical Co. Ltd. for $370 million. With this acquisition, Olympus aims to strengthen its position in the gastrointestinal market by expanding its portfolio of innovative therapeutic stents and enhancing its presence in the global medical device industry. Taewoong Medical specializes in manufacturing gastrointestinal metallic stents and will help Olympus provide comprehensive solutions for gastrointestinal disorders.
