Segments - Drug Eluting Stents Market by Material (Metallic [Stainless steel, Platinum-Chromium, Nitinol, Cobalt-Chromium, and Others] and Polymer), Coating (Polymer-free Coating and Polymer-based Coating), Drug (Everolimus, Sotraolimus, Paclitacel, Sirolimus, and Others), Application (Coronary Artery Disease and Peripheral Artery Disease), End-user (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global drug eluting stents market size was valued at USD 7.6 billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 11.9 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2023 – 2031. The rising demand for reliable eluting stents due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is boosting the market.
The rapid surge in the number of artery blockage surgeries worldwide results in a higher demand for drug-eluting stents (DESs). For instance, according to the National Institutes of Health, over 400,000 coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) surgeries are performed each year.
Drug-eluting stents are peripheral or coronary stents placed to maintain and reopen patients’ coronary arteries narrowed due to arteriosclerosis. This stent is coated with medication, which is released into the affected area of the artery. Stents are very small flexible tubes made out of metal mesh or polymer. It helps to prevent the future reoccurrence of blockages in the artery.
Drug-eluting stents are utilized in the treatment of coronary artery disease a medical condition caused by a buildup of plaque within the arteries. This blockage narrowed arteries resulting in chest pain and a high risk of a heart attack. With the deployment of drug-eluting stents, doctors open up the blocked arteries and release medication that helps to keep them open and prevent further narrowing.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the global drug-eluting stents market. The lockdown restriction imposed by governments to control the spread of the virus reduced patient visits to hospitals and clinics. Thus, a decline in patient volume reduces the demand for drug-eluting stents. Furthermore, the financial strain on healthcare systems and patients alike has led to a cautious approach in terms of healthcare expenditures, which has further affected the market.
Increasing occurrences of cardiovascular conditions are expected to drive the market in the coming years. This condition often causes blockage in arteries which leads to restricted blood flow to the heart. However, drug-eluting stents are important for treating these conditions and restoring proper blood flow, resulting in boosting the market.
For instance, according to the report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on May 15, 2023, heart diseases are the leading cause of death in the US. One patient dies every 33 seconds in the US due to cardiovascular disease.
The repetitive occurrences of product recalls are expected to hinder the market in the coming years. Incorrect information in the compliance chart regarding products raises recall issues. Thus, frequent recalls may restrain the market to a certain limit. For instance, in June 2020, the US FDA sent a recall letter to Abbott for its product Xience Sierra TM Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System, owing to the incorrect expiry date of the product.
Increasing technological advancements and collaborative research activities are likely to create favorable opportunities for the players competing in the market. Innovations in stent design, materials, and drug delivery mechanisms lead to improved performance and enhanced patient outcomes. Furthermore, collaborations between healthcare institutions, academic research centers, and industry players offer opportunities for collaborative research and development in the drug-eluting stents market.

On the basis of material, the market is bifurcated into metallic and polymer. The metallic segment is further classified as stainless steel, platinum-chromium, nitinol, cobalt-chromium, and others. The metallic segment is anticipated to register a robust growth rate in the coming years, owing to its high strength, flexibility, and durability.
These properties make it a preferred choice among patients and healthcare providers. Moreover, metallic stents offer precise stent deployment allowing for accurate placement. The precise deployment ensures proper contact of the stent with the artery walls, which improves drug delivery. These all factors contribute to the growth of this segment.
Based on coating, the market is divided into polymer-free coating and polymer-based coating. The polymer-free coating segment is estimated to hold a major market share during the forecast period, as it offers a biocompatible surface and decreases the risk related to an adverse reaction to treated arteries. This further enhances the healing and integration of the stents for better patient care.
In terms of drug, the drug-eluting stents market is fragmented into everolimus, sotraolimus, paclitacel, sirolimus, and others. The sirolimus segment is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the projected period, due to its high preference among patients. Sirolimus helps to reduce the occurrence of blockages in arteries. Furthermore, reliable safety profiles and minimal adverse effects on patients associated with this drug are likely to fuel the segment.
Based on application, the market is segregated into coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease. The coronary artery disease segment is anticipated to hold a large market share in the coming years, owing to the rising number of cases of narrowing or blockage of the arteries. It is the main cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The high prevalence and impact of coronary artery disease boost the demand for effective treatments, which significantly boost the use of drug-eluting stents.
The peripheral artery disease segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR, due to the growing incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) at a rapid pace. Drug-eluting stents improve blood flow, which reduces major adverse events. For instance, according to the National Library of Medicine, more than 200 million people globally are suffering from PAD. The risk of PAD is high in the elderly population.
In terms of end-user, the market is classified as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The hospitals segment is estimated to hold a key share of the market during the forecast period, as they provide overall medical care for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, increasing preference for hospitals as primary care for coronary and peripheral artery disease is likely to propel the segment.
The ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) segment is expected to grow at a significant pace in the coming years, owing to their cost-effectiveness compared to traditional medical settings, including hospitals and clinics. ASCs perform same-day surgery, which further reduces the need for hospitalization and significantly cost. Moreover, the advancements in medical technology ensure the safe and effective performance of drug-eluting stent procedures in ambulatory healthcare service providers.
In terms of region, the global drug eluting stents market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market, due to the well-established healthcare infrastructure and easy availability of medical devices with advanced technology.
