The U.S. biliary stents market was valued at $316 million in 2017 and is expected to reach $474 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2018 to 2025. A biliary metal stent also known as a bile duct stent is a flexible metallic tube specifically designed to open a patients bile duct that has been blocked or partially blocked. A biliary stent is inserted to reduce or eliminate the blockage. Once it is in place in the obstructed part, the stent expands and opens the channel so that fluids can continue to move to the intestine. Metallic stents are generally made with cobalt-chromium (stainless steel) or an alloy, including nickel-titanium (nitinol), which is a shape memory alloy.
The significant rise in the prevalence of pancreatic cancer and other biliary diseases across the U.S. is one of the major factors that drives the biliary stents market. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society (2019), pancreatic cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancers in the U.S. and about 7% of all cancer deaths. In addition, technological advancements associated with biliary stents and surge in demand for minimally invasive procedures further contributes to the market growth.
