HYDERABAD, India, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the global
drug-eluting stent market is poised to grow from USD 6.35 billion in 2025 to nearly USD 9.47 billion by 2030, reflecting a healthy 8.3% CAGR. Growth is being fueled by rising demand for minimally invasive cardiac procedures, next-generation designs that reduce the risk of restenosis, and an aging population with more complex healthcare needs. At the same time, broader reimbursement access in emerging economies and evolving hospital purchasing strategies are reshaping the
drug-eluting stent market, creating stronger competition and driving innovation at both the product and service level.
Key Insights and Trends Shaping the Drug-Eluting Stent Market
The global drug-eluting stent (DES) market is undergoing a period of transformation, with several emerging trends influencing growth, competition, and adoption across healthcare systems. From procedure backlogs and technology upgrades to evolving reimbursement policies and demographic shifts, these factors are redefining how hospitals, physicians, and manufacturers engage with this critical segment of cardiac care.
Clearing Backlogs Boosts PCI Demand
Elective procedure backlogs have driven PCI volumes beyond pre-pandemic levels, prompting hospitals and distributors to adopt more flexible, demand-driven stent planning. Early adopters of radial-access techniques are seeing faster growth in utilization.
Next-Gen Stents Gain Ground
Stronger safety data and reduced therapy needs are accelerating the shift to second- and third-generation drug-eluting stents. Hospitals are phasing out older models and using tiered inventories to balance cost with complexity.
Reimbursement Expands Access
Broader reimbursement policies, especially in emerging markets, are enabling wider adoption of advanced stents. Manufacturers are supporting this by pairing regulatory filings with health-economic data to secure faster inclusion in national formularies.
Aging Population Shapes Demand
Rising elderly populations are driving demand for ultrathin-strut stents and advanced imaging. Hospitals are upgrading technology to manage complex cases, while payers adjust reimbursement to reflect higher-acuity care.
Restraints Impacting the Drug-Eluting Stent Market
Despite advancements, safety concerns like late-stent thrombosis still challenge the drug-eluting stent market, pushing regulators to demand longer trials and raising costs for smaller firms. Growing adoption of OCT is also shifting preferences toward stents with better visibility.
Meanwhile, pricing pressure from group purchasing organizations in mature markets continues to squeeze margins. To counter this, major players are adding value-driven services, while regional manufacturers focus on smaller hospitals and niche markets less affected by price consolidation.
