The growing incidence of kidney diseases has a significant impact on the ureteral stents market. Kidney diseases such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, tumors, and other urological disorders often require the placement of a ureteral stent. A ureteral stent is a flexible, hollow tube that is inserted into the ureter to help urine flow from the kidney to the bladder. Ureteral stents are used to treat a variety of conditions, including kidney stones, tumors, and strictures. The increasing prevalence of kidney diseases, particularly kidney stones, is one of the key drivers of the ureteral stents market. According to a report by the National Kidney Foundation, kidney stones affect about one in ten people at some point in their lives, and the incidence of kidney stones has been increasing over the past few decades. In addition, the increasing aging population is also contributing to the growth of the ureteral stents market. As people age, they are more likely to develop urological disorders that require the use of ureteral stents. Moreover, technological advancements in ureteral stent design and materials have also driven the growth of the ureteral stents market CAGR. These advancements have led to the development of stents with improved durability, biocompatibility, and ease of insertion, which has made them more attractive to both patients and healthcare providers.
Rising prevalence of kidney diseases is projected to propel worldwide ureteral stents market to expand during the projection period. For instance, the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) reports that there are around 786,000 people in the country who have end-stage renal disease (ESRD), of whom 71% require dialysis and 29% a kidney transplant. In the United States, 131,636 people have received an ESRD diagnosis in 2018, a 2.3% increase from 2017. Unadjusted ESRD incidence per million grew by 1.5% between 2017 and 2018, however adjusted ESRD incidence per million increased by just 0.2%. Also, According to USRDS Coordinating Center (CC), 14.9% of the adult population in the United States that were surveyed during 2015 and 2018 had chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on a low eGFR or proteinuria (on a single examination). According to the same organization, in 2018, the number of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESDR) incidents reported were 1,31,112 and in 2019, the number reached 1,34,608. which is anticipated to fuel significant growth of ureteral stents market revenue.
The ureteral stents market segmentation, based on type, includes Double Pigtail Ureteral Stent, Others. The double pigtail ureteral stent segment held the majority share in 2022 contribution to significant share in respect to the ureteral stents market revenue. This is primarily owing to growth in urological diseases and obstruction, a strong demand for stents with minimal migration, and basis of growth of cutting-edge stents with few disadvantages. Also, a number of actions done by the government and healthcare organizations also contribute to the market's expansion.
The ureteral stents market segmentation, based on material, includes metallic stents, polymers stents, others. The metallic stents segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. This is due to the metallic ureteral stents' resistance toward being encrusted with stone material. As a result, stent change procedures are performed less frequently and dwelling durations are extended. Also, using a metallic ureteral stent for benign ureteral obstruction results in lower overall procedural costs than using a polymer stent. Hence, rising demand of metal material implants for ureteral stents positively impacts the market growth.
The ureteral stents market data has been bifurcated by treatment into Kidney Stones, Kidney Transplant, Others. The kidney stones segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The adoption of a sedentary lifestyle and dietary trends that cause urolithiasis are two factors that are fueling the expansion of this market segment. For instance, a 2018 study published in the NCBI predicted that over 600,000 Americans get urinary stones each year. The need for ureteral stent during ureteroscopy and ureterorenoscopy, among other operations used to treat kidney stones, is what is causing the segment to grow.
