A ureteral stent is a thin, flexible tube placed in the ureter, which transfers urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Its major function is to prevent or treat obstructions that interfere with urine flow, which can be caused by a number of medical problems such as kidney stones, tumors, or strictures. Ureteral stents are designed to keep the ureter wide enough for urine to pass properly from the kidney to the bladder. They are frequently employed in situations where there is a blockage.
The increasing demand for ureteral stents is the driving factor that drives the market over the forecast period. This increase in demand can be linked to various interrelated causes, including the rising prevalence of urological problems, the increasing geriatric population, and advances in stent technology. All these factors together increase the demand for ureteral stents and it drives the market.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increasing demand for ureteral stents
The increasing demand for ureteral stents is expected to be a significant factor in the growth of the global ureteral stents market. The global ureteral stents market is poised for significant expansion, owing to the rising number of kidney-related disorders, increasing investments, and technological advancements. The rising incidence of kidney-related conditions has a substantial impact on the increasing demand for ureteral stents.
For instance, according to the National Institute of Health, chronic kidney disease is a progressive disorder that affects more than 10% of the world's population, or over 800 million people across the globe. Moreover, according to the National Kidney Foundation, over 2 million people worldwide are receiving treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, however, this estimate may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment for their survival. As these problems become increasingly common, the demand for effective treatments, such as ureteral stenting, has increased.
In recent times, many funds and investments have been made for research, development, and manufacture of ureteral stents. For instance, in November 2024, The Tamil Nadu government and Lubrizol, based in the United States, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The partnership, which cost approximately INR 200 crore, generated high-quality medical tubing for key applications such as ureteral stents, neurovascular and cardiovascular treatments, intravenous catheters, hemodialysis tubes, and central venous catheters. The increased investments, increase the production volume of the ureteral stents to meet the increasing demand for ureteral stents and it drives the market.
High risk of complications post-stent removal
Factors such as the high risk of complications post-stent removal are expected to hamper the global ureteral stents market. Complications such as infection, hematuria, and acute pain can have a major impact on patient quality of life, increasing reluctance to use these devices. Irritative voiding symptoms, such as increased urine urgency, frequency, and discomfort, are one of the most prevalent consequences of stent removal. Furthermore, more serious complications such as urinary tract infections and prolonged bleeding may occur following removal, necessitating additional surgical treatments. Fear of these potential consequences can cause patients to become anxious, and urologists might become reluctant to suggest stenting as a first-line treatment option.
