What is Intracranial Stents - Global Market?
Intracranial stents, a significant component of the global medical device market, are specialized, tiny mesh tubes used to treat conditions related to the brain's blood vessels. These stents are inserted into the arteries to prevent or treat blockages, playing a crucial role in procedures such as angioplasty. The global market for intracranial stents was valued at US$ 227.7 million in 2022, and it is projected to reach US$ 288.5 million by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% from 2023 to 2029.
Self-expandable Stents, Balloon-expanded Stents in the Intracranial Stents - Global Market:
The intracranial stents market is segmented into self-expandable stents and balloon-expanded stents. Self-expandable stents are made from a material that allows them to expand on their own once placed inside the artery. They are often used in patients with atherosclerosis, a condition where the arteries harden due to plaque build-up. On the other hand, balloon-expanded stents are inserted into the artery using a balloon catheter. The balloon is inflated to open up the stent and the artery, after which the balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the stent in place. Both types of stents play a crucial role in treating various cerebrovascular diseases and conditions.
Ischemic Stroke, Hemorrhagic Stroke in the Intracranial Stents - Global Market:
Intracranial stents are primarily used in the treatment of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain. In such cases, intracranial stents can help restore blood flow by opening up the blocked artery. Hemorrhagic stroke, on the other hand, is caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. While stents cannot treat the rupture itself, they can be used to prevent further strokes by treating any underlying conditions that may have contributed to the rupture, such as atherosclerosis or aneurysms.
Intracranial Stents - Global Market Outlook:
The market outlook for intracranial stents is promising. In 2022, the global market was valued at US$ 227.7 million, and it is expected to grow to US$ 288.5 million by 2029, representing a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period. The European Union is the largest market for intracranial stents, accounting for approximately 43% of the global market share. North America follows closely, holding about 37% of the market share. The top three companies in the intracranial stents market collectively hold about 44% of the market share, indicating a relatively concentrated market.
