The global pancreatic and biliary stents market is experiencing a highly fragmented landscape, marked by oligopolistic competition among a few renowned brands. Following the patent pool in the pancreatic and biliary stents market, established manufacturers are actively exploring new avenues for revenue generation. Companies like Cook Medical Inc., Boston Scientific Corporation, CONMED Corporation, and others are fiercely competing to secure a significant share of emerging markets. The market dynamics in the U.S. demonstrate substantial untapped opportunities in pancreatic cancer and benign biliary strictures applications, particularly in ambulatory care centers and cancer care centers. Manufacturers are making substantial investments and focusing on introducing innovative products to enhance their market presence.
Several companies are launching pancreatic and biliary stents with additional features to capture a larger market share. For example, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. recently introduced the VIABIL Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis with a unique antimigration technology that simplifies preoperative procedures. The rapid industrialization in emerging economies across East Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia Pacific regions is bolstering the production and research and development of low-cost medical devices. Countries like China, with well-developed manufacturing infrastructure, low-cost labor, and trained technicians, are playing a pivotal role in supporting market growth. Manufacturers such as Taewoong Medical and Boston Scientific have established R&D centers and manufacturing divisions in both developing and developed economies like Ireland, Malaysia, and China, capitalizing on the profitable strategy that boosts sales in these high-growth markets.
Advancements in gastrointestinal surgeries have expanded treatment options for pancreatic and biliary diseases, reducing the risks associated with traditional open surgical treatments. The use of pancreatic and biliary stents has become the cornerstone for pancreas divisum therapy, supplemented by new technologies like bioabsorbable stents. This progress is expected to result in a surge in the number of pancreatic and biliary surgeries. Hospitals in developed and developing markets across North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe are increasingly seeking high-quality pancreatic and biliary stents, reflecting the growing awareness of stent-based treatments.
While pancreatic and biliary stents offer valuable treatment options, they are not without challenges. Complications arising from their usage in the treatment of biliary disorders and pancreatic cancer can lead to potential blockages and adverse effects, including muscle aches, high temperatures, abdominal pain, and other symptoms. Complications associated with biliary metal stents can include pain, bleeding, fever, nausea, vomiting, and acute cholangitis. Additionally, pancreatic and biliary stents may lead to complications such as stent displacement or misplacement, perforation, obstruction, collapse, stent fracture, and infections. These challenges may impact the demand for pancreatic and biliary stents throughout the forecast period.
Pancreatic and biliary stents are vital tools used to facilitate the drainage of bile into the digestive tract, primarily in cases of biliary obstruction, biliary fistulas, and biliary strictures. Biliary stents represent the current endoscopic solutions for stent insertion. The placement of pancreatic and biliary stents is an increasingly adopted method to reduce the risk of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
