Introduction of Drug Eluting Stent with Bioabsorbable Polymers is anticipated to Drive  the Market Growth

The evolution of drug eluting stent has led to opening of new pathways to percutaneous coronary interventions in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The development and introduction of fully bioresorbable polymers, aims towards avoiding restenosis, ensure patient safety, and improve clinical outcomes of the procedure. Several market players have been focusing on R&D and have launched advanced stents with bioabsorbable polymers. The DES enables accelerated healing of the vessels and ensures minimal damage to the tissues. For instance, in February 2019, Biotronik’s DES called ‘Orsiro’ received FDA approval. Orsiro is the first ultrathin, bioresorbable polymer coated DES.

Additionally, in July 2016, Abbott received FDA approval for Absorb GT1, a bioabsorbable polymer-based DES. The Absorb GT1 Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold System (BVS), which releases the everolimus drug to limit the growth of scar tissue, is gradually absorbed by the body over the duration of three years. The launch of bioabsorbable polymer-based stents is anticipated to fuel the demand and subsequently drive the growth of the market.

MARKET DRIVERS

Rising Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease to Drive the Drug Eluting Stent Market

The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is rising globally, owing to numerous factors such as smoking, diabetes, obesity, and lifestyle changes. According to National Centre for Health Statistics, 1 in 4 deaths in the U.S. is a result of coronary artery diseases (CAD). In 2017, an estimated 18.2 million adults age 20 years and above in the U.S., were suffering from CAD. According to the European Heart Network, in 2015 more than 11.3 million new cases of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases were diagnosed in Europe. The rising prevalence of coronary artery diseases and rising healthcare expenditure in developing countries, are factors projected to boost the demand for these stents in the global market.

Additionally, rising prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is another factor anticipated to drive the Drug Eluting Stent market growth. For instance, according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, approximately 8.5 million people aged 40 yrs. and above in the U.S., are suffering from PAD.

This is further anticipated to propel the demand for DES for peripheral stenting procedures globally.

Introduction of Advanced Drug Eluting Stent is projected to drive their Adoption in the Global Market

Robust research and development on cardiovascular interventions and introduction of bioresorbable polymer based DES are likely to play an important role in the strategic expansion of manufacturers in the  DES market. Introduction of technologically advanced stents is one of the major factors anticipated to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

In February 2019, Biotronik received FDA approval for Orsiro ultrathin DES proposed for use in percutaneous coronary intervention procedures. In May 2019, Boston Scientific launched third-generation platinum chromium DES TAXUS. The TAXUS element stent features a platinum chromium alloy engineered specifically for coronary stent applications and represents the company's third generation drug eluting stent technology.

Additionally, in September 2018, Terumo Corporation launched Ultimaster Tansei Drug Eluting Stent (DES) in Japan. The introduction of the Ultimaster Tansei DES allows physicians to reach and treat complex anatomies both with radial and femoral access with confidence based on the results of comprehensive clinical program of Ultimaster DES.

MARKET RESTRAINT

Frequent Product Recalls is one of the Major Elements Anticipated to Hamper the Market Growth

Despite rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease and introduction of novel and technologically advanced Drug Eluting Stent, there have been several product recalls by various key market players. Frequent product recalls by key market players is likely to hamper the growth of the DES market. For instance, in November 2017, Boston Scientific initiated a voluntary recall for its 150mm Eluvia drug eluting vascular stent, as well as its 180mm and 200mm Innova self-expanding stent system due to growing number of issues registered for partial stent deployment resulting into vessel trauma and prolongation of the implant procedure.

SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis

Peripheral Stenting is anticipated to grow at significant CAGR during the forecast period

Based on indication, the market is segmented into coronary stenting and peripheral stenting. The coronary stenting segment dominated the stenting segment in 2018. Growing prevalence of coronary artery diseases, combined with increasing preference for Drug Eluting Stent by healthcare providers globally, is projected to drive the growth of the segment. The peripheral stenting segment is likely to gain significant share and offer lucrative opportunities during the forecast period of 2019-2026. This is attributed to an increase in the demand for drug eluting vascular stents for the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases. The rising prevalence of peripheral vascular diseases is one of the factor anticipated to increase demand for DES hence propelling the growth of the segment.

By Drug Analysis

Sirolimus is anticipated to Aid Dominance of the Segment

In terms of drug, the market is segmented into Sirolimus, Paclitaxel, Zotarolimus, Everolimus, & Others. The sirolimus segment is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period due to high preference among end users. Few distinct qualities of the sirolimus coated stents include, limited or reduced late lumen loss and angiographic restenosis. Older generations of DES have been coated with sirolimus and paclitaxel, both these drugs showing clinical effectiveness in prevention of restenosis.
