Market Dynamics
Introduction
Biodegradable stents are innovative medical devices designed to provide temporary support to narrowed or blocked blood vessels, allowing them to remain open during the healing process. Unlike traditional metal stents, biodegradable stents are made from materials such as polylactic acid or magnesium alloys that gradually dissolve or are absorbed by the body over time. This eliminates the long-term risks associated with permanent implants, such as inflammation or restenosis. Primarily used in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal procedures, these stents offer a promising solution for improving patient outcomes, reducing complications, and enhancing the natural recovery process in minimally invasive medical interventions.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak moderately affected the growth of the biodegradable stents market. With the surge in COVID-19 cases, healthcare professionals across geographies were focusing on treating corona-infected patients and other essential healthcare services. Additionally, the number of people visiting hospitals for non-emergency medical issues declined due to fear of infection.
Market Dynamics
The rise in the geriatric population, surge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure, growing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, and an increase in adaptation of bioabsorbable stents by patients and physicians are some of the major factors boosting the market growth. Moreover, strong growth in demand for minimally invasive procedures, advancement in technology in stents, and rise in the initiative taken by the government for the development & production of bioabsorbable stents further augment the industry growth.

By Biomaterial Type
"Polymeric stents segment accounted for a substantial market share in 2021"
Based on biomaterial, the market has been classified into polymeric stents and metallic stents. The polymeric stents segment accounted for a substantial market share in 2021. This is mainly ascribed to an increase in the usage of polymeric stents by several physicians, companies, and patients due to less inflammatory response, and low risk of associated complications. Also, research is still conducted on polymeric stent materials for the development of the novel bioabsorbable stents, which possess a low risk for restenosis and late-stent thrombosis, which further bolsters the segment growth.
Regional Analysis
"North America accounted for the largest share in 2021 and is projected to continue its dominance during the review period"
The market in North America accounted for the largest share in 2021 and is projected to continue its dominance during the review period. This is mainly attributed to the surge in prevalence of cardiovascular disease, rise in the number of approval for novel bioabsorbable stents, the large presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure, as well as presence of major market participants. In addition, the surge in R&D activities in the healthcare sector and enhancement of healthcare infrastructure, and presence of major players operating in the region, which further proliferates the regional growth.
