The global gastrointestinal stents (GI stents) market size is expected to reach USD 472.5 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing burden of gastrointestinal diseases including biliary diseases, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer are anticipated to boost the usage of GI stents across the globe.
Individuals above 60 years of age form the key target population for these products, as they are at a high risk of developing gastrointestinal and stomach-related diseases. Thus, aging demographics of most of the economies around the globe is a prime factor driving the growth of the sector. Moreover, reimbursement coverage provided by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and various private payers is spurring the adoption of GI stents.
