[186 Pages Report] The Plastic Biliary Stents Market size was estimated at USD 165.15 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 172.95 million in 2024, at a CAGR 4.80% to reach USD 229.35 million by 2030.

Plastic biliary stents are slender, tubular devices made from non-absorbable synthetic materials, such as polyethylene or polyurethane, designed for the temporary drainage and patency of bile ducts obstructed by conditions, including tumors, stones, strictures, or after certain surgeries. The use of plastic biliary stents is expanding due to several factors, which include their lower cost compared to metal stents, ease of insertion, and removal during endoscopic procedures. Technological advances that improve stent design and patient comfort have also contributed to their widespread adoption. The growing prevalence of gallstone diseases, biliary cancers, and the global aging population experiencing these conditions fuel the need for biliary stenting. However, their predilection for occlusion over time due to bacterial biofilm formation and sludge accumulation can impede their utility. Continual innovations in stent materials and coatings are underway to reduce bacterial adherence and extend the functional life of the stent. The integration of advanced imaging and delivery systems for precision placement is expected to improve procedural success rates. Tailoring stent design to individual patient anatomy through custom solutions and exploring novel materials are potential areas for researchers in the biliary stent space.
