Global Ureteral Stents Market Statistics: USD 619.2 Million Value by 2033

Summary:

• The global ureteral stents market size reached USD 395.5 Million in 2024.
• The market is expected to reach USD 619.2 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.06% during 2025-2033.
• Asia Pacific leads the market, accounting for the largest ureteral stents market share.
• Double J-stents exhibit a clear dominance in the market due to their widespread use and efficacy in treating ureteral obstructions and facilitating urine flow.
• Kidney stones hold the biggest market share attributed to the increasing prevalence of kidney stones, which necessitate frequent use of ureteral stents for treatment and management.
• Innovations, such as biodegradable stents, drug-eluting stents, and those with anti-reflux properties, are enhancing patient outcomes and comfort.
• The increasing prevalence of urological disorders, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and strictures, among the masses is propelling the market growth.

Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Technological Advancements in Ureteral Stent Design:

Advancements in types of stents including biodegradable stents, drug eluting stents and stents with anti reflux characteristics – are improving the quality of life for patients. Biodegradable stents do not require a second intervention to have the stent withdrawn, which decreases the overall work for clinicians and is less convenient for the patient. These new stents discharge medicine that avoids problems such as infections and encrustations, problems related to stents in general. Moreover, the development of stents which do not allow reflux of urine can also improve comfort in addition to the non obstructive nature of these devices. These development enable ureteral stents to be more efficient, safer and easier to apply in the medical practice.

• Rising Incidence of Urological Disorders:

Growth in the proportion of kidney stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and strictures amongst masses are the factors that drive the market in urology equipment locally and internationally. Diseases like nephrolithiasis or, stones in the kidneys require that stents be placed within the ureter since the passage of the stones can obstruct the generation of the urine. These diseases are on the rise due to factors such as; increased cases of obesity, poor diet and increased life expectancy. An increasing frequency of patient presentation with these diseases is driving the increase in the use of ureteral stents as this technology is an essential element of obstructive uropathy treatment.

• Rising Awareness and Screening Programs:

As a result, various awareness programs supported by different ministries of health, as well as various healthcare organizations, underline the significance of timely diagnosis and suitable urological conditions’ control. Screening programmes, especially in areas that can be easily targeted, are used in detecting diseases such as kidney stones, strictures and tumours at relatively early stages when it would be easier to treat them. Urinary obstructions require the insertion of the ureteral stent which is needed in early diagnosis of renal conditions. The general health for urology is improving and therefore people are presenting early for treatment when they have symptoms such as those related to ureteral stents.
