Growing awareness regarding several advantages offered by technologically advanced gastrointestinal stents for a variety of GI procedures associated with ageing population is anticipated to drive the market progress. The gastrointestinal stents industry is witnessing a significant growth in the recent years owing to factors such as ageing population, technological advancements, enhanced patient outcome, among others.
 

Gastrointestinal disorders like colorectal cancer, esophageal strictures, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) continue to affect a significant portion of the population, driving the demand for stent placement as a treatment option. Advances in medical technology have led to the development of sophisticated stent designs and materials, improving their effectiveness, safety, and compatibility with patients. Increasing awareness of gastrointestinal disorders and improved early detection methods have led to earlier intervention and a higher demand for stenting procedures. The gastrointestinal stents industry plays a vital role in providing therapeutic solutions for patients with various gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, the gastrointestinal stents industry's growth is driven by factors like an aging population, the prevalence of GI diseases, technological advancements, and a shift towards minimally invasive procedures.
 

Gastrointestinal stent is a medical device intended to provide structural support and maintain the patency of the gastrointestinal tract including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. These stents are used to treat various conditions that can lead to narrowing or blockages within the digestive system.
 

However, complications associated with gastrointestinal procedures is anticipated to restrict the gastrointestinal stents market expansion. Gastrointestinal procedures, including the placement of stents, can carry risks and potential complications. Risk associated with stent migration from its intended position after placement can lead to ineffective treatment. In some cases, the tissue around the stent may grow excessively, causing narrowing or even blockage of the stent. Moreover, complications can raise patient safety concerns, leading to decreased patient and physician confidence in using stents as a treatment option. This may lead to adoption of alternative treatment options leading to reduced usage of stents overall. Patients may become more reluctant to undergo stent placement thereby leading decreased patient demand for stent interventions.
