The global Plastic & Metal Biliary Stents market size is expected to reach $ 997 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Plastic & metal biliary stents are implantable medical devices designed to maintain bile duct patency and ensure effective bile drainage in patients with obstructive biliary conditions. Plastic stents provide a cost-effective option for short-term management of benign strictures, postoperative complications, or temporary obstructions, and are preferred when frequent stent replacement is anticipated. Metal stents, on the other hand, offer stronger radial support, larger luminal diameter, and longer patency, making them well-suited for long-term drainage, particularly in malignant biliary obstructions. Plastic & metal biliary stents play a vital role in restoring bile flow, alleviating jaundice, reducing the risk of bile duct infections, and improving overall clinical outcomes, supporting the minimally invasive management of biliary diseases.
In 2024, global sales of plastic & metal biliary stents reached 1,235,890 units, with an average selling price of US$498.0 per unit. The single-line production capacity for plastic biliary stents is approximately 50,000-80,000 units per year, with a gross margin of approximately 40%–60%. The single-line production capacity for metal biliary stents is approximately 8,000-10,000 units per year, with a gross margin of approximately 50%–75%. The plastic & metal biliary stents industry chain encompasses three main segments: raw materials, manufacturing, and clinical applications. The upstream primarily consists of suppliers of medical-grade polyurethane, polyethylene, PTFE, silicone, and other polymer materials, as well as metal materials such as nickel-titanium alloys and stainless steel. This includes key components such as laser cutting equipment, braiding equipment, injection molding machines, coating materials, guidewires, and delivery system components, along with aseptic packaging services. The midstream comprises biliary stent manufacturers, responsible for the extrusion molding and cutting of plastic stents, laser cutting or braiding of metal stents, and the entire production process, including coating, delivery catheter system design, assembly, sterilization, and final packaging. The downstream comprises hospitals and endoscopy centers. Products are mainly used in clinical procedures such as ERCP, EUS-guided drainage, or PTBD to treat malignant biliary obstruction, benign stenosis, and postoperative complications. Demand is driven by factors such as disease burden, hospital procurement mechanisms, and medical insurance policies, thus forming a complete plastic & metal biliary stents value chain.
The market for plastic & metal biliary stents is driven and constrained by multiple factors. On the demand side, growth is fueled by the increasing prevalence of bile duct obstruction, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and benign strictures, while the widespread adoption of minimally invasive procedures such as ERCP, EUS-guided drainage, and PTBD has increased the clinical utilization of stents. Technological advancements and product upgrades, including self-expanding metal stents and coated stents, have improved durability and clinical efficacy, stimulating demand for high-end products. Coverage under health insurance and centralized hospital procurement further support sales, and improvements in healthcare services in emerging markets expand market potential. On the risk side, biliary stents are implantable medical devices with stringent safety and long-term effectiveness requirements, making product defects potentially subject to recalls. Intense market competition, especially in the plastic stent segment, can compress profit margins. Strict regulatory approval, policy changes, the emergence of alternative clinical technologies, and fluctuations in the prices of nitinol and medical-grade polymers or disruptions in key equipment supply may adversely affect production and sales, creating a market environment characterized by both growth opportunities and inherent risks.
