Market Overview

The lung stent market refers to buyers and sellers of lung stents, which are small mesh tubes that are inserted into the lung airways of the lungs by a minor procedure known as bronchoscopy. A lung stent is a hollow tube that is placed in the airways to help breathe and open a narrowed area. It may be placed in either the bronchi or trachea, depending on the narrowing area. The stent can be used to treat narrowed airways in the lungs because of many procedures or conditions, including diseases or infections that may cause congenital conditions, swelling, or other problems that press on the lungs.

Lung Stent Market Growth Factors

  • The benefits of lung stents include that they can help treat the narrowed arteries, reduce symptoms, and prevent future health problems that may result from low blood flow.
  • In lung disorders, stents can help in the treatment of narrowed airways in the lungs, which helps the growth of the lung stent market.
  • Doctors prefer to use stents when the bronchi in the lungs are at risk of collapse.
  • Stents are used to treat narrowed airways in the lungs because of many procedures or conditions, including diseases or infections that can cause congenital conditions, swelling, or any other problems in the body that may press on the lungs.

How is AI Revolutionizing the Lung Stent?

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the lung stent plays a significant role in the growth of the lung stent market. The benefits of AI-based lung stents include improved diagnosis and planning; AI-based lung stents help to analyze imaging data to identify accurate locations and better extent of airway obstructions. AI can process a high amount of patient data to modify treatments. AI-based tools can improve stent placement accuracy. AI can predict complications by analyzing patient data and historical outcomes.

  • In October 2023, in India, an AI-driven coronary imaging software, named ‘Ultreon 1.0’ was launched by Abbott. This software merged OTC (optical coherence tomography) with AI (artificial intelligence), which provides physicians with a view of blockages and blood flow in coronary arteries. This software can measure vessel diameter, detect the strength of calcium-based blockages, and differentiate between non-calcified and calcified blockages.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Increasing prevalence of lung cancer

The increasing prevalence of lung cancer demands treatments, which contribute to the growth of the lung stent market. The causes of lung cancer include cigarette smoking; there are chances of getting lung cancer for non-smokers, also. Cigarette smoke enters the lung, which causes lung tissue damage. It also includes radiation therapy, a family history of lung cancer, asbestos, and other heavy metals like selenium, cadmium, etc., which can also increase the risks. Air pollution and radon gas may also cause lung cancer, which needs lung stents for the treatment of disorders.

  • According to the Global Cancer Observatory, lung cancer cases and deaths worldwide in 2022. Data covers 185 countries and 36 cancers.
  • Lung cancer was the most commonly occurring cancer globally, with 2.5 million cases accounting for 12.4% of the total new cases. Female breast cancer (2.3 million cases, 11.6%), colorectal cancer (1.9 million cases, 9.6%), prostate cancer (1.5 million cases, 7.3%), and stomach cancer (970000 cases, 4.9%).
  • Lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer death (1.8 million deaths, 18.7% of total cancer deaths), colorectal cancers (900000 deaths, 9.3%), liver cancer (760000 deaths, 7.8%), breast cancer (670000 deaths, 6.9%), and stomach cancer (660000 deaths, 6.8%).

Restraint

Presence of alternative treatments

The presence of alternative treatments and other disadvantages like strict regulations, blood vessels may collapse, side effects of medicated coatings on the lung stents, formation of scar tissue around the lung stents, procedure-related issues like damage to blood vessels on the lung stent blood clot formation, allergic reactions due to lung stent material, etc. can hamper the lung stent market growth. Problems with living with a stent include lung infection, which may possibly be a risk from an airway stent; mucus may form in the stent and block it.

Opportunity

Development of resorbable and biodegradable stents

The development of resorbable and biodegradable stents is an opportunity for the growth of the lung stent market. The benefits of biodegradable stents include no permanent metal, no more lifelong dedication to a metal stent, the fact that it allows the artery to regain its ability to dilate and constrict naturally, preservation options, etc. Most biodegradable or resorbable stents are made of a naturally dissolvable material, polylactic acid, which is used in medical implants to dissolve sutures.
