The drug eluting stent market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The drug-eluting stent market has seen strong growth in recent years. It is expected to increase from $7.63 billion in 2024 to $8.29 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 8.6%.
The market’s growth is attributed to the need for better treatment options, supporting clinical evidence, regulatory approvals, healthcare economics, and evolving guidelines.
The drug eluting stent market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The drug-eluting stent market is expected to grow to $11.37 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 8.2%.
This growth is driven by an aging population, the expansion of medical indications, favorable healthcare policies, global market expansion, and patient-centered care. Trends include personalized medicine, minimally invasive techniques, emerging healthcare technologies, and next-generation drug formulations.
The increasing prevalence of coronary heart disease is expected to drive the growth of the drug-eluting stent market. Coronary heart disease (CHD) occurs when the coronary arteries become blocked or narrowed due to plaque buildup, leading to severe complications like heart attacks or chest pain. CHD is on the rise due to factors such as sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, aging populations, and increased awareness. Drug-eluting stents (DES) help by reopening narrowed arteries and releasing medication to prevent re-narrowing (restenosis). For example, in May 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the percentage of adults aged 18 and over with CHD increased from 4.6% in 2020 to 4.9% in 2022, which is expected to drive the drug-eluting stent market.

Companies in the drug-eluting stent market are focusing on enhancing delivery systems like the dual-layer balloon to improve patient outcomes. This system improves the accuracy of drug delivery and stent deployment, ensuring even drug distribution along the arterial wall. Medtronic Plc launched Onyx Frontier in August 2022, a new generation of drug-eluting coronary stents that builds on the performance and data of its predecessor, Resolute Onyx DES. Onyx Frontier DES offers advancements such as a dual-layer balloon, a smaller crossing profile, and better catheter flexibility, boosting deliverability by 16% compared to the earlier model, all while maintaining radial strength.
