The market for intracranial stents is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 10.2% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 798.7 Mn by 2027.

Intracranial stents are the devices that are used as a permanent implant to allow blood flow by opening the blocked arteries. Intracranial stent is used in a condition called intracranial stenosis where the blood vessels or blood clots get narrowed due to building up of fats, plaque, and other substances in the blood vessels. These were initially designed for use in heart and later the technological advancement made possible use of these stents in the brain and are placed in the blood vessel of the intracranial cavity to treat vascular abnormality. Intracranial stents help in strengthening the weakened artery by allowing smooth blood flow without causing the bulge.

Market Dynamics

The rising prevalence of intracranial disorders due to various factors such as genetic disorders and accidents is primarily accelerating the market value. The increasing government initiatives and growing awareness about the intracranial stents are propelling the market value. The high prevalence of stroke among the geriatric population across the globe and the integration of advanced software with existing products are gaining significant traction in the global intracranial stents market.

On the other side, the high treatment costs and lack of skilled professionals for performing the surgery are further projected to restrict the growth to an extent over the forecast timeframe from 2020 to 2027.
