Intracranial Stents Market Report by Type (Self-Expanding Stents, Balloon Expanding Stents, Stent-Assisted Coil Embolization), Application (Intracranial Stenosis, Brain Aneurysm), End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers), and Region 2025-2033

The global intracranial stents market size reached USD 473.4 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,185.6 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% during 2025-2033. The rising prevalence of various cerebrovascular disorders, rapidly growing geriatric population, and shifting preference among patients and healthcare providers towards non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Intracranial stents refer to small, tubular medical devices that are made from biocompatible materials such as nitinol or stainless steel, specifically designed for treating various cerebrovascular conditions in a less invasive way. They are characterized by improved compatibility with multiple imaging techniques, allowing precise navigation through blood vessels and are therefore deployed at the target site, with various sizes and configurations available to accommodate individual anatomical features. They are most commonly installed within narrowed or weakened blood vessels in the brain to provide structural support and restore blood flow. By maintaining vessel patency, they provide enhanced blood flow to the brain which helps in reducing the risk of stroke and other complications associated with restricted or damaged blood vessels. Intracranial stents find extensive applications in surgeries and procedures such as angioplasty or endovascular coiling, to treat various conditions including intracranial aneurysms or stenosis. Some of the advantages provided by intracranial stents include long-term support to blood vessels, shorter recovery times, and reduced hospital stays.

Intracranial Stents Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of various cerebrovascular disorders such as cerebral aneurysms and strokes. This can be attributed to the rapidly growing geriatric population that is more susceptible to developing these ailments. In line with this, continual technological advancements in intracranial stent production resulting in innovative and advanced products with improved flexibility, navigability, and radial strength are fueling the market. Moreover, an enhanced emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions is propelling the demand for effective treatment solutions, which in turn is resulting in a higher uptake of intracranial stents. Also, the shifting preference among patients and healthcare providers towards non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures with shorter recovery times is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor for the market. In addition to this, favorable reimbursement policies for intracranial stent procedures by government agencies and private insurance providers in several countries is creating a positive market outlook. The market is further fueled by various strategic collaborations, merger and acquisitions (M&As) and partnerships among key players to expand their market presence. Apart from this, numerous innovations in medical imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and angiography are impacting the market positively. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization, rising healthcare expenditure, upgradation of hospital infrastructure, particularly in developing countries and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
