1. Increasing prevalence of biliary disorders: The growing incidence of biliary disorders, such as gallstones and biliary strictures, is a significant driver of the biliary stents market. As the aging population continues to grow and the prevalence of obesity and related conditions rises, the demand for biliary stents is expected to increase.
2. Technological advancements in stent design: The development of advanced biliary stents, including self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) and drug-eluting stents, has expanded treatment options for patients with biliary obstructions. These technological advancements have not only improved the effectiveness of biliary stents but have also increased patient comfort and reduced the need for repeat procedures.
3. Rising preference for minimally invasive procedures: Biliary stenting procedures are increasingly preferred over traditional surgical interventions due to their minimally invasive nature, reduced recovery times, and lower overall healthcare costs. This preference for minimally invasive procedures is expected to drive the demand for biliary stents in the coming years.
4. Increasing healthcare expenditure and infrastructure development: The increasing healthcare expenditure in developing countries, coupled with the ongoing development of healthcare infrastructure, is expected to provide opportunities for market growth. Improved access to healthcare facilities and the availability of advanced biliary stenting procedures are expected to contribute to market expansion.

1. Complications associated with biliary stenting: Despite technological advancements, biliary stenting procedures can be associated with various complications, including stent migration, occlusion, and infection. These complications can hinder market growth by affecting patient outcomes and increasing the need for additional interventions.
2. Stringent regulatory requirements: The biliary stents market is subject to stringent regulatory requirements, including premarket approval and quality assurance standards. Meeting these requirements can be challenging for manufacturers, leading to delays in product launches and increased costs.
3. Limited reimbursement for biliary stenting procedures: Reimbursement policies for biliary stenting procedures vary across different regions, and in some cases, may not adequately cover the costs associated with stenting. This limited reimbursement can create financial barriers for patients and healthcare providers, thereby restricting market growth.
