Ureteral Stents Market Summary
The global ureteral stents market size was valued at USD 687.6 million in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 722.4 million in 2026 to USD 1,108.3 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2026 to 2033. North America dominated the market, accounting for the largest revenue share of 34.6% in 2025.
The growth of the global ureteral stents industry is driven by the rising prevalence of kidney stone disease, ureteral obstruction, chronic kidney disease, and urological cancers, as well as the increasing adoption of minimally invasive endourological procedures such as ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy.
Technological advancements are playing a significant role in the market growth, with manufacturers focusing on improving patient comfort, extending indwelling time, and reducing complications such as encrustation, infection, and stent-related pain. Recent innovations include hydrophilic and antimicrobial coatings, advanced silicone and hybrid polymer materials, metallic stents for long-term ureteral obstruction, drug-eluting stents, and biodegradable stents that eliminate the need for secondary removal procedures. Digital technologies are also emerging, including electronic stent tracking systems to prevent forgotten stents and smart monitoring solutions for early detection of complications.
For instance, in April 2025, the U.S. FDA granted 510(k) clearance to Boston Scientific Corporation for updates to its Percuflex Ureteral Stent, Percuflex Plus Ureteral Stent, Polaris Ultra Ureteral Stent, Tria Firm Ureteral Stent, Tria Soft Ureteral Stent, and Contour Ureteral Stent portfolio, reflecting continued innovation in stent design and performance . Furthermore, in June 2026, the European Association of Urology (EAU) Endourology Section published a comprehensive review highlighting ongoing developments in advanced materials, coating technologies, drug-eluting systems, biodegradable stents, and ureteral stent technologies to reduce patient morbidity and improve long-term clinical outcomes. These continuous technological advancements are expected to support the sustained market growth over the forecast period.
