尿管ステント市場の世界市場規模は、2023年に3億7,490万米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、市場は2032年までに6億650万米ドルに達し、2024年から2032年の間に5.3%の成長率(CAGR)を示すと予測しています。泌尿器疾患の有病率の増加、ステント技術における新たな技術進歩、尿管ステントの採用を奨励する有利な政府政策の実施は、市場成長の主な要因の一部です。
尿管ステントは、シリコーンやポリウレタンなどの医療グレードの材料で作られた小型の柔軟なチューブで、泌尿器科でさまざまな尿路疾患の管理に使用されます。腎臓と膀胱をつなぐ管である尿管に挿入します。閉塞の緩和、治癒の促進、腎臓の排出など、さまざまな目的に使用されます。腎結石、腫瘍、その他の閉塞による尿管の閉塞を緩和します。尿管の開通を維持し、尿が腎臓から膀胱へ自由に流れるようにすることで、合併症を予防します。また、一時的なもので、定期的なモニタリングと除去が必要であり、泌尿器系のケアに不可欠で、泌尿器系の健康と機能性を確保します。
この市場は、主に泌尿器科の技術的進歩によって牽引されています。さらに、より効果的で低侵襲な尿管ステントデバイスの市場開拓が市場成長に影響を与えています。また、最新のステントは生体適合性が改善され、包埋が減少し、患者の快適性が向上しています。その結果、ヘルスケア専門家はこれらの先進的なステントを推奨し、利用する傾向が強まり、市場成長の原動力となっています。さらに、腎結石、尿路感染症(UTI)、尿管狭窄などの泌尿器科疾患の増加も、製品採用を加速させています。これらの疾患では、治療の一環として尿管ステントの挿入が必要となることが多いです。このほか、泌尿器系の問題にかかりやすい老年人口の増加が市場の成長に寄与しています。これとともに、泌尿器科疾患とその治療オプションに関する意識の高まりが早期診断と早期介入につながり、患者が医療アドバイスと治療を求めることを可能にし、市場成長を後押ししています。
泌尿器科疾患の有病率の増加
泌尿器系疾患の増加により、市場は大きな影響を受けています。また、腎結石の増加は、腎臓または尿路に固形物が形成され、尿管を閉塞することで特徴付けられる一般的な泌尿器疾患であり、激しい痛みと潜在的な腎臓障害の原因となります。また、このような症例において、閉塞を緩和し尿の流れを促進する尿管ステントの使用が増加しており、より侵襲的な処置を回避しながら患者に救済を提供していることが、市場の成長を増大させています。さらに、高齢者人口の増加により、尿路感染症、膀胱問題、前立腺肥大症(BPH)などの泌尿器科疾患にかかりやすくなっています。これらの疾患は尿管閉塞や合併症につながる可能性があり、診断や治療の目的でステントを使用する必要があります。さらに、泌尿器科疾患に対する認識が向上し、診断技術が進歩したことで、早期発見・早期介入が可能になり、製品採用が加速しています。
ステントにおける新たな技術的進歩
尿管ステントの有効性を改善し、患者の快適性と転帰を向上させる重要な進歩や技術革新が市場を牽引しています。さらに、従来のステントは通常、非生分解性材料から製造されており、除去のために再手術が必要でした。そのため、生分解性ステントが採用されるようになり、時間の経過とともに体内で徐々に溶解するため、除去処置の必要性がなくなり、患者の不快感も軽減されるようになった。さらに、薬剤溶出技術を取り入れることで、尿管内にゆっくりと放出される薬剤でコーティングされたステントは、炎症や感染症などの合併症の予防に役立ち、副作用を最小限に抑え、ステントの治療効果を高める。これに加えて、3次元(3D)プリンティング技術の統合はステントの設計を一変させ、患者固有の解剖学的構造に合わせたカスタムメイドのステントを作ることを可能にします。
有利な政府政策の実施
尿管ステントの採用を奨励する有利な政府政策の実施は、市場の成長に影響を与えています。これらの政策は、ヘルスケアへのアクセス、患者の転帰、費用対効果を改善しています。さらに、政府の取り組みには、啓発キャンペーンや医療費助成プログラムなどがあり、ステントを患者に利用しやすくすることで、泌尿器科疾患の早期診断と治療が可能になり、市場成長に影響を与えています。さらに、医療機器分野の研究開発(R&D)に対して財政的インセンティブや助成金を提供する有利な政策もあり、これも成長を促す大きな要因となっています。また、企業はより効果的で、快適で、低侵襲な先進ステントの開発に投資しており、これが市場の成長を促進しています。これに加えて、政府の取り組みが新規参入を促し、患者のニーズや嗜好に応じた数多くのステント選択肢を生み出し、市場の成長を加速させています。
