The surgical sutures market size is projected to reach US$ 6.28 billion by 2031 from US$ 4.04 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.7% during 2023–2031. Growing technological advancements and product innovations in surgical sutures are likely to remain key trends in the market.
The rise in cardiovascular surgeries, gynecological surgeries, general surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries across the globe are driving the surgical sutures market growth. Furthermore, the rising support from the government in providing proper healthcare facilities and growing domestic medical tourism in developing nations leads to a rise in the number of surgeries, which in turn boosts the market growth. However, the development of alternative products for surgical sutures that are non-invasive can restrain the market growth.
Sutures are essential for wound closure and healing. A shift in suture development, like using barbed or knotless sutures to increase suitability, is expected to drive market growth. The market is driven by increasing population aging, persistent diseases, increasing healthcare expenditures, increasing healthcare responsiveness, and the promotion of various government reimbursement policies. On the other hand, increased competition among key players and strict regulations on suture materials may hamper market growth.
The aesthetic surgery industry has grown and evolved in many parts of the world to meet the increasing demands of cultural trends. Nearly 13 million people worldwide have undergone surgical plastic surgery, according to a new report from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) titled “Global Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic Procedures.” According to the Aesthetic Surgery Society, surgical procedures in the United States alone increased by 54% in 2021. Over the last four years, there has been a 33% increase in cosmetic surgery, with surgical procedures increasing by 18.5%. Furthermore, the South and Central American countries are well-known destinations for medical tourism owing to the low cost of surgeries and medical facilities in comparison to other North American country such as the US. Considering the above-mentioned factors owing to the increasing number of aesthetic surgeries the demand for surgical sutures will rise which is likely to propel market growth.
Surgical sutures are essential in wound care. Recent advances in sutures have expanded their applicability and effectiveness. The major advances in sutures are due to the development of materials based on their properties and capabilities for improving tissue convergence and wound closure. The biomedical application of sutures has been expanded due to advanced designs and materials. Emerging advances and trends in suture technology hold tremendous potential for clinical/surgical applications, including specialty procedures and wound care. The development of smart shape memory polymer (SMP) sutures can replace traditional sutures with self-tightening wound closures, reducing complexity for surgeons, especially in keyhole surgeries. Electronic sutures can monitor, detect, and activate typical biological responses in the body that would be efficient in improving the monitoring of local tissue health. Therefore, the technological development in the surgical sutures is expected to provide opportunities for the market in future.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the Surgical Sutures market analysis are product and application.
The geographic scope of the Surgical Sutures market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
North America has dominated the surgical sutures market. The surgical sutures market growth in North America is because of the growing number of market players that are focused on manufacturing surgical sutures due to the rising number of surgeries. The US held the largest market share in North America region. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke produce immense health burdens in the US leading to performing surgeries. The proliferating cases of the osteoarthritis and obesity in the US results in orthopedic surgeries. According to the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) it is estimated that ~3.48 Mn people would be requiring knee replacement by 2030. Therefore, the rise in the number of surgeries for cardiovascular, orthopaedics, and cosmetics leads to the need for surgical sutures, thus, driving the market growth.
