The medical device adhesive market size was estimated to be US$ 7.70 billion in 2021 and US$ XX million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 16.17 billion by 2031. It is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.7% till 2031. Increasing usage of medical device adhesive, technical advancement in medical device adhesive, and increasing adoption of eco-friendly and biocompatible solutions are likely to remain key medical device adhesive market trends.
Medical device adhesive is the specialized adhesive used to bond medical devices or components, such as wound dressing and bandages, catheters, guide wire, implantable medical devices, dental materials, and many others. The adhesive must meet specific requirements before selection, such as biocompatibility, stabilizability, high bonding strength, and resistance to water. Acrylic adhesive is one of the most common adhesives that play a crucial role in the medical device industry due to its properties of ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Driving factors include increasing usage of medical device adhesive and technological advancements in medical device adhesive. However, complications associated with these solutions are likely to hamper the growth of the market to a certain extent. The global medical device adhesive market is segmented by region into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. In North America, the U.S. holds a significant share of the medical device adhesive market. Innovations in the product line primarily drive the growth of the country's market. Countries in the region focus on the development of advanced technology-based products that assist in improving the quality of patient lives. In addition, the increasing number of startup companies is further expected to stimulate the growth of the medical adhesive and sealants market in North America. The Asia Pacific region is expected to account for the fastest growth in the medical device adhesive market. The increasing number of accidents, transplant procedures, and the growing number of companies focusing on the countries in Asia Pacific for their geographical expansion and other strategies are likely to fuel the growth of the market.
Ongoing worldwide research and development studies are gaining momentum in creating high-end medical solutions for combining a wide scale of medical devices in practical usage. Companies are investing in developing innovative instruments to secure good return on investment (ROI). Additionally, product approval by regulatory authorities confirms the reliability and credibility of the new-age medical device sealants and adhesives. Recently, various market companies have launched high-end and top-quality medical device adhesives. For instance, In November 2021, Dymax released a new line of light-curable adhesives for wearable medical devices. The new 2000-MW series adhesives are free of TPO and made without IBOA (a known skin irritant).
Minimally invasive procedures are the preferred methods that are being adopted over traditional open surgery methods, such as endoscopy surgeries, endoscopic diagnostic procedures, and robotic-assisted surgeries. The endoscopic surgical process is widely followed for heart, lung, stomach, and kidney-related operations. The post-procedure wounds are sealed with surgical sutures, surgical staplers, sealants, or relevant adhesive tapes. However, due to technological developments in wound closure methods, medical device adhesive is among the preferred products.
For instance, an inguinal hernia is among the most general conditions observed among men and women, with surgical procedures being the only possible treatment. The primary types of operational procedures are open surgery and laparoscopy. According to Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project data and the US Food and Drug Administration, At present, 611,000 ventral and 1 million inguinal hernia repairs was performed in the US in 2023. The wound/cut sealing operations for these procedures usually involve medical sealants, thereby offering a significant opportunity for market players during the projected period.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the medical device adhesive market analysis are resin type, and device type.
The geographic scope of the medical device adhesive market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America/South & Central America. North America dominates the medical device adhesive market, followed by Europe. The growth of this market is primarily driven by the market players that are holding the largest market share in the medical adhesives & sealants manufacturing industry, such as Dymax Corporation, 3M Company, Johnson & Johnson, and Baxter International Inc. for instance, Dymax Corporation launches Dymax MD® 1040-M, an autoclave-resistant adhesive for medical instruments and assembly. The adhesive is launched as a part of its MD® line of adhesives. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing medical device adhesive market globally. China, India, and Japan are three major contributors to the market's growth, driven by increasing per capita healthcare expenditure across the countries.
