Global Surgical Sutures Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the global surgical sutures market is projected to be worth USD 5.64 billion by 2029 from USD 4.41 billion in 2024and is growing at a CAGR of 5.04% from 2024 to 2029.

Surgical sutures are a standard medical device for wound closure and stitching up surgical openings. These devices are used in the form of a needle and different threads used to close and let the wounds heal. Surgical sutures come in two basic types absorbable and non-absorbable. The absorbable type does not need to be removed, while the doctor removes the non-absorbable sutures after the healing process. the threads of the sutures are made of either synthetic or natural material and are sterilized before use. The threads can be single-stranded or can have a braided multiple-strand structure to add more stability. These surgical sutures are an essential part of the healing process for patients. Therefore, it is essential to correctly choose the suitable suture leading to demand in the market.

Global Surgical Sutures Market Drivers:

The growing number of surgeries being performed worldwide is one of the major factors propelling the surgical sutures market growth. For instance, according to statistics, nearly 234.2 million major surgeries are performed yearly. Additionally, the growing complications after surgery lead to demand for proper surgical sutures. According to the WHO stats, up to 25% of the patients who undergo surgery experience complications after it. Furthermore, the growing cases of chronic illnesses leading to people requiring surgeries support the market's growth. For example, according to the WHO reports, around 41 million people die yearly due to chronic noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory disorders. Additionally, the growing number of organ transplantation surgeries due to the failure of body parts in patients supports the growing surgery rates.

The growing geriatric populations prone to injuries and diseases support the market growth. The rising cases of traffic accidents and injuries also support the need for the market. According to WHO stats, traffic accidents leave around 20 to 50 million people with non-fatal injuries yearly. Additionally, the growing development in the production of sutures by industries to create new and more efficient products and make the recovery process faster supports the market's growth. For example, Dolphin sutures, the Indian company, displayed its latest innovative sutures at the Medica 2022 event in Germany. The company showcased new products like Barbed sutures, PTFE & UHMWPE Sutures, Antibacterial suture Range, etc.

In addition, the growing adoption of technological developments to manufacture innovative surgical advancements, increasing investments, and a rising number of government initiatives promote the surgical sutures market growth. Furthermore, the growing clinical trials to gouge the efficiency of different types of sutures also support the market growth. For example, in 2019, the US government conducted a clinical trial to test the efficiency of two types of absorbable sutures in thyroid incision surgeries.

Global Surgical Sutures Market Restraints:

The availability of alternative devices hinders the global surgical sutures market growth. However, there has been a rise in surgical staplers compared to sutures, which could threaten the surgical suture market's development. The use of surgical staplers is due to many advantages, such as low cost, effectiveness, reliability, speed, and the ability to reduce infection; thus, doctors favor staplers over surgery sutures. Aside from that, other available pharmaceuticals decrease the probability of surgery, reducing the need for surgical sutures.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global surgical sutures market:

Following the spread of COVID-19, the healthcare sector has seen numerous ups and downs in different markets. The coronavirus pandemic is also having an impact on the surgical suture market. The device sector, which contributes 60–75 %, is shrinking due to the lockout. The availability of supplies has been stagnant due to travel bans, which affect the surgical practice and, as a result, the surgical suture industry's impact. Many surgeries are being canceled due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Many departments and their personnel focus on covid – 19 patients; because of staff shortages, surgeries are delayed or canceled in certain situations. Besides, hospitals devote money and tools to contaminated patients, which affects surgeries.

Furthermore, governments worldwide have imposed a lockout, decreasing hospital visits and elective surgeries. As a result, about 28,000,000 operations were canceled or delayed globally in the 12 weeks of COVID-19. Furthermore, the pandemic disrupted patients' economic standing by causing job loss and inflation. As a result, many patients disregard the procedures. Henceforth, covid - 19 disrupted the clinics and affected everybody. As the number of surgeries decreased, so did the demand for surgical sutures, slowing the development of the surgical sutures industry. As a result, the surgical sutures market experienced a market downfall during the first quarter of 2020. In addition, the surgical sutures market lost sales as the flight ban disrupted the supply chain.
