Surgical Sutures Market By Product (Automated Suturing Device (Disposable, and Reuse) and Suture Thread (Natural, Nylon, Prolene, Stainless Steel, and Silk)), By Application (Cardiac, Gynae, Ophthalmic, and Orthopaedic), By End User (Hospital and Clinic), and By Region - Trends, Analysis, and Forecast till 2034

Surgical Sutures  Market was valued at USD 4.9 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.10% to reach USD 8.9 Billion by 2034.

Surgical Sutures are referred to as the equipment that is used during surgeries for closing an open wound. There are various sutures available, depending on the wound. The constantly increasing technological advancements in suture designs and features are anticipated to increase the growth of the target market.

The increasing technological advancements and developments in the domain of surgical sutures is the key factor for the growth of the target market.  For instance, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sutures, a non-resorbable suture with high biocompatibility, are typically soft and smooth and aid in preventing microdamage and bacterial colonization in the deep layers of a wound; surgical knots made with PTFE sutures are durable and do not come undone easily. The rising development of these cutting-edge developments is a major contribution to the growth of the Surgical Sutures Market.

Increasing Aging Population to fuel the target market growth

The rise in the geriatric population is one of the key factors leading to the target market growth. Factors like declining fertility rate, increasing in longevity are the reasons why there has been an increase in the geriatric population. Increasing obesity among the old age people is also a critical factor which makes them suffer from serious chronic health disorders.  Majority of these diseases require a surgery to be rectified, which in turn leads to the growth of the Surgical Sutures Market.

For instance, in October 2022, according to WHO (World Health Organization) it was reported that, in the year 2020, the number of people aged around 60 years and older outnumbered the number of children who were aged under 5 years. Furthermore, the years between 2015 and 2050 will experience a twice increase in the population aged over 60 years from 12% to 22%.

Rising emergence of Chronic Diseases to boost the target market growth

The rising number of trauma cases and the number of individuals with chronic conditions is one of the key factors boosting the target market growth. The increase in the instances of orthopedic, alimentary, ophthalmic, and other situations has further been rising the demand for surgical sutures, eventually leading to the growth of the Surgical Sutures Market.

For instance, in April 2017, according to Zee Media Bureau, it was reported that 33% Indians, everyone almost over 30 years old were suffering from chronic diseases.

Restrains:

The rising demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures along with the use of other alternate wound care sources is the key factor restraining the growth of the target market.

For instance, in April 2022, according to a survey conducted by the Duke University School of Medicine, it was reported that the patients suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) preferred a minimally invasive procedure over an open brain surgery.
