Global Sutures Market Is Estimated To Propelled By Growing Adoption Of Minimally Invasive Surgeries
Sutures are medical devices used for closing wounds, connecting tissues, and maintaining edges of skin together during healing after surgical procedures. Absorbable and non-absorbable sutures are widely used in surgical interventions to hold tissue together for healing.
The global Sutures Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4601.84 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.2% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The rising preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is augmenting the sutures market growth. MIS causes less post-operative pain and scarring compared to open surgeries. They also enable faster recovery and lower risk of complications and hospital stay. As sutures are integral components used in MIS, their adoption is growing with the increased popularity of MIS. According to the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), over 8 million laparoscopic procedures are performed annually in the United States, reflecting the widespread acceptance of minimally invasive techniques. With technological advancements improving access to MIS in developing nations as well, the sutures demand is expected to be propelled over the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Sutures offer an efficient and cost-effective way of wound closure compared to other methods such as staples or glue. They enable precise apposition of wound edges for proper healing.
Weakness: Using sutures require special skills and training for placement. Removal of sutures often causes pain and discomfort to patients. Absorbable sutures may cause inflammation as they degrade in the body.
Opportunity: Rising number of surgical procedures worldwide owing to the growing geriatric population and chronic diseases presents an opportunity for the sutures market. Technological advancements are introducing novel suturing methods and new suture materials.
Threats: Presence of alternative wound closure methods such as tissue glue and staplers poses a threat to the dominance of sutures. High risk of surgical site infections associated with sutures also threatens their use.
