Absorbable Surgical Sutures Market Size

ID: MRFR//4902-HCR | 100 Pages | Author: Kinjoll Dey| April 2024

Absorbable surgical stitch business is largely impacted by the global increase in medical treatment volumes. The increasing prevalence of diverse clinical disorders and advancements in surgical techniques necessitate the use of absorbable sutures in various surgical activities. The industry is fundamentally impacted by the growing number of chronic illnesses that need for surgical approaches. Diseases such as cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders increase the need for absorbable sutures for tissue estimation and wound closure, making them a more significant necessity for activities.
The market's components are influenced by the growing trend toward minimally invasive surgical medications. Absorbable sutures become standard for inner tissue closure in minimally intrusive activities because they satisfy patient-centered and astute medical care practices by providing successful injury closure without necessitating stitch expulsion. One important factor driving the market for absorbable surgical sutures is the aging population. As the population ages, absorbable sutures are used more frequently because to the increasing prevalence of age-related clinical issues that call for surgical procedures.
Patients' and healthcare providers' growing knowledge of the advantages of absorbable sutures affects the market. Since specialists are becoming more aware of absorbable sutures' benefits for particular applications, such as inner tissue conclusion, more and more clinical strengths are using them. The market need for absorbable surgical sutures is largely driven by chronic injuries. Terrible wounds, diabetic ulcers, and pressure bruising are a few conditions that almost always call for surgical intervention. As a result, sutures are frequently anticipated to promote healing and an efficient end to the damage.
One obvious trend is the move toward short-term surgical contemplation settings and mobility. Absorbable sutures are essential for promoting effective, stitch-free twisted recovery in patients who are unlikely to return for stitch evacuation, especially as more medications are administered outside of standard emergency clinic settings. Constant product advancements, such the addition of antibacterial qualities, encourage market expansion. Absorbable sutures with antibacterial properties improve patient welfare and reduce postoperative problems by preventing surgical site infections. Constant research into the long-term ingestibility of absorbable sutures is one factor influencing the industry. According to the unique requirements of each surgical technique and patient, specialists can select sutures thanks to advancements that take into account supported assistance with tissue healing and reconstruction processes.

Absorbable Surgical Sutures Market Scenario


The absorbable surgical sutures market is expected to register USD 3.75 Billion at a CAGR 4.50% during the forecast period (2023 to 2030).


Surgical sutures are used by doctors to close the wounds or an opening of a damaged tissue. An absorbable suture crumbles in the body through enzymatic or hydrolysis reactions taking place in the human body.  The absorbable sutures were formerly made from sheep’s intestine. Absorbable sutures are used for sewing of deep tissues which breaks down in the body within ten days to four weeks depending on the suture composition.


The substantial growth in the frequency of health conditions related to skin, soft tissues, and peripheral vascular surgery are the key factors that boost the growth of this market. The increase in aged population and the rising frequency of musculoskeletal diseases are also anticipated to drive the global market over the forecast period. Factors such as less rate of wound infection have made absorbable sutures extremely common among consumers which are reflecting greatly on their demand.


The increasing demand for advanced wound closure materials and lack of product innovations in surgical sutures act as major barriers for this market.
