Global Tissue Adhesives Market Overview

The Tissue Adhesives Market was valued at USD 2.64 billion in 2024. The Tissue Adhesives Market industry is projected to grow from USD 2.89 billion in 2025 to USD 6.89 billion by 2035, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.06% during the forecast period (2025-2035).

The increasing surgical procedures and technological advancements in tissue adhesive products and aging population across the globe are driving the growth of the Tissue Adhesives Market.

As per the Analyst at MRFR, the increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide is significantly boosting the growth of the Tissue Adhesives Market. According to the United Nations, 2023, as the global population grows and ages—1 in 6 people are now aged 65 or older, a figure projected to rise to 1 in 4 by 2050 demand for both elective and emergency surgeries continue to surge. According to the MRFR secondary analysis, over 360 million major surgical procedures were performed globally in 2023, driven by aging demographics and chronic disease prevalence. 

Moreover, 2024 Annals of Surgery meta-analysis highlighted that tissue adhesives are increasingly preferred by surgeons for wound closure due to their advantages over traditional sutures, including 30–50% faster application times and a 35% reduction in surgical site infections. Additionally, patients treated with tissue adhesives experience 20–25% shorter recovery periods, which is critical for improving post-operative outcomes.

Tissue Adhesives Market Opportunity

INCREASING DEMAND FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIODEGRADABLE ADHESIVES

The increasing demand for environmental and biodegradable adhesives is creating significant opportunities for the Tissue Adhesives Market, driven by growing concerns over sustainability and environmental impact. Consumers and healthcare providers are becoming more conscious of the ecological footprint of medical products, prompting a shift toward eco-friendly alternatives. Biodegradable tissue adhesives, made from natural polymers or bio-based materials, are gaining traction as they offer the benefit of minimizing environmental waste, especially in disposable medical products. 

These adhesives not only reduce the need for synthetic materials, which can be harmful to the environment, but they also degrade naturally over time, reducing long-term ecological impact. As the healthcare industry increasingly prioritizes green practices and regulatory bodies introduce stricter environmental guidelines, manufacturers are investing in the development of biodegradable adhesives that provide high performance without compromising patient safety or treatment efficacy. 

This shift toward sustainable products is creating new growth avenues within the tissue adhesives market, appealing to both environmentally conscious consumers and healthcare systems seeking eco-friendly solutions. The trend toward biodegradable tissue adhesives is expected to continue to expand further enhancing the market's growth prospects while aligning with broader sustainability goals in the healthcare sector.

Tissue Adhesives Market Segment Insights

Tissue Adhesives by Type Insights

Based on Type, this segment includes Synthetic & Semi-Synthetic Adhesives (Cyanoacrylates, Polyethylene Glycol, Gelatin-Formaldehyde, Others), Natural Adhesives (Fibrin, Collagen, Dextran, Chitosan, Others). The Synthetic & Semi-Synthetic Adhesives segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Natural Adhesives segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. This dominance is primarily due to their strong bonding properties, faster polymerization, and widespread use in various surgical procedures. 

Their versatility and proven performance in achieving hemostasis and wound closure have further reinforced their market position. However, the Natural Adhesives segment—which includes fibrin, collagen, dextran, and chitosan—is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for bio-compatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic solutions that reduce the risk of adverse reactions. Moreover, advancements in natural biomaterials and rising preference for minimally invasive procedures are fueling the adoption of natural adhesives, especially in delicate surgeries and regenerative medicine. This shift reflects growing emphasis on patient safety and improved healing outcomes.

Tissue Adhesives by Application Insights

Based on Application, this segment includes Surgery (Cardiovascular Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery), Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (Ophthalmic Surgery, Urological Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Others), Wound Care, Burn Treatment. The Surgery segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Wound Care segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. 

This is largely due to the high volume of surgical procedures worldwide and the critical role adhesives play in ensuring effective wound closure, reducing operative time, and minimizing infection risks. This growth is driven by the rising incidence of chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic injuries, particularly among aging and diabetic populations. Additionally, increasing demand for non-invasive and easy-to-apply adhesive products in outpatient settings is accelerating the adoption of surgical adhesives in wound care, reflecting a shift toward advanced and patient-friendly healing solutions.

Tissue Adhesives by End-User Insights

Based on End-User, this segment includes Hospitals and Specialty Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs), Research Laboratories & Institutes. The Hospitals and Specialty Clinics segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. Hospitals often handle complex and emergency cases, requiring reliable adhesive solutions for effective wound closure and hemostasis. 

This growth is fueled by the increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures, shorter recovery times, and cost-efficiency offered by ASCs. As healthcare systems globally emphasize outpatient care and patient convenience, the demand for quick and effective surgical adhesives in these centers is rising. Additionally, ASCs are rapidly adopting advanced technologies, further contributing to their market growth momentum.

Tissue Adhesives Regional Insights
