The global surgical sutures market size is expected to reach USD 8.32 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Surgical Sutures Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Type (Absorbable, Non-absorbable), By Filament (Monofilament, Multifilament), By Application, By Region - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The surgical sutures market encompasses a wide array of medical devices used to close incisions, repair tissues, and ligate blood vessels following surgical procedures or injuries. These "stitches" are vital for effective wound healing and come in various forms, differing in material, size, and needle type. The selection of a specific suture depends on the surgical application, the type of tissue involved, and the desired healing outcome, with options ranging from those that dissolve naturally in the body to those that provide permanent support.
The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the global increase in the number of surgical procedures, spurred by an aging population and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases that often necessitate surgical interventions. Alongside this, continuous advancements in suture technology, such as the development of antimicrobial-coated sutures to reduce infection risk and barbed sutures that simplify knot tying, are enhancing surgical outcomes and expanding the applications for sutures. This ongoing innovation and the persistent demand for effective wound closure solutions are key contributors to the market's positive outlook.
Surgical Sutures Market Report Highlights
By type, the absorbable segment held a larger share of the surgical sutures market in 2024. These sutures are widely preferred because they naturally dissolve in the body over time, which means patients do not need a second procedure for removal and often experience reduced tissue reaction, promoting better healing.
By filament, the multifilament segment held a larger share in 2024. These sutures, made of multiple strands braided or twisted together, offer superior tensile strength and excellent knot security, which are crucial for strong and reliable wound closure in a broad range of surgical procedures.
By application, the cardiac surgery segment held the largest share in 2024. The high global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the complex nature of associated surgical procedures, such as bypass and valve repairs, necessitate a significant volume of specialized sutures for precise and secure wound closure, driving demand in this area.
By region, North America accounted for the largest share of the global surgical sutures market in 2024. This dominance is due to the region's highly developed healthcare infrastructure, substantial healthcare spending, a high volume of surgical procedures driven by an aging population and chronic diseases, and early adoption of advanced surgical technologies. Asia Pacific is rapidly emerging as a key growth region in the market, driven by improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing healthcare expenditure, and a large patient pool across countries such as China and India.
A few key players in the market include Ethicon (a Johnson & Johnson company), Medtronic PLC, B. Braun SE, Advanced Medical Solutions Group PLC, Teleflex Incorporated, Peters Surgical, Corza Medical, DemeTECH Corporation, Smith & Nephew PLC, CONMED Corporation, Dolphin Sutures, and Lotus Surgicals.
