Market Summary
Surgical sutures, sometimes known as stitches, are made with a needle and a length of thread attached. Skin ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, paediatric heart surgery, and diabetic ulcers are all treated using surgical sutures. These sutures generate less irritation and allow the thread to pass through the tissue more easily.
The Global Surgical Sutures market was valued at USD 4.4 billion in 2021 and it is predicted to reach USD 6.5 billion by 2030, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8 % from 2022 to 2030.Diseases like cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, orthopaedic ailments, mental illness, and heart disease are growing more widespread as people's lifestyles change. These disorders can sometimes be cured with surgery, which enhances the growth of surgical sutures for therapy. The rising popularity of cosmetic surgeries, the rising number of accidents, rising healthcare costs, and the development of technologically superior sutures such as Antibacterial Triclosan-Coated Polyglactin 910 suture for use over conventional sutures are the main drivers of the global surgical sutures market. According to the World Health Organization, more than 20 to 50 million people suffer non-fatal injuries that leave them disabled, while more than 1.3 million people have their lives cut short as a result of traffic accidents. The global surgical rate per 100,000 persons was 4,469 operations per year.
Years Considered for the study:

Surgical Sutures Market SEGMENT OUTLOOK:
By Product Type:
The absorbable sector held the greatest revenue share of nearly 55 % in 2021 because of its ability to provide temporary support to wounds while they heal and can endure normal stress, Furthermore, demand for absorbable sutures is steadily increasing, owing to their capacity to disintegrate naturally. As a result, leading market players are spending on research and development, which is projected to assist the absorbable sector to grow in the future.
Due to their incapacity to deteriorate or disintegrate, non-absorbable sutures had a lower market share than absorbable sutures. These sutures are commonly utilised in demanding interior environments where absorbable sutures are unable to meet the needs. These sutures are mostly used to close wounds that take a long time to heal or for slow-healing tissues.
By Application Outlook:
In 2021, the other category dominated the surgical suture market. In 2021, cardiovascular surgery had the second-largest revenue share. This is due to the high prevalence of cardiac disorders, the availability of enough experts in the field, favourable reimbursement conditions, and technological advancements in diagnostics. This is resulting in a large increase in the number of cardiac procedures, which is driving up demand for surgical sutures over the forecast period.
Also, orthopaedic surgery was the third-largest application segment, and it is predicted to grow at a healthy rate during the forecast period. This is due to an increase in the frequency of road accidents, which is leading to an increase in orthopaedic injuries. According to the US Department of Transportation, in the first half of 2021, an expected 20,160 persons died in motor vehicle accidents.
By Regional Outlook:
Due to the presence of local and key players, high suture costs compared to other regions, supportive reimbursement scenario, rising government programmes, and developed healthcare infrastructure, the North American region dominated the surgical sutures market in 2021 with a revenue share of over 40%. Technological developments and a high level of domestic wealth are also important factors in North America's huge revenue share.
During the projected period, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate. This is due to an increase in government investment in healthcare infrastructure to fulfil the region's unmet needs, as well as a growing older population that is more prone to need surgery. China, India, and Japan are the Asia Pacific region's largest markets. Another key reason propelling the market to exponential growth in this area is the increase in medical tourism in countries like India, Singapore, and Malaysia.
