North America Hernia Repair Devices (Permanent and Absorbable Hernia Fixation) Market - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Analysis and Insights

Hernia repair surgery is one of the most common surgeries to be performed. There are mainly two main types of surgeries open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, the surgeon makes a cut in the groin to view and repair the hernia. After repairing the hernia, the surgeon uses stitches alone or stitches and a piece of mesh to close the abdominal wall. The mesh is designed to strengthen the weak area of the abdominal wall where the hernia occurred. Laparoscopic hernia repair was introduced in the early nineties as a minimally invasive alternative to the classic Lichtenstein repair (Open Surgery). In this, the surgeon makes several small cuts in the lower abdomen and inserts special tools to view and repair the hernia. The surgeon typically uses a piece of mesh to close and strengthen the abdominal wall.

The demand for hernia repair is increasing, for which manufacturers are involved in the new product launches, promotions, awards, certification, and event participation in the market. These decisions are ultimately enhancing the growth of the market.

Market Definition

Hernia is a physiological problem where any tissue or organ pierces through a weakness or opening in the cavity wall where it usually resides. A very common example is the intestine coming out through the weak peritoneum of the abdominal wall, which is detected as a pouch under the skin. The cause of hernia is associated with the weak cavity wall tissue, which might be influenced by several risk factors, including obesity, intra-abdominal pressure, and previous abdominal surgeries.

Hernia may be of different types depending on its location in the human body. It can appear in an inguinal cavity, umbilicus, femoral canal, and epigastrium. Hernia usually makes a visible bulge on the skin, inducing pain and complications in patients. Primarily, the grown hernia induces discomfort and sometimes severe pain in the area. This pain intensifies during bowel movements, urination, or heavy physical labor. The protruded intestine may also be strangulated and hamper blood circulation if the protruded tissue gets swelled. Later on, this may lead to infection, necrosis, and life-threatening complications.

North America Hernia Repair Devices (Permanent and Absorbable Hernia Fixation) Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing incidence of hernia

The condition of hernia requires treatment approaches, including medication and surgery. A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. The demand for hernia repair devices is high due to the increased prevalence of hernia types such as inguinal hernia and femoral hernia, which is expected to drive market growth. Inguinal hernia repair is one of the essential surgical procedures prioritized by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is also one of the most common surgical conditions worldwide, affecting 220 million people. Over 40,000 people die from complications from inguinal hernias, and about 3,500,000 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are lost annually.

• Increase in the obese population

The management of obese patients has become the forefront of hernia treatment with the rising number of obese patients and incidence of hernia. Being obese or overweight increases the strain and pressure on the abdominal muscles, making them weaker and more prone to developing hernias. Also, the risk of developing recurrent hernias is high if patients have poor adherence to recommended lifestyle modifications and factors such as being continuously obese and lifting heavy objects after surgical treatment to repair hernias. Hernia recurrence is more likely to occur especially umbilical hernias, in obese patients, both in male and female populations.

Opportunity

• Increase in minimal invasive surgery procedure

Minimally invasive surgery is associated with less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and fewer complications, increasing its demand in the market. Hernia minimal invasive surgeries are growing in the market with the increase in demand for minimally invasive techniques and their benefits to the patients compared to the traditional open surgeries, which pose risks of wound infection, among others. A rise in new technological advancements and demand for minimally-invasive surgical procedures has increased the use of surgical devices, which has risen the market growth and is expected to provide an opportunity for the market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Long Waiting Lines

A number of public healthcare systems with universal health coverage use waiting lists as a rationing capacity to balance demand and make access to services more equitable. Long delays, however, can have widespread negative consequences and threaten the principles of equity and providing timely access to care. In publicly funded health systems, waiting lists include the provision of a wide range of services, such as medical consultations, specialized care, diagnostic studies, or therapeutic procedures. Currently, the management of abdominal wall surgery waiting lists is carried out according to the length of time on the list and the priority in days (preferential 90 days, medium 180 days, and low 365 days) according to criteria related to the patient's clinical features and social conditions, risks associated with delayed surgery, and clinical effectiveness.

Concerns about the efficacy and safety of products used in hernia repair have caused most governments to develop regulatory agencies and policies to look after new medical devices. The use of medical devices can be done after passing stringent regulatory standards, which ensure the devices are safe, well-studied, and has no adverse reactions. The recent guidelines and the amendment have adequate guidance for manufacturers. International regulations such as medical device approvals play a major role in the new launch of hernia repair devices into the market. Thus, it can be a major restraint on the market growth of the market of North America hernia repair devices (permanent and absorbable hernia fixation).
