Absorbable and Non-Absorbable Sutures Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

Sutures are surgical instruments that are also known as stitches or surgical threads. They are used in surgeries to connect the wound's margins, allowing it to heal faster. These procedures can be performed on either the internal or external body systems to help with tissue healing. Depending on the needs of the case, different sutures are available on the market, with varying thicknesses or materials depending on the procedure. An absorbable suture, also known as a resorbable or biological suture, can be broken down by the body's enzymatic activity over time (dissolves). These fibres will gradually dissolve as they are incorporated into natural bodily processes such as inflammation and tissue turnover. A non-absorbable suture is a medical device made of materials that do not dissolve in the body.

Absorbable and Non-Absorbable Sutures Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising geriatric population and increasing number of surgeries

The non-absorbable suture market is expected to expand rapidly due to an ageing population and an increase in the number of surgeries. According to The American Geriatrics Society, the population of people 65 and older in the United States is rapidly growing, with the number expected to double to 89 million between 2010 and 2050. The rise in the number of surgical procedures is due to an increase in cardiovascular disease cases and people's desire to improve their physical appearance (thus increasing the number of cosmetic surgical procedures). In 2018, more than 17.7 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

• Increasing number of road accidents

According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents kill approximately 1.3 million people and injure between 20 and 50 million more. Non-absorbable surgical sutures are required for the closure of wounds and injuries sustained in an accident. As a result, an increase in the number of accidents is likely to increase the demand for sutures.

Opportunities

• Rising number of cosmetic (plastic) surgeries

According to the WHO, there will be more than 1.5 billion people aged 60 and up by 2050. This will primarily increase the number of cosmetic (plastic) surgeries and cardiovascular procedures (where there is significant blood loss), supporting demand for non-absorbable sutures. Another major factor driving market growth is technological innovation, which includes the refinement of suturing materials through the availability of sutures designed for specific surgical procedures, eliminating some of the difficulties that surgeons previously encountered during closure and decreasing post-operative infections. For instance, Covidien PLC (U.S.), introduced the V-Loc PBT Polybutester, the first non-absorbable, uni-directional barbed suture, which enabled efficient over sewing of staple lines and assisted in closing incisions efficiently to improve wound closure surgeries.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost

High maintenance costs and a lack of product innovation will slow market growth. The shortage of skilled professionals in the healthcare sector and an unfavourable reimbursement scenario will pose a challenge to the market. Furthermore, rising pricing pressure among manufacturers and increased availability and demand for advanced wound closure materials will act as market restraints and slow the market's growth rate.
