The global surgical suture market size is expected to reach at USD 5.9 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period. The increasing cases of complicated surgeries and awareness regarding patient safety during surgeries are expected to drive the market in the next few years.

Aging baby boomers and introduction of various sutures by the market players are other high impact rendering market drivers. For instance, in November 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved RESORBA suture range developed by Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc.

Furthermore, advantages associated with multivalent sutures over staples and adhesives in complicated surgeries are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Staples cause more pain and are less precise in complicated wound closure, hence sutures are preferred over staples. This factor is anticipated to bode well for the growth of the market for surgical sutures over the forecast period.

Increasing number of surgical procedures due to the presence of a large geriatric population, government support in various countries, and favorable reimbursement scenario are likely to further drive the market in the forthcoming years.

The type segment comprises absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable suture provides temporary support to wound till it heals, can withstand normal stress, and there is no need to remove it post-surgery as it gets absorbed in the body after a certain period. This factor is anticipated to drive the demand for this type in near future.
