This market research report includes a detailed segmentation of the global surgical

sutures market by device type (suture threads {absorbable and non-absorbable}

and automated suturing device), by application (ophthalmic surgery, neurological

surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and others), by end-users

(hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others), and by regions (North America,

Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World).

Overview of the Global Surgical Sutures Market Research:

Infoholic’s market research report predicts that the global surgical sutures market

will grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2019–2025. Suturing is an

integral part of surgical technique in all medical specialties and has been in use for

many decades. Sutures may be placed deep inside the tissue or superficially to close

a wound. A variety of suture techniques are available to close a wound, and

deciding on a specific technique depends on the location of the wound, degree of

tension, and thickness of the skin. Sutures can be non-absorbent (must be removed)

or absorbent (dissolvable).

The increase in life-threatening diseases has resulted in more surgical procedures,

and more than 230 million surgeries are performed worldwide every year. More

than 22 million surgeries take place in the US every year. Asia Pacific accounts for

the largest distribution of surgical procedures, i.e., nearly 33% of the worldwide

procedures, due to its large population of over 4 billion. India is anticipated to

become the second-largest market for robotic surgery by 2020. In 2017, India had

over 50 surgical robots and a pool of over 300 trained robotic surgeons, and an

estimated 700 robotic-assisted surgeries a month are performed in the country.

Advancements in suture design & application, favorable government regulations,

and improving healthcare infrastructure in developing economies will enhance the

revenue of the global surgical sutures market in the next five years. The increasing

disease cases and surgical procedures ensure constant growth of the market during

the forecast period 2019–2025.

in this field; few of them include B. Braun Melsungen AG, Johnson & Johnson

(Ethicon Inc.), Teleflex Incorporated, Smith & Nephew PLC, Integra LifeSciences, and

Medtronic PLC.

According to the Infoholic Research analysis, North America accounted for the

largest share of the global surgical sutures market in 2018 and will retain a high

position during the forecast period. North America is followed by Europe with a

share of more than 25% of the global market in 2018.

By Product:

 Suture Thread

 Absorbable Sutures

 Natural Absorbable Sutures

 Synthetic Absorbable Sutures

 Non-absorbable Suture

 Nylon Sutures

 Prolene Sutures

 Stainless Steel Sutures

 Other Non-absorbable Sutures

 Automated Suturing Device

In 2018, the suture thread segment accounted for the largest share, and the

automated suturing device segment is expected to grow at a high-single-digit CAGR

during the forecast period. Suture threads are further segmented into absorbable

sutures and non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures include synthetic and

natural sutures. Nylon sutures, prolene sutures, stainless steel sutures, and other

non-absorbable sutures are types of non-absorbable sutures. Reduced cost and

higher preference of suture threads for wound closure make the segment the

largest shareholder over automated suturing devices.

By Applications:

 Ophthalmic Surgery

 Neurological Surgery

 Orthopedic Surgery

 Cardiovascular Surgery

 Others

In terms of application analysis, cardiovascular surgery dominated the market in

2018 and is expected to occupy the major share during the forecast period

2019–2025. This is primarily due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular

diseases and high number of surgeries performed globally.

By End-users:

 Hospitals

 Ambulatory Surgical Centers

 Others

Hospitals occupied the largest share in 2017 and are expected to continue the same

for the next few years.

By Regions:

 North America

 Europe

 Asia Pacific

 Rest of the World

Based on geography, North America dominated the market in 2018 with a share of

over 35% and is expected to maintain this position throughout the forecast period.

This is due to increasing adoption of technologically advanced products, presence of

major companies, and growing number of disease cases. Asia Pacific is expected to

grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period due to upsurge in chronic disease

cases, growing medical tourism, and favorable reimbursement scenario.
