The global biosurgery market size was USD 12.4 Bn in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 21.2 Bn in 2031, growing at a rate of 5.5% from 2022 to 2031.
Biosurgery is a medical procedure that comprises the use of natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic materials to seal surgical incisions and wounds. It is majorly used for preventing excessive blood loss, providing adhesion for wound and tissue sealing, and repairing damaged tissue and bones. Biosurgeries are usually conducted through the various hemostatic sealants, soft tissue repair, bone graft substitutes, adhesion prevention, and staple line reinforcement products. They also utilize natural allografts, cultured epithelial autografts, cultured epithelial autografts, and xenografts for minimizing intra and post-operative complications and promoting faster recovery of the patients.
Biosurgery Market Scope and Structure Analysis
Market Trends and Drivers
The major factors boosting the growth of the biosurgery market is the increasing volume of surgeries and the growing prevalence of severe trauma injuries. Adhesion formation is a major post-surgical complication, which results in healthcare complications and generally requires repeat surgeries for the treatment of affected patients. Post-surgical adhesion formation leads to different complications in different surgeries, like severe abdominal pain in the case of abdominal surgeries, infertility in women after gynaecological surgeries, and physical impairment of patients after neurological surgeries. Considering the severe effects of post-surgery adhesion formation in patients, the importance of products such as adhesion barriers is increasing in the market. Also, considering the growth in the number of surgeries performed globally, the importance of these products will be more prominent in the forthcoming years.
Likewise, the growing adoption of advanced biosurgery products in emerging markets is also boosting the growth of the biosurgery market. The penetration of biosurgery products is increasing across emerging countries, specifically based in the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. In the coming years, countries such as China, India, and Brazil are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the biosurgery market. This is because the markets in these countries are characterized by a large patient base for target indications (like cardiovascular, orthopedic, general/abdominal, and gynecologic disorders), rising health awareness, growing healthcare expenditure, rising medical tourism, coupled with rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure. Over the last few decades, countries such as India and Malaysia have emerged as hubs for medical tourism. This is because the cost of medical procedures across these emerging countries is significantly less in comparison to developed countries such as the US, Germany, France, and the UK. Moreover, government agencies in several Asia Pacific and Middle East countries are undertaking initiatives to support their respective healthcare systems, which is providing lucrative growth opportunities to the biosurgery product manufacturers across emerging countries.
Market Restraints & Challenges
one of the primary challenges in the growth of the global biosurgery market is the high price of biosurgery products and the rising cost of surgical products. The biosurgery market is extremely competitive in terms of pricing, due to the highly competitive intensity among existing players. Most of the products available in this market are priced at a premium. The high cost, combined with the unfavourable reimbursement scenario for these products in emerging countries, makes them unaffordable for a large section of the target patient population. Owing to the high cost of biosurgery products, conventional procedures such as sutures and ligature-based procedures are preferred during surgeries across emerging countries. Adding to that, the biosurgery products currently available in the market are made of complicated reconstitutes with a poor shelf life. So, there is a growing need for low-priced products that are easy to handle and have a better shelf life.
Global Biosurgery Market Segmentation
The report analyses the biosurgery market based on product, application, end-user, and regions.
Global Biosurgery Market by Product
On the basis of product, it is segmented into bone graft substitutes, soft-tissue attachments, hemostatic agents, surgical sealants and adhesives, adhesion barriers, and staple-line reinforcement agents. The bone graft substitutes segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. The key factors such as the increasing use of bone-graft substitutes across different types of orthopedic surgeries as they reduced surgical time are propelling the market growth of the segment. The bone substitutes can be broadly categorized into bone grafts (autografts, allografts, xenografts), ceramics and growth factors. The ideal bone substitutes should be biocompatible and not evoke any adverse inflammatory response.
Global Biosurgery Market by Application
Based on application, it is segmented into orthopedic surgery, general surgery, neurological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, reconstructive surgery, gynecological surgery, urological surgery, thoracic surgery, and others. The reconstructive surgery segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The key factors such as the increasing number of facial cosmetic surgeries combined with increasing cases of skin injuries, growing incidences of burn injuries, and an increasing number of breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and breast reconstruction procedures are the major factors driving the growth of this segment.
Global Biosurgery Market by End User
Based on the end-user, it is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and others. The hospital segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. The key factors attributing to the growth of the market are the increasing number of surgeries taking place across the globe coupled with the rising geriatric population and the incidence of various diseases. Additionally, the increasing need to control blood loss and achieve efficient homeostasis and wound closure in trauma cases, injuries, or surgical procedures is leading to the increasing adoption of biosurgery products by surgeons.
Geographical Analysis of Global Biosurgery Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is anticipated to dominate the global biosurgery market over the forecast period. This is attributed to the significant number of prominent vendors, a highly developed healthcare system, an increasing number of surgeries, rising obese patients, and an increasing geriatric population. The Asia Pacific region is to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the growing aging population, favorable government initiatives, rising per capita income, and increasing investments in the healthcare infrastructure. Europe is expected to hold the second-largest market share over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Analysis
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), due to the epidemic of a novel coronavirus, the worldwide economy decreased by over 3.0% in 2020. Several nations were under strict lockdowns in 2020 & 2021, which have impacted the supply of raw materials. Therefore, due to this, the manufacturing activities of biosurgery producers have ceased. While some biosurgery is considered urgent, others have been postponed and delayed since the beginning of the global pandemic. The other aspect negatively affecting the market is the drop in the diagnosis of obesity owing to healthcare resources being reserved for COVID-19 patients. Owing to the growing incidence of COVID-19, hospitals became high-risk zones, specifically for patients suffering from chronic conditions. Owing to that, non-critical procedures such as elective surgeries were either canceled or postponed during the first and second quarters of 2020, which resulted in a significant decline in the total number of elective surgical procedures performed. As a result, the demand for biosurgery products witnessed a sharp decline in 2020. The second wave of COVID-19 further deprioritized elective surgical procedures. Governments across the globe have also issued limitations and bans on medical procedures and elective surgeries. With the current pandemic scenario, surgical procedures have witnessed a decline and are only expected to increase in the third quarter of 2021 in countries such as the US. Some countries in the EU have resumed surgical interventions, which has increased the demand for biosurgery products in the region.
