Absorbable Sutures Market Size & Trends
The global absorbable sutures market size was estimated at USD 2.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2030. The absorbable sutures industry is expanding due to several key drivers, including increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries and advancements in suture materials. The shift towards less invasive procedures promotes faster recovery and reduced complications, boosting the use of absorbable sutures in various specialties such as general surgery, orthopedics, and ophthalmology. Technological innovations in suture materials, such as enhanced tensile strength and biocompatibility, are also contributing to market growth.
Absorbable sutures are a type of sutures that gradually dissolve in the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. These sutures are made from materials like polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), polyglactin, and polydioxanone (PDO), which are bioabsorbable and provide a range of benefits, including reduced patient discomfort, lower risk of infection, and quicker recovery times.
ne of the key drivers of market growth is the increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide. According to the World Federation of Neurology, 12.0% of the total neurology patients succumb to these conditions each year, and according to Medico Experts, 22.6 million people suffer from neurological injuries, of which 13.8 million require surgery. In addition, according to the WHO, the number of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost due to neurological diseases is anticipated to increase from 95 million in 2015 to 103 million in 2030 across the globe. An increasing number of neurological surgeries and the high demand for absorbable sutures specially designed for these procedures are expected to drive market growth.
The rising geriatric population is another significant driver of the absorbable sutures industry. As the global population ages, the demand for surgical procedures is expected to rise due to the higher incidence of age-related conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, which require surgical intervention. According to the United Nations, the global population aged 60 years or older is expected to increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030. This demographic shift has led to a corresponding rise in the number of elderly individuals requiring surgeries, driving the demand for absorbable sutures in various procedures.
