Global Topical Skin Adhesive Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Topical Skin Adhesive market size is predicted to grow from US$ 717 million in 2025 to US$ 1144 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025 to 2031.

Topical skin adhesive is used to close wounds in the skin, as an alternative to sutures, staples or clips. Topical skin adhesive produces less scarring and is less prone to infection than sutured or stapled closure.

The key drivers of the topical skin adhesive market is the increasing trend toward minimally invasive procedures. Patients and healthcare providers are seeking alternatives to traditional sutures and staples, which can cause discomfort and scarring. Topical skin adhesives offer faster application, reduced infection risk, and improved cosmetic outcomes, making them an attractive option in surgical, emergency, and outpatient settings. Additionally, advances in adhesive technology have led to the development of more durable and flexible products that further enhance their clinical use.

A major challenge in the topical skin adhesive market is the potential for product failure in high-tension areas or on patients with compromised skin, such as those with diabetes or thin skin. In such cases, adhesives may not provide sufficient strength to hold the wound closed, necessitating alternative closure methods. Furthermore, the initial cost of these products remains higher than traditional options like sutures or staples, which can be a barrier for adoption in cost-sensitive healthcare environments, especially in developing regions.
