Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, And Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare sector and has necessitated a significant reallocation of medical staff. This has caused numerous anticipated treatments for benign disorders to be postponed. As per an article titled “Elective hernia surgery cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic” published in July 2020, an estimate of 28 million elective operations were canceled during the peak 12 weeks of disruption caused by COVID-19, equaling 72.3% of all elective surgery. This had a significant impact on the market and the usage of surgical polypropylene mesh and its usage in various surgical procedures. According to the same source mentioned above, the hernia registry "Herniamed" documented up to 7000 inguinal herniae, 1700 umbilical hernias, and 1200 incisional hernia repairs per month in 2020 and the proportion of emergency repairs was 2.5% for inguinal hernias and 5.9% for both umbilical and incisional hernias. Thus, the decreased hernia surgery during COVID conditions is expected to have a significant on market growth.

Less hospital stay time, less application, and standardized results are some benefits of the surgical polypropylene mesh that assist the market expansion of the material. The market is expected to expand due to several factors, including an increase in hernia cases, raising awareness of the advantages of implanting mesh material during corrective surgeries, technological advancements in surgical mesh, an increase in risk factors like obesity, and changing lifestyle trends. As per an article titled “Classification, clinical features, and diagnosis of inguinal and femoral hernias in adults” published in April 2022, the lifetime prevalence of groin hernias is estimated to be 27% to 43% in males and 3% to 6% in females. Groin hernias are the most common surgical condition encountered by primary care clinicians, with 1.6 million diagnosed annually and 500,000 undergoing operative repairs in the United States. 20 million cases of groin hernia repairs are performed annually across the globe, of which inguinal hernia repair is the most common of all abdominal wall hernia operations. Thus, the increasing prevalence of hernia cases and other complications related to it are expected to accelerate the growth of the market. Similarly, in another article titled “Prevalence and associated factors of external hernia among adult patients visiting the surgical outpatient department at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study” published in April 2022, globally, the prevalence of abdominal wall hernia was 1.7% for all ages. Abdominal wall hernias are accounting for 15%–18% of all surgical procedures, and annually more than 20 million hernias are operated on worldwide. The increasing hernia surgery number is expected to promote the high usage of surgical polypropylene mesh and thereby is expected to promote market growth during the forecast period.

Certain factors that are driving the market growth include an increasing number of surgeries and rising healthcare expenditure and technological advancements and existing advantages. Certain investments in the healthcare sector offer attractive long-term financial benefits. Medical care is one such area in which individuals tend to increase spending as incomes grow. The healthcare industry in emerging markets has been growing rapidly in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Such factors potentially drive the demand for Surgical Polypropylene Mesh adoption, across the world.

Key Market TrendsAmbulatory Surgical Centers Shows Lucrative Opportunity in the Global Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market

Ambulatory care or outpatient care is medical care that is provided on an outpatient basis. As per an article titled “The Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient” published in November 2021, surgery performed as part of outpatient care is typically less intrusive than hospital operations. Outpatient treatment is frequently used for ear, eye, mouth, nose, and throat surgery. After an outpatient procedure, most patients leave between one and four hours later. Thus, less time recovery is one of the most important needs in ambulatory care, and the surgical polypropylene mesh used in outpatient care drives segmental growth in the market.

The prevalence of chronic diseases is increasing across the world, due to the rapidly aging population and greater longevity of people with chronic conditions, eventually leading to tremendous pressure on the healthcare system all across the world. As per an article titled "A review of recent developments of polypropylene surgical mesh for hernia repair" published in August 2022, the hernia is the most done surgical procedure done in ambulatory care. Hernia mesh is a flexible, thin flat piece of woven or knitted material with a porous structure. It has been reported that more than 80% of hernia surgery uses mesh materials. Approximately 20 million hernia repairs per year are conducted worldwide, and about one million meshes are consumed every year during hernia surgery. Throughout the past few decades, surgery has been increasingly prioritized by the global health community or governments even in low- and middle-income countries. As a result, the number of surgical procedures has risen significantly in various ambulatory centers and other facilities, it is expected to increase the usage of surgical polypropylene mesh in various surgeries conducted.

Therefore, the abovementioned factors are expected to accelerate segmental growth during the forecast period.

North America Dominates the Global Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market During the Forecast Period.

North America is expected to dominate the overall market, throughout the forecast period. In the North American region, the United States holds the largest market share and this is due to better regulations of surgical devices and growing awareness.

As per an article titled "Definition & Facts for Diverticular Disease" published in August 2021, diverticulosis is quite common, especially as people age. More than 30% of United States adults between the ages of 50 and 59 and more than 70% of those older than age 80 have diverticulosis. In the United States, about 200,000 people are hospitalized for diverticulitis each year.2 About 71,000 people are hospitalized for diverticular bleeding each year. Thus the increasing number of diverticulosis cases in the country and region is expected to increase the demand for surgical polypropylene mesh for surgical procedures. The companies also have well-established direct channel collaboration with hospitals and clinics to serve the studied market. Similarly, an article titled "Ulcerative Colitis" published in June 2022, ulcerative colitis has an incidence of 9 to 20 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Its prevalence is 156 to 291 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Compared to Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis has a greater prevalence in adults in the United States. Thus, the increasing incidence of ulcerative colitis is expected to drive the market in the region.

Thus, the abovementioned factors are expected to promote market growth in the region during the forecast period.
