Automated Suturing Devices Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Reusable and Disposable), Application (Abdominal, Cardiovascular, Dental, Gastrointestinal and Other Applications), End User (Clinics, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Hospitals and Other End Users) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automated Suturing Devices Market is accounted for $3.46 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.21 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. Automated suturing devices work with minimal incisions, little blood loss, fewer needle injuries, and infection-free suturing, all of which are crucial to the success of surgical procedures. Automated suturing devices significantly reduce the complexity of some surgical procedures. The automated suturing apparatuses can create a double row of sutures, sew them around the skin, and knot them. Depending on the type of wound, its anatomic location, and the thickness and degree of skin tension, various suturing techniques are employed.
According to the WHO, the annual number of non-fatal injuries alone contributes to more than 20 million cases worldwide. Hence, an increase in the incidence of wound injury is leading to a rise in the number of wound surgeries, which is expected to positively impact the growth of the market.
Market DynamicsDriverIncrease in the number of injuries
One of the high-impact factors driving up demand for automated suturing devices is an increase in the number of traffic accidents. Increased wound surgeries as a result of an increase in wound injury incidence are anticipated to have a long-term positive effect on the market for automated suturing devices. Burn-related injuries, sports-related injuries, trauma, and fall injuries are examples of additional accidents. According to the American Burn Association, 44% of all hospital admissions were due to burn injuries. The majority of severe injuries require surgical intervention, which significantly contributes to the market's expansion.
RestraintLack of resources in emerging economies
During the forecast period, market growth is anticipated to be constrained by the growing risk of device failure and the lack of infrastructure in developing nations. Poor product availability, a lack of skilled professionals, and high device costs are additional factors preventing the market from expanding. However, the increasing demand for automated suturing devices and rising product innovations from manufacturers are anticipated to offset impediments and propel market growth in the coming years.
OpportunityGrowing geriatric population
The primary factor driving market expansion is the aging population. The population division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs estimates that the proportion of people 60 and older has increased from 9.2% in 1990 to 11.7% in 2013 and is projected to rise even further to 21.1% by 2050. Cardiovascular, orthopedic, and neurological diseases are all very common in people 60 and older. Therefore, it is anticipated that a rise in the elderly population and the demand for surgery will increase the demand for automated suturing devices.
ThreatAvailability of substitutes
The development of automated suturing devices may be hampered by items like surgical staplers, medical tapes and bandages, zippers, and surgical sealants. A skin stapler is a tool that doctors use to quickly close lengthy skin lesions or remove difficult-to-reach areas. The staple seeds also disintegrate in the body. The edges of small skin wounds are also joined by doctors using duct tape. Compared to other types of material used to cover wounds, skin tapes are less expensive. Therefore, the lack of such alternatives could restrict market expansion.
Covid-19 ImpactThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused a number of significant problems for the healthcare system. Due to a shortage of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of digital technologies in the hospital industry significantly increased. Additionally, COVID-19 has caused a significant increase in demand for medical supplies like masks, gloves, and protective eyewear. To guarantee a sufficient and ongoing supply of personal protective equipment in the market, manufacturers have the opportunity to take advantage of the rising demand for medical supplies. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a big impact on the market.
The reusable segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the reusable segment is expected to witness the largest market share. Through sterilization processes, the reusable automated suturing devices cause little tissue damage and are immune to infection. Reusable equipment is also inexpensive and simple to obtain, which has increased consumer preference. Furthermore, the segment is expanding due to the rise in injuries and trauma that require sutures as well as the preference of doctors for automated suturing devices.
The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The hospitals segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid rate during the forecasted period. The rise in patients being admitted to hospitals is boosting demand for the hospital segment. Handheld automated suturing devices are helpful for treating minor injuries, shortening hospital stays, and speeding up overall recovery. Additionally, it is anticipated that the expansion of the market will also be fueled by hospitals' accessibility, availability, and favorable reimbursement policies relative to other settings.
Region with largest shareNorth America is estimated to dominate the automated suturing devices market throughout the forecast timeline due to an increase in the number of surgeries and an increase in the geriatric population. The ""Geriatric Surgery Verification (GSV) Program"" of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) reportedly introduced 32 new medical standards with the goal of systematically improving patient outcomes for the aging adult population. The US Census Bureau projects that between 2010 and 2050, the population's older age group will grow by 55%, making up 21% of the total. Furthermore, there is a high demand for minimally invasive surgeries assisted by robots, and there have been advancements in automated suturing technology in this area, which are likely to fuel demand.
Region with highest CAGRThe Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow rapidly over the forecast period due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and consumer awareness. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that injuries and chronic diseases (including cancer, diabetes, cancer, mental health disorders, cardiovascular disease, and mental health issues) are India's main causes of death and disability. India's illness burden is increasing as its population approaches 1.4 billion. Aside from that, regional companies are launching strategic initiatives to create and market fresh patient treatment options in this region. As a result, the market growth of automated suturing devices is likely to accelerate.
