Report overview
Segments covered: type, structure, coating type, application, end user. Regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America.
Sutures, also called stitches, are sterile surgical threads used to repair deep cuts. They are used for closing incisions from any surgery or injury. Sutures can be classified as absorbable and nonabsorbable.
Advancements in sutures and wound closure technologies and the increasing number of surgical practices are driving the growth of this market. In addition, growing healthcare infrastructure in developing countries will likely offer better growth opportunities for market expansion. However, the availability of alternative wound care products and the increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgeries is expected to restrain the market's growth to some extent.

Market dynamics
2 factors across 1 forceIncreasing Surgical Procedures to Drive the Demand for Surgical Sutures
Total Joint Replacement (TJR) is one of the most performed surgical procedures in the U.S. It is one of the most reliable and safest treatments in any area of medicine. According to the 2021 Annual Report of the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) on Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, more than 2.2 million hip & knee surgeries were performed in nearly 1,150 institutions. According to the data published by the American College of Rheumatology, more than 450,000 hip replacements and 790,000 total knee replacements are performed annually in the U.S.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in people in the U.S., According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every 34 seconds, one person dies from cardiovascular disease in the U.S., and nearly 805,000 people have a heart attack every year.
Therefore, the growing number of surgical procedures is expected to increase the demand for surgical devices and other accessories, including surgical sutures.
Advancements in Sutures and Wound Healing Technology to Drive the Demand for Surgical Sutures
Wound closure with surgical sutures is a crucial challenge for flexible endoscopic surgeries. The use of synthetic biomaterials as basic materials for surgical sutures, such as poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) or polydioxanone, is a result of recent advancements in functional materials. The layers of tissues, tension, tissue type, surgical access, and time of removal play a role in choosing suture materials for wound closure. The kind of wound closure decides the use of absorbable or non-absorbable materials for sutures. While non-absorbable sutures degrade poorly in the bodily tissues, absorbable sutures typically lose around 50% of their tensile strength within 60 days in the tissues where they are either digested by an enzyme or hydrolyzed. Certain non-absorbable sutures, such as steel sutures used for closing the sternum or bone, might remain in the body forever. Hence, manufacturers are focusing on the development of advanced sutures. For instance, DURAFIBR is a braided suture composed of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) introduced by Dolphin Sutures Company.
In addition, the popularity of minimally invasive surgical advancements like flexible endoscopy has grown recently. Flexible endoscopic procedures provide many advantages over invasive laparoscopic and traditional abdominal open procedures, including reduced postoperative discomfort and no abdominal skin scarring.

By Type
- The absorbable sutures segment is further divided into natural sutures and synthetic sutures.
- The absorbable sutures segment is expected to account for the largest share of the surgical sutures market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to its high tensile strength, low tissue reactivity, and the high adoption of sutures with antimicrobial protection to reduce the risk of surgical site infections.
By Structure
- The monofilament sutures segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth of this segment is driven by its ability to lower infection risk, offer resistance to microorganisms, and reduce tissue trauma.
- They are more appropriate with fine tissues where tissue trauma can be prominent such as blood vessels.
By Coating Type
- The antimicrobial sutures segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth of this segment is driven by the need to prevent infections caused due to needles or sutures, increasing awareness regarding infections, improving healing processes, and the rising aging population.
By Application
- The surgical sutures market is segmented into cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, gynecological surgery, cosmetic & plastic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and other applications.
- The orthopedic surgery segment is expected to account for the largest share of the surgical sutures market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing number of acute and chronic wounds that require surgeries, the increasing incidence of degenerative orthopedic conditions such as arthritis, age-related conditions, and bone tumors.
By End User
- The hospitals/clinics segment is expected to account for the largest share of the surgical sutures market.
- Hospitals & clinics are preliminary healthcare facilities.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to a large number of patient visits for wound care and surgical procedures in hospitals due to the high burden of the geriatric population and associated comorbidities.
