A recent study by Allied Market Research predicts that the Surgical Sutures Market is anticipated to reach USD 6.11 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
The global surgical sutures market has experienced growth due to an increase in surgical procedures worldwide, a rise in chronic diseases, and a demand for minimally invasive surgeries. However, the presence of alternative wound care management products hinders market growth. On the positive side, technological advancements and potential opportunities in developing countries are expected to open new avenues for market players.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic:
Surgical procedures have been postponed or reduced, as many patients delayed surgeries based on their doctors’ recommendations, leading to a significant decrease in the demand for surgical sutures.
Some hospitals have delayed non-essential surgeries to prevent cross-contamination and allocate resources to COVID-19 wards. Only essential surgeries were conducted.
With the reduction in COVID-19 cases, the demand for surgical sutures is expected to rebound.

However, Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period, driven by an increase in surgical procedures, a rise in chronic diseases, and growing demand for better healthcare services from a substantial patient base.
