Northbrook, IL 60062 -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/29/2022 -- The global surgical sutures market is projected to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2021 to 2026.

Increasing number of surgical procedures;

According to the WHO 2016 Report, the estimated mean global surgical rate was 4,469 operations per 100,000 people per year, with road accidents and associated trauma being the major cause of surgical treatment. According to the EC Factsheet 2017, globally, there are around 174 fatalities per million population every year. Furthermore, WHO data estimates that around 1.3 million people die each year on the roads. For every road accident-related death, there are 20 other persons who sustain non-fatal injuries that often require surgical intervention.

The aging population is at a higher risk of chronic diseases and conditions and requires frequent surgeries. Adults aged 65 and above account for a large fraction of surgeries performed in the US. The rapid growth in the aging population and the growing incidence of various chronic diseases are expected to significantly drive the number of surgeries performed globally. Furthermore, by 2030, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are projected to account for more than one-half of the disease burden in low-income countries and more than three-fourths in middle-income countries. In the geriatric population, NCDs account for more than 87% of the burden in low, middle, and high-income countries. The high prevalence of chronic diseases, especially among the geriatric population, will considerably boost the number of surgical treatment procedures conducted and thus drive the demand and use of surgical sutures.
