India Surgical Sutures and Staplers Market Expected to Reach $815.1 Million by 2035

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “India Surgical Sutures and Staplers Market: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2035," The India surgical sutures and staplers market size was valued at $402.7 million in 2023 and is projected to reach $815.1 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2024 to 2035. The automated suturing devices segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.

Surgical sutures and staplers are both essential tools in the field of medicine, particularly in wound closure during surgical procedures. Sutures, also known as stitches, are threads or filaments used to hold tissue together after surgery or injury. Suturing requires skill and precision, as surgeons carefully stitch tissue layers together to helps in wound healing and reduce scarring. Sutures can be permanent or absorbable, depending on the type of surgery and the healing process required. However, surgical staplers offer an alternative method for wound closure. They work by deploying metal staples to join tissue together quickly and efficiently. Staplers come in different designs for various types of surgeries, including gastrointestinal, thoracic, and skin procedures. One of the advantages of staplers is their speed, allowing surgeons to close wounds rapidly, reducing overall surgical time and potentially minimizing complications. In addition, staplers can provide consistent staple placement, which may lead to improved wound healing outcomes.

Factors driving the growth of India surgical sutures and staplers market are rise in medical tourism and rise in prevalence of chronic diseases. According to Ministry of Tourism, India, it was estimated that in 2023 around 0.5 million international tourist visited India seeking medical treatment. Medical tourism involves individuals traveling to other countries to receive medical treatment, often seeking high-quality care at lower costs or access to specialized procedures not available in their home countries. As this trend continues to grow, especially in emerging economies such as India with advanced healthcare infrastructure, there is a corresponding surge in surgical procedures performed on medical tourists. Sutures and staplers play a pivotal role in these surgeries, as they are fundamental for wound closure and tissue approximation. Surgeons and medical facilities catering to medical tourists prioritize the use of high-quality sutures and staplers to maintain international standards of care and minimize the risk of complications. Thus, rise in medical tourism is expected to drive the growth of the market.

In addition, rise in prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the market. Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory illnesses, are on the rise in India due to factors such as urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, dietary changes, and rise in aging population. With the rise in chronic diseases, there is increase in the number of surgical procedures performed to address related complications, such as tumor resections, organ transplants, and cardiovascular surgeries. Sutures and staplers are indispensable tools in these surgeries, facilitating the closure of incisions, tissue repair, and anastomosis. Thus, rise in the number of surgeries performed in India is expected to drive the growth of the market.

The India surgical sutures and staplers market is segmented on the basis of surgical suture, surgical stapler, application, and end user. By surgical suture, the market is divided into automated suturing devices and sutures. On the basis of surgical stapler, the market is divided into manual surgical staplers and powered surgical staplers. On the basis of application, the market is divided into cardiovascular surgeries, general surgeries, gynecological surgeries, ophthalmic surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, and other surgeries. BY Application, the market is divided into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.

On the basis of surgical suture, the sutures segment generated maximum revenue in 2023 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period owing to high adoption of suture by medical professionals.

On the basis of surgical staplers, the manual surgical staplers segment generated maximum revenue in 2023. This is attributed to cost effectivity and easy to use nature of manual surgical staplers. In India, there are a significant number of hospitals that operate on limited resources. The manual surgical staplers emerged as a cost-effective option for the healthcare facilities, which operate on limited financial resources. However, the powered surgical staplers segment is expected to register significant growth owing to rise in adoption of powered surgical staplers to facilitate fast wound closure during surgeries.

On the basis of application, the cardiovascular surgeries segment generated maximum revenue in 2023 owing to rise in prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and rise in geriatric population. However, the ophthalmic surgeries segment is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, . This is attributed to rise in prevalence of eye disorders and diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and refractive errors, which has led to a growing demand for ophthalmic surgical procedures.

On the basis of end user, the hospitals segment generated maximum revenue in 2023 owing to developing healthcare infrastructure and favorable government initiatives. However, the ambulatory surgical centers segment is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, owing to cost effectivity
