Suture Anchors Market

Suture Anchors Market Research, 2031

The global suture anchors market size was valued at $572.5 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $899.4 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2022 to 2031. 

Suture anchors are used to attach soft tissue to bone in a condition when insufficient soft tissue buildup on the bone makes it impossible to establish a direct soft tissue-to-soft tissue repair. In most areas of the body, tissue anchors enable reattachment of tissue to bone. Depending on the type of tissues present, these anchors are subject to various stresses through a variety of methods. There are several options for anchor selection, thus it is critical for the surgeon to comprehend the unique properties and biomechanics of each anchor as this can influence utilization. 

Suture anchors can now be used in a wide range of musculoskeletal tissues, including the hip, elbow, hand, knee, foot, and ankle, thanks to innovations and sophisticated procedures. Furthermore, suture anchors consist of an anchor (which is put into the bone and can be made of metal or biodegradable substance) and an eyelet (a hole or a loop in the anchor through which the suture passes that help to link the anchor to the suture). Through the anchor's eyelet, the suture is attached to it. It could be an absorbable or non-absorbable material. 

The suture anchors market was negatively impacted during the lockdown period owing to decrease in patient visit to the hospitals for treatment other than COVID-19. Furthermore, the pandemic situation led to unavailability of beds in hospitals for other admission purpose and hence, reduced the number of surgical procedures, which negatively impacted the sale of suture anchors products.

Historical Overview

The market was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively from 2018-2020. The suture anchors market size grew at a CAGR of around 3-4% during 2018-2021. Most of the growth during this period was derived from the Asia-Pacific owing to the improving health awareness, rising disposable incomes, as well as well-established presence of domestic companies in the region.

Market Dynamics

Factors that drive the suture anchors market growth include increase in geriatric population, rise in sports-related injuries such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, contusions, surge in incidences of tendon & wrist injuries, and increase in interest in other workouts and physical activities among children & adults. For instance, according to a John Hopkins Medicine article, 30 million individuals participate in organized sports, resulting in more than 3.5 million sports injuries annually in the U.S. alone, with sprains and strains. Furthermore, increase in the number of product launches by different key players propels the market growth. For instance, in September 2020, Smith and Nephew, the global medical technology business, announced the launch of the HEALICOIL KNOTLESS Suture Anchor, expanding its revolutionary line of Advanced Healing Solutions for rotator cuff repair.

Furthermore, presence of a plethora of products in the pipeline and high market potential in untapped emerging economies are anticipated to serve as attractive suture anchors market opportunity during the forecast period. Moreover, expansion in medical tourism in developing economies, increase in consumer awareness for skin resurfacing, and aesthetic enhancement significantly propel the growth of the market. Moreover, increase in number of licensed medical centers fuels the growth of suture anchors market. In addition, accidents cause soft tissue injuries, particularly road accidents lead to increase in number of orthopedic surgeries, thus fueling the growth during suture anchors market forecast.  

COVID-19 Impact Analysis-

The COVID-19 outbreak had a negative impact on the suture anchors industry as huge number of medical colleges and hospitals across the globe were reconstructed to increase hospital capacity for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Discovery and development of suture anchors product slowed down during pandemic however did not stop. Surgeries of orthopedic patients were postponed, and home care setting was preferred. Non-essential surgical procedures took a potential backlog, owing to rapidly rising COVID-19 cases; only selective emergency surgeries were performed.
  
In addition, consumers focused only on highly essential products such as foods & beverages. However, with relaxation in lockdowns and decline in COVID-19 cases, companies have re-started their processes to meet the demand for products. Moreover, owing to the introduction of various COVID-19 vaccinations, people can now readily reach out to hospital and pharmacy due to which surge in the demand for suture anchors product for the treatment of injuries has increased. Thus, such development is anticipated to bring stabilization and drive the growth of the suture anchors industry during the forecast period.

Segmental Overview

The suture anchors market is segmented into product type, tying type, material, end user, and region. By product type, the market is categorized into absorbable and non-absorbable. On the basis of tying type, the market is segregated into knotless and knotted. On the basis of material, the market is divided into bio-composite suture anchor, peek suture anchor/ biostable, and others. By end user, the market is classified into hospitals & clinics and ambulatory surgery centers. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

By Product Type: On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into absorbable and non-absorbable. The absorbable segment dominated the global market in 2021 and is expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period, as absorbable sutures are widely used in multiple surgeries as they are biodegradable and do not require manual removal. Furthermore, absorbable sutures continue to be a reliable, consistent, and secure implant for attaching soft tissue to bone in and around the shoulder which further drive the segment growth. 

By Tying Type: Suture anchors market is segregated into knotless and knotted. The knotless segment dominated the global suture anchors market share in 2021 and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to knotless suture anchors have contributed towards providing versatility and reducing time spent to perform the surgical procedures. Thus, this factor is anticipated to fuel the knotless segment growth. In addition, increase in rate of approval & commercialization of medical devices such as anchor sutures and improved supply chain activities are ехресtеd to Ñ€rореl the grоwth of the market.

By Material: Suture anchors market is segregated into bio-composite suture anchor, peek suture anchor/ biostable and others. The bio-composite suture anchor segment dominated the global market in 2021 and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to tricalcium phosphate (TCP) or hydroxyapatite, two reabsorbed materials, are the components of bio-composite suture anchors (HAP). These sutures lower the risk of articular injury, aid in boosting bone formation following reabsorption, and lessen the risks associated with implant removal. Thus, this factor is anticipated to fuel the bio-composite suture anchor segment growth. 

 

By End User: The market is classified into hospitals and clinics, and ambulatory surgery centers. The ambulatory surgery centers held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period, owing to well-equipped operation theaters, higher buying power, and rise in patient admission.
