Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market Analysis
The surgical polypropylene mesh market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period.
- The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the healthcare sector, resulting in the reallocation of medical staff and the cancellation or postponement of planned treatments for benign disorders. For instance, according to an article published in the BMC journal in July 2022, Swedish countries experienced a more than 60% increase in the number of emergency ventral hernia repairs during the pandemic, which was associated with a 40% reduction in elective ventral hernia repairs. However, as the demand for surgical interventions increases, coupled with the high prevalence of hernia cases that require surgeries, the market is expected to experience significant growth.
- Several factors are expected to drive the market's expansion, including the increasing number of surgeries, rising healthcare expenditure, and technological advancements in surgical polypropylene mesh. As reported in an article published in UpToDate in April 2022, the lifetime prevalence of groin hernias was estimated to be 27% to 43% in males and 3% to 6% in females. Groin hernias are the most common surgical condition encountered by primary care clinicians, with 1.6 million diagnosed annually and 500,000 undergoing operative repairs in the United States. Additionally, the same source reported that 20 million cases of groin hernia repairs are performed annually across the globe, with inguinal hernia repair being the most common of all abdominal wall hernia operations. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of hernia cases and other complications related to it are expected to accelerate the market's growth.
- Similarly, another article published in PubMed in April 2022 reported a prevalence of 1.7% for abdominal wall hernia across all ages, accounting for 15%-18% of all surgical procedures and more than 20 million hernias operated on worldwide annually. This increasing number of hernia surgeries is expected to promote the high usage of surgical polypropylene mesh and, thereby, promote market growth during the forecast period.
- Thus, due to the rise in hernia cases and the increase in healthcare expenditures, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the forecast period. However, the risks associated with the usage of mesh are expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period.
Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market Trends
Hernia Repair is Expected to Show a Lucrative Opportunity in the Global Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market
- Hernia repair surgery, also known as herniorrhaphy, involves the restoration of displaced tissues to their proper position. Hernioplasty is a type of hernia repair surgery that involves sewing a mesh patch over the weakened area of tissue. Robotic surgery has made it easier for surgeons to sew tissue and meshes inside the abdomen. As a result, the increase in hernia repair cases is expected to be a major driver of segment growth over the forecast period.
- Research has shown that mesh is a superior alternative to sutures in strengthening the weak abdominal wall after hernia surgery. To improve the host body compatibility of this fiber-based mesh, numerous attempts have been made to enhance the surgical meshes available on the market by investigating various materials, designs, and production methods. Therefore, due to the superior support provided by mesh systems compared to other alternatives for hernia repair, this segment is expected to experience significant growth in the market over the forecast period.
- Inguinal hernia surgery using a polypropylene mesh was proposed many years ago and is now widely accepted as preferable to basic suture repair in most countries. The number of meshes available has increased dramatically, which is likely to drive market growth. Studies have shown that polypropylene mesh has a progressive decrease of shrinkage on the hernia tissues to which they are attached, reducing the risk of recurrence. As the recurrence of hernia is minimized by using polypropylene mesh, the demand for this type of mesh is projected to increase, further driving market expansion.
- Research has also shown that the polypropylene mesh is successful in inguinal hernia repair, with some studies demonstrating favorable foreign body reaction, biocompatibility, and no failure in tensile and burst strength. These advancements and research studies indicate that polypropylene mesh is a better option for hernia repair cases, thereby driving market growth over the forecast period.
- In conclusion, due to the rise in hernia cases and the increase in research studies relating to the advantages of using polypropylene mesh in hernia repair, this segment is expected to witness significant growth in the market over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market Over the Forecast Period
- North America is expected to maintain a substantial market share of the global market throughout the forecast period, primarily due to several factors. Firstly, there has been a rise in diseases that require surgical interventions, leading to an increase in the use of surgical polypropylene mesh over traditional sutures. Secondly, there have been significant technological advancements in surgical polypropylene mesh, which have further boosted its adoption in surgical procedures.
- According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) August 2021 update, over 30% of adults in the United States aged between 50 and 59, and more than 70% of those older than 80, have diverticulosis. Each year, approximately 200,000 people are hospitalized for diverticulitis in the United States, while 71,000 are hospitalized for diverticular bleeding. These statistics indicate a growing number of diverticulosis cases in the region and, in turn, an increase in demand for surgical polypropylene mesh for surgical procedures.
- Furthermore, companies have established a robust direct channel collaboration with hospitals and clinics to serve the market effectively. In Canada, as per the article published in September 2022 in the Canadian Journal of Surgery, a study conducted in Eastern Ontario showed that the anterior open approach with a mesh patch is the most commonly used method in inguinal hernia repair. Moreover, investments in surgeries by the government and private firms in the studied region are expected to promote market growth. For example, Canada committed USD 2 billion in additional healthcare funding in March 2022 to clear backlogs and support hundreds of thousands of additional surgeries.
- Additionally, an increase in clinical studies to demonstrate the advantages of surgical mesh in hernia surgeries is expected to fuel market growth. For instance, in November 2022, Cleveland Clinic sponsored a clinical trial to compare the quality of life at one year postoperatively for patients undergoing incisional hernia repair with mesh versus suture repair using modern techniques. In this study, participants will undergo incisional hernia repair with prolene mesh in the retro rectus position with at least 4cm of overlap.
- In conclusion, due to the rise in cases of hernia and increasing research studies related to polypropylene mesh, North America is expected to hold a significant market share over the forecast period.
