Surgical Sutures Market Analysis

The Surgical Sutures Market size is estimated at USD 5.43 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.40% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Surgical sutures, commonly referred to as stitches, serve as vital medical devices that hold body tissues together. After an injury or surgery, these sutures bring wound edges closer, ensuring effective wound closure and significantly contributing to the healing process. Sutures are available in a variety of types, differing in needle shape and size, as well as thread material and characteristics.

The growing popularity of cosmetic procedures has increased the demand for surgical sutures. For instance, according to the data published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in June 2024, around 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2023. According to the same source, 347,782 liposuction procedures were performed in 2023, an increase of 7% as compared to 2022. As the demand for cosmetic procedures like liposuction increases, the need for sutures that offer precision, minimal scarring, and improved healing also increases. Cosmetic procedures often require specialized sutures that cater to delicate skin areas and reduce visible marks, thereby driving market growth.

Moreover, the rising demand for cutting-edge surgical techniques and products, like biocompatible sutures with antimicrobial properties, is set to propel market growth. For instnace, a May 2024 article in ACS Omega Journal highlighted that eHp-AgNP-coated silk sutures could serve as biocompatible, antimicrobial materials in surgeries, enhancing wound healing and minimizing infection risks. Such findings underscore the significance of advanced surgical methods, fueling market expansion.

In addition, in August 2023, Healthium Medtech, a medical technology solution provider, launched TRUMAST. This new suture line is specifically crafted to tackle challenges in minimal access surgeries. Such innovations in suturing techniques are anticipated to unlock vast growth potential in the market.

Hence, the rise in the number of cosmetic procedures, the growing preference for advanced surgical methods and surgical products are projected to grow in the future, driving the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Despite the positive factors, needle-related infections and increasing preference toward minimally invasive surgeries are expected to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
