By Type Analysis
Synthetic segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The synthetic segment accounted for largest market share, mainly due numerous benefits and advantages associated with these types over traditional sutures such as catgut or silk, which require removal after wound healing and its ability to eliminate the need for suture removal procedures, leading to significant time and cost savings for both patients and healthcare providers.
The natural segment is likely to exhibit fastest growth rate over the next coming years, mainly attributable to higher preferences and need for biodegradable and natural materials in several medical procedures and its growing use to minimize the risk of adverse reactions and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, natural dissolvable sutures are often being preferred in cosmetic and plastic surgeries due to their biocompatibility, reduced scarring potential, and ease of use, which in turn, has been positively impacting the segment growth.
By Application Analysis
Cardiovascular surgeries segment held the significant market share in 2022
Cardiovascular surgeries segment held the maximum market share in terms of revenue in 2022, which is largely accelerated to significant rise in the incidences of cardiac diseases globally, the rapidly growing expenditure on the development of healthcare infrastructure mainly related to the field, and presence of supportive and favorable reimbursement policies or scenarios all over the world. The growing shift towards the minimally invasive procedures in the field of cardiology has also led to an increased demand for dissolvable stitches, as these stitches provide advantage of avoiding the need for suture removal, reducing patient discomfort, and enabling faster recovery, thereby propelling the growth of the market.
For instance, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 6,95,000 people in the United States died due to heart diseases in the year of 2021, that accounts for 1 in every 5 deaths. About 805,000 people have a heart attack every year in the United States, which is further likely to increase in the coming years.
By End-User Analysis
Ambulatory surgical centers segment is expected to witness highest growth during forecast period
The ambulatory surgical centers segment is anticipated to witness highest growth rate of over XX% during the study period, on account of increasing number of ambulatory surgical centers globally and its rapidly surging popularity due to various advantages including cost-effectiveness, shorter patient stays, and quicker recovery times, which leads to a higher preference for outpatient surgeries.
The hospitals segment led the industry market with substantial share in 2022, that is highly attributable to availability of skilled medical staff & significantly advanced medical technologies across hospitals along with the growing healthcare expenditure in both developed & developing economies resulting in new innovations and improvements in the healthcare industry.
