Suture Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product, By Wound Type, By End-use, By Distribution Channel, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
The global suture market size was estimated at USD 5.74 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.09% from 2025 to 2030. This market growth is largely attributed to the rising number of surgical procedures across key specialties such as orthopedics, cardiovascular, and general surgery.
Technological advancements in suture materials aimed at improving healing outcomes and reducing complications further drive market demand. As minimally invasive and precision procedures grow in popularity, demand for innovative, effective, and patient-friendly wound closure solutions is expected to grow consistently throughout the forecast period.
The increasing number of surgeries worldwide is a primary demand driver in the global suture industry. Improving health systems, advancements in surgical technology, and an aging population have resulted in increased surgical procedures across various specialties. For instance, according to the data published by the Global Survey 2023, Liposuction was the most common surgery in 2023, with over 2.2 million, followed by breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty, and rhinoplasty. All these increased procedures directly influence the demand for sutures, which play a significant role in wound closure and post-surgery recovery.Beyond cosmetic surgeries, the demand for sutures is also propelled by essential medical procedures such as cesarean sections, orthopedic surgeries, and cardiovascular interventions, further expanding the market's growth potential.
In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) report published in December 2023, approximately 1.19 million people die each year due to road traffic crashes, making these incidents one of the leading causes of mortality, particularly among children and young adults aged 5 to 29 years. In addition, in 2023, private industry employers reported approximately 2.6 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses, reflecting a decline of 8.4% from the previous year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the National Safety Council. The growing incidence of road accident injuries is further driving the market growth.
Furthermore, the growing incidence of sports-related injuries is one of the primary driving factors fueling market growth. For instance, according to the National Safety Council (NSC), exercise equipment was associated with approximately 482,886 injuries in 2023, marking it as the leading cause of injuries among all sports and recreation categories.
