Increasing Geriatric Population Key Driver for Strong Growth of Global Surgical Adhesives and Sealants Demand
Adhesives and surgical sealants are used during medical procedures to fill surgical wounds, rebuild injured tissues, and replace and improve common stitching in medical practices.
The global market for surgical sealants and adhesives is forecasted to top $3.5 billion by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR of over 9.3% from 2019-2026, according to a report from FutureWise Market Research. Adhesives and surgical sealants are used during medical procedures to fill surgical wounds, rebuild injured tissues, and replace and improve common stitching in medical practices. These products can be used as supplements to sutures to restrict any leakages. They can be manufactured with natural or synthetic materials and are used to develop certain three-dimensional networks that attach to the target tissues and act as adhesives. Sealants have evolved to become useful aids in modern surgical procedures and are widely preferred given their efficacy, less stringent regulations, benefits in repairing injured tissues, and the growing need for quality healthcare.
A contributing factor in the upsurge of surgical sealants includes the growing geriatric population. Additional growth drivers include the increasing frequency of chronic diseases, more awareness of the advantages of using surgical adhesives, increasing demand for tissue regeneration products in cases of traumatic and burn injuries, and the rising number of cosmetic surgery procedures. In addition, with the number of surgical procedures increasing globally, the adoption of technologically advanced products fuels the market’s reach.
