According to FutureWise analysis the market for surgical sealants and adhesives in 2023 was US$ 2.46 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 6.01 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 11.80%.
Surgical sealants are used in surgical incision to prevent fluid leakage during invasive procedures. They are most commonly used in vascular reconstruction to attain mechanical hemostasis. Along with this, surgical sealants are also used for aortic root replacements, suture line replacements, anastomoses and prevention of arterial venous bleeding. Most of the commercial surgical sealants are flexible, biocompatible and biodegradable. Surgical sealants can be synthetic or natural or a mix of both. Natural surgical sealants mostly include polypeptide/proteins polysaccharides. Synthetic sealants include polyurethane, polyethene glycol polymer adhesives respectively. Surgical sealant market is primarily driven by increasing prevalence of invasive surgeries. Traditionally, sutures/wires/staples are used for wound sealing and they pose significant threats like tissue damage, infection and delayed the repair of the tissue. Due to the rapid advancements of technologies, traditional methods are replaced by surgical sealants and let to the burgeoning growth of the market. Along with this, recent advancements have led to the development of biocompatible sealants which decreased the complications associated with invasive surgeries. It also allows normal movement of tissues without any interference on the functioning of the organs.
Among the different types of surgical sealants, synthetic adhesives offer high mechanical and adhesive strength. These features made the synthetic surgical sealants most attractive segment over natural sealants and expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. All these factors have led to the potential growth of surgical sealant market. Surgical sealant market has witnessed robust growth in North America due to increasing adoption among the end-user segments. It is followed by Europe, Asia Pacific regions and expected to be fast growing regions during the forecast period. Latin America and Rest of world surgical sealant markets are expected to account small share in global surgical sealant market due to limited penetration among the end users.
