Suture Needles Market Size was valued at USD 382.35 Billion in 2023. The Global Suture Needles industry is projected to grow from USD 402.71 Billion in 2024 to USD 712.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.56% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Suture needle is used for the placement of the suture within the tissue by carrying the material with minimal residual trauma.
An ideal suture needle should be rigid enough to avoid distortions, and flexible enough to bend before breaking. There are various types of suture needles used in a number of surgical procedures. They are made of steel, have blunt or sharp points, and can be curved or straight. Round-bodied needles pierce and spread the tissues with minimal cutting. They are used in easily penetrable tissues like the peritoneum and abdominal viscera. Blunt, and round body needles are used to dissect through friable tissues like liver and kidney.
Needles need to be strong enough to pass through tough tissues, causing minimal trauma to them and reducing tissue reactions. Thus, specific requirements for different type of needles set for a particular surgical procedure, has led to an increase in their demand in the hospitals. Most of the surgeons prefer specific types of needles based on their application, for instance needles required for suturing after laparoscopic and bariatric surgery are different from those required for an ophthalmic surgery. It is important for suture needle manufacturers to analyze the demand for various types of needles and then plan their quantity to be manufactured and supplied in order to avoid wastage of resources, time and money.
Notably, increasing incidence of chronic diseases is the key factor driving the Asia Pacific suture needles market. As per a study published in the BMC Public Health in 2017, prevalence of type-2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease has increased rapidly in the recent years.
Various other push factors such as, increasing advancement in technology, and rising adoption rate of new technology continuously contribute to the growth of the Asia Pacific suture needles market.
Despite these drivers, lack of a proper sterilization system, low healthcare expenditure, and unfavorable taxation policies may hamper the growth of the market. Additionally, many healthcare professionals have started using surgical staplers for suturing, especially in super specialty hospitals and tertiary care centers which may pose as another restraint and may reduce the demand for suture needles.
