    MEA Surgical Sutures Market Trends

      • The growing number of surgical procedures is driving the market growth

    Market CAGR for surgical sutures is driven by an increasing number of knee replacements, hip replacements, hysterectomies, bypass surgeries, and cosmetic surgeries, which are elevating the use of this device to close wounds quicker. Also, the rapidly increasing geriatric population is increasing the demand and adoption of surgical sutures due to the increasing incidence of surgical procedures such as joint replacement, angioplasty, and organ transplant among elderly patients. This is leading to higher demand for advanced devices in healthcare settings in this region.

    For instance, according to a study issued by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information, it was observed that around 30.0% of aged people fall due to difficulty walking every year, leading to a rising number of patients undergoing knee replacement surgeries.

    The surgical sutures market in the Middle East and Africa is poised for growth, driven by advancements in healthcare infrastructure and an increasing prevalence of surgical procedures.

    Market Segment Insights

    Middle East and Africa Surgical Sutures Product Type Insights

    The Middle East and Africa surgical sutures market segmentation, based on product type, includes absorbable and non-absorbable. The absorbable segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (0.15 Billion). In developing economies, category growth is driven by its ability to temporarily support wounds until it heals and can withstand normal stress. However, non-absorbable is the fastest-growing category due to its inability to degrade or break down. These sutures are majorly used in stressful internal environments where absorbable sutures cannot fulfill the desired requirement.

    Middle East and Africa Surgical Sutures Raw Material Insights

    The Middle East and Africa surgical sutures market segmentation, based on the raw material, includes natural and synthetic. The synthetic category generated the most income (70.4%) owing to the comparatively lower incidence of hypersensitivity reactions using synthetic sutures during wound closure. However, natural is the fastest-growing category due to its nature to react with tissues after wound closure, driving the market growth for surgical sutures.

    Middle East and Africa Surgical Sutures Construction Insights

    The Middle East and African surgical sutures market segmentation, based on construction, includes single filament and multi-filament. The single filament segment dominated the market, accounting for major market revenue as it has a positively low cost and minimal tissue reaction due to its smooth surface. However, multi-filament is the fastest-growing category due to advantages associated with the multi-filament segment, such as better pliability, high tensile strength, and flexibility.
