Sternal Closure Systems Market Trends

• Increased demand for surgical operations to driving the market growth

Sedentary lifestyles increased alcohol and tobacco use, and poor diet is increasing the prevalence of heart disorders. As a result, surgical operations are increasing, which will likely accelerate the use of sternal closure devices in surgeries throughout the next years. The CDC found that 28.1 million adults in the U.S. had a heart disease diagnosis in 2016.

The demand for surgical instruments has increased due to an increase in surgical procedures performed around the world. The OECD estimates that in the U.K., there were about 399,952 surgical procedures in 2012; by 2016, that number had risen to 491,604. In addition, the senior population is more at risk for heart disease due to poor nutrition and inactivity. Also, the  demand for sternal closure systems is rising due to the aging population, which is more prone to chronic CVDs and is driving up the number of cardiovascular surgical procedures. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.

Due to the rise in non-communicable disease burden and injuries, emerging nations are also concentrating on investing in public healthcare infrastructure, which will further increase the number of surgical procedures there. According to figures released by the World Bank, China spent USD 425.6 on healthcare per person in 2015 or 5.3% of GDP. Furthermore, according to the Plan of Health China 2030, healthcare spending will represent 6.5% to 7% of the nation's GDP by 2020. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate Sternal Closure Systems market revenue.
