Suture Needle Market Trends

• Surge in the number of surgical procedures for cardiovascular diseases is driving the market growth

The rise of chronic diseases and an increase in the number of surgeries for cardiovascular conditions are driving the market's expansion. Furthermore, the development of cutting-edge technical solutions will help the market for suture needles. For instance, Healthium Medtech unveiled Truglyde SN2355, a set of suture needles created exclusively for COMOC MG, a novel surgical strategy for treating postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), one of the main causes of maternal death, in May 2020.

The WHO estimates that 2,94,046 deaths worldwide and more than 42,48,389 recorded cases of COVID-19 occurred in May 2020.  healthcare delivery has been significantly disrupted by the epidemic, especially efforts to treat chronic ailments like heart disease. Cardiology diagnostic procedures were down 64% overall from the prior year across all geographical areas. On the other hand, 22% of centres reported a lack of high-filtration masks and personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical staff, which restricted their ability to provide care. This supply crunch has had an adverse impact on the suture needle market.

The demand for surgical care is expected to increase due to the increased frequency of cardiovascular diseases worldwide. According to the WHO, 17.9 million deaths ly from cardiovascular diseases—or 32% of all deaths—occurred in 2019. Furthermore, a sizable fraction of these fatalities may be caused by heart attacks and strokes.

The market is expected to increase as a result of numerous initiatives, including product launches, mergers, and acquisitions by significant industry participants. For instance, Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies, introduced The ProxiSure (TM) Suturing Device in August 2017 as a cutting-edge laparoscopic suturing device incorporating Ethicon endomechanical, suture, and curved needle technology. With a very intuitive tissue healing experience, ProxiSure (TM) was created to deliver precision suturing in constrained areas. It is especially well-suited for bariatric, general, colorectal, and gynaecological surgeries. The device's curved needle also enhances a surgeon's ability to suture a variety of tissue layers, including flat surfaces. Consequently, it is anticipated that the market for suture needles will expand as a result of such new developments. Thus, driving the Suture Needle market revenue.

Suture Needle Market Segment Insights

Suture Needle Shape Insights

The  Suture Needle market segmentation, based on Shape, includes straight shaped needles, j-shape needles, compound curve shaped needles, and half-curved. Straight shaped needles segment dominated the  market in 2022. The segment's expansion is related to the rise in popularity of rhinoplasty and abdominal surgery. In microsurgery, it's also applied to promote nerve and vascular repair. The straight-body needle, in contrast to other needle types, is used to suture tissue that is readily accessible and manageable by hand. Over the course of the projected period, the half-curved needle sector is anticipated to have substantial growth. This is due to the predictable path a half-curved needle takes through tissue and the fact that it is smaller than a straight needle.

Suture Needle Type Insights

The  Suture Needle market segmentation, based on type, includes eyed needles and eyeless. Eyed needles segment dominated the  market in 2022. Suture needle demand is expected to increase due to the eyed needles' ability to puncture easily penetrated tissues (such as the subcutaneous layers, dura, peritoneum, and abdominal viscera) while minimising fascia tearing. Over the course of the projected period, a significant growth rate is anticipated for the blunt point needle segment. Since blunt point needles can be used in place of conventional curved needles and greatly reduce risk exposures during surgical procedures, they are recommended as an alternative to taper point needles and are expected to drive market growth in the near future.
