The “Absorbable Surgical Sutures Market Report - Forecast (2024-2030)” by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments in the Absorbable Surgical Sutures Market.

 

● The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the growth trajectory of the absorbable surgical sutures market. The imposition of lockdowns and the redirection of healthcare resources towards managing the pandemic led to a substantial decline in elective surgeries, a primary area of application for absorbable sutures. Hospitals and healthcare facilities globally postponed or canceled non-essential procedures to conserve resources and minimize the risk of virus transmission. Moreover, disruptions in the global supply chain, restrictions on manufacturing activities, and challenges in obtaining raw materials contributed to logistical issues for absorbable suture manufacturers. The heightened focus on infection prevention during the pandemic did, however, foster an increased preference for sterile and antimicrobial-coated products.

● The Russia-Ukraine war could potentially impact the Absorbable Surgical Sutures market in various ways. Geopolitical tensions and conflicts often have ripple effects on global supply chains, trade routes, and commodity prices. If either Russia or Ukraine is a significant producer or supplier of raw materials for PEG production, disruptions in the supply chain could lead to fluctuations in prices and availability. Moreover, the economic instability and uncertainties associated with geopolitical conflicts can affect the overall demand for industrial chemicals, including Absorbable Surgical Sutures. Industries in the affected regions may experience disruptions, leading to changes in production and consumption patterns.

The Synthetic Sutures Segment held the largest market share in 2023. This growth is owing to the extensive application of synthetic sutures in treating cardiovascular issues. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), an approximated 17.9 million people lost their lives from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), depicting 32% of all fatalities worldwide and of these fatalities, 85% were owing to heart attack and stroke. Synthetic sutures made of Polydioxanone (PDS) may be utilized for many kinds of soft tissue wound restoration (like abdominal closures) and pediatric cardiac techniques. Poliglecaprone (MONOCRYL) is a synthetic monofilament suture utilized for general application in soft tissue restoration and is most typically utilized to close the skin in a hidden form. Synthetic sutures also include polylactic acid (PLA) surgical sutures and polyglycolic acid sutures.
