The global surgical sutures market is projected to reach USD 6.65 billion by 2030 from USD 4.84 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.
The growth in the global surgical procedures landscape can be attributed primarily to the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions associated with an aging demographic, notably diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders, all of which frequently necessitate surgical intervention. Furthermore, the rising incidence of trauma and accidents contributes to an uptick in suture demand. Innovations such as absorbable, antibacterial, and barbed sutures significantly improve surgical outcomes and mitigate infection risks, thereby catalyzing market growth. Additionally, the ascent of robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, which require advanced suturing methodologies, continues to propel the market forward, highlighting the need for precision in wound closure.
This accessibility has led to a rise in the number of surgeries performed, reflecting a broader shift towards proactive healthcare management. Moreover, the US is recognized as a hub for medical innovation, largely due to the presence of leading companies like Ethicon and Medtronic. These firms are at the forefront of developing advanced surgical sutures to enhance patient outcomes.
Their offerings include innovative products such as absorbable sutures, which eliminate the need for removal; barbed sutures, which simplify the surgical process by allowing for secure tissue closure without the need for knots; and antibacterial-coated sutures, which help reduce the risk of postoperative infections. The continuous introduction of these cutting-edge suture technologies plays a crucial role in the evolving landscape of surgical procedures. It underscores the commitment to improving surgical techniques and patient care in the US.

By product, the suture threads segment had the largest market share in the surgical sutures market in 2024.
Suture thread is a critical component for wound closure across various surgical disciplines, thereby securing a substantial share of the surgical sutures market. It plays a vital role in traditional open surgeries and minimally invasive techniques, serving as the cornerstone of any suturing system. The thread's dominance can be attributed to its versatility, the diverse selection of available materials, and ongoing innovations to enhance its performance and efficacy. Advanced suture threads - such as absorbable, non-absorbable, antibacterial-coated, and barbed varieties - have significantly broadened their applicability in general, orthopedic, gynecological, and cardiovascular surgery. Surgeons prefer threads that exhibit high tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and predictable absorption rates. In response, leading manufacturers continually refine these properties to meet the evolving demands of the surgical landscape.By type, the multifilament sutures segment held the largest share in the surgical sutures market in 2024.
The surgical suture market is predominantly characterized by multifilament sutures, owing to their superior handling properties, enhanced knot security, and adaptability across various surgical domains. Comprising multiple braided or twisted strands, multifilament sutures exhibit greater strength and pliability than monofilament options, making them particularly well-suited for precise tissue approximation procedures. Their ease of manipulation and excellent knot retention are crucial in minimizing surgical time, a significant advantage in high-demand operating environments. Furthermore, the soft and flexible nature of multifilament sutures minimizes tissue irritation, rendering them ideal for intricate surgical interventions, including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and gynecological operations.The US is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the North American surgical sutures market during the study period.
The increasing number of surgical procedures can be primarily attributed to two significant factors: an aging population and a high prevalence of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. These conditions often necessitate surgical intervention to manage complications and improve patients' quality of life. As the demographic landscape shifts with a growing elderly population, healthcare systems face heightened demand for surgical solutions. In addition to these demographic trends, the US boasts a sophisticated healthcare infrastructure that includes extensive hospital networks and improved access to surgical care.This accessibility has led to a rise in the number of surgeries performed, reflecting a broader shift towards proactive healthcare management.
