Surgical Sealants and Adhesives Global Market Report 2024

The surgical sealants and adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.59 billion in 2023 to $2.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The historical period witnessed growth in the surgical sealants and adhesives market, driven by factors such as the escalating prevalence of chronic diseases, growing emphasis on minimizing surgical wounds, increasing demand for minimally invasive techniques, a surge in healthcare expenditure, and an uptick in the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders.

The surgical sealants and adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for the surgical sealants and adhesives market can be attributed to factors such as the increasing geriatric population, a rise in the prevalence of accidents, a growing number of cosmetic surgeries, and the introduction of advanced surgical sealants. Noteworthy trends expected during this period include a focus on the development of bio-based sealants to promote the utilization of renewable raw materials, strategic investments in acquisitions to bolster market shares and broaden product portfolios, investments in innovative products to offer improved solutions to consumers, and investments in nano-enabled adhesives and sealants for surgical procedures, leveraging their unique and superior properties such as high surface area and nanoscale size.

The growth of the surgical sealants and adhesives market is expected to be influenced by the increasing number of surgical procedures. Recent years have seen a consistent rise in surgical interventions, attributed to factors such as the growing prevalence of obesity and lifestyle diseases, a higher incidence of spinal and sports-related injuries, and an expanding geriatric population. The elderly population, being more susceptible to chronic and heart diseases, is undergoing an increasing number of surgical procedures. According to the World Health Organization, the global population over the age of 65 is projected to increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 2.1 billion by 2050.

The surge in the popularity of cosmetic surgeries is a key driver for the growth of the surgical sealants and adhesives market. Cosmetic surgeries involve medical procedures aimed at enhancing an individual's appearance by altering or reshaping specific features of the body. Surgical sealants and adhesives play a vital role in these procedures, ensuring precise tissue bonding and minimizing post-operative scarring. For example, in 2023, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported an 11.2% overall increase in the number of procedures performed by plastic surgeons in 2022, with over 14.9 million surgical procedures conducted worldwide. The increasing trend in cosmetic surgeries is expected to propel the demand for surgical sealants and adhesives.

Several companies within the market are concentrating on expanding their product portfolios into previously untapped geographic regions. For instance, in January 2022, Futura Surgicare Pvt. Ltd., an Indian medical device company, entered into a collaboration with Advanced Medical Solutions Group PLC, a UK-based developer and manufacturer of advanced wound care dressing technologies. This collaboration aimed to broaden Futura Surgicare's wound closure offerings, with a particular focus on the Indian market. Through its new division, Dolphin Adhesives, the company introduced a range of liquid products, including topical skin adhesives such as Exceed, Exceed XS, and Optima. These innovative adhesive solutions are crafted to offer advanced wound closure methods and reduce the risk of adverse surgical outcomes.

Major players in the surgical sealants and adhesives market are directing their efforts towards the development of innovative products, such as absorbable adhesives, to gain a competitive advantage. Absorbable adhesives are crucial components in surgical sealants and adhesives as they gradually dissolve within the body, promoting effective tissue closure and healing. For example, in February 2021, Gunze Limited, a Japanese provider of bioabsorbable products and materials, launched TENALEAF, Japan's inaugural sheet-type absorbable adhesion barrier. Tailored for medical professionals, this product is designed to prevent adhesions in surgical procedures. Adhesion barriers are employed in various surgical procedures to prevent the formation of scar tissue and adhesions, which can lead to complications and post-operative pain.

In December 2021, Becton, Dickinson and Company, a US-based medical technology company, acquired Tissuemed, Ltd., for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enhances BD’s core portfolio and strengthens its position in the surgical sealants market. Tissuemed is a surgical sealants manufacturer based in England.
