The surgical sealants and adhesives market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.96 billion in 2025 to $3.29 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing number of surgical interventions, rising emphasis on reducing surgical complications, growing adoption of advanced wound closure techniques, expansion of hospital surgical capacity, improved availability of biological materials.
The surgical sealants and adhesives market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for minimally invasive surgical solutions, rising focus on faster patient recovery, expansion of regenerative medicine applications, increasing investment in advanced biomaterials, growing preference for non-suture closure methods. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of bio-based sealants, rising demand for sutureless wound closure solutions, growing use of absorbable adhesives, expansion of hemostatic sealant applications, enhanced focus on tissue-compatible formulations.
The growing demand for cosmetic surgical procedures is expected to support the expansion of the surgical sealants and adhesives market in the coming years. Cosmetic surgeries are clinical interventions focused on improving physical appearance by modifying or enhancing specific body features. Their increasing popularity is largely driven by a stronger societal focus on aesthetics, influenced by social media exposure and celebrity culture, which has normalized and encouraged aesthetic enhancements. Surgical sealants and adhesives are essential in cosmetic procedures, as they enable accurate tissue adhesion, reduce the need for sutures, and help minimize post-operative scarring. For example, in April 2025, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, women represented 93.5% of all cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2024, totaling 25,663 procedures, which marked a 6% increase compared to 2023. Eyelid surgery recorded the highest growth at 15%, while breast augmentation remained the most performed procedure, with 5,202 surgeries, reflecting a 6% year-on-year rise. Consequently, the increasing adoption of cosmetic surgeries is contributing to the growth of the surgical sealants and adhesives market.
Major companies in the surgical sealants and adhesives market are creating innovative products, such as biodegradable wound sealants, aimed at reducing the need for follow-up procedures and minimizing infection risk. Biodegradable wound sealants are medical adhesives composed of natural or synthetic materials that break down over time, facilitating wound healing without the necessity for removal. For example, in March 2023, Animus Surgical, a US-based provider of veterinary products, introduced the Membra biodegradable hydrogel wound sealant. Membra is a transparent, non-toxic, biodegradable hydrogel polymer that acts as an alternative to traditional bandages for various species, including horses, companion animals, and aquatic animals. When applied as a liquid, it quickly transforms into a thin, flexible layer that adheres to open wounds, irregular surfaces, and suture lines. Within minutes, Membra forms a water-resistant barrier that protects the wound and lasts up to 14 days before naturally biodegrading, thereby eliminating the need for bandaging and reducing post-care interventions.
In July 2023, H.B. Fuller Company, a US-based adhesives and specialty chemical firm, acquired Adhezion Biomedical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strategically positions H.B. Fuller to expand within the medical adhesives industry, creating a robust platform for scaling and innovation in the $8 billion healthcare adhesives market. By acquiring Adhezion Biomedical, H.B. Fuller gains entry into new markets, diversifies its portfolio, and significantly enhances its capabilities in medical adhesives, marking a pivotal milestone in its commitment to delivering greater value to customers worldwide. Adhezion Biomedical is a US-based company specializing in the manufacture of surgical sealants and adhesives.
