Partially Absorbable Mesh Global Market Report 2025

The partially absorbable mesh market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.58 billion in 2024 to $1.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. This historical growth has been supported by an increasing demand for innovative surgical solutions, expanded use of hybrid and composite meshes, a global rise in surgical procedures, growing healthcare spending, and heightened emphasis on improving biocompatibility and reducing complications following surgery.

The partially absorbable mesh market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. Factors expected to drive this growth include increased adoption of robotic and minimally invasive surgeries, greater collaboration between medical device firms and healthcare facilities, a rising incidence of chronic conditions that necessitate soft tissue repair, a growing focus on achieving improved patient outcomes, and heightened efforts to minimize recovery time and surgical risks. Key trends anticipated during this period include the development of advanced biomaterials for improved biocompatibility, new mesh architectures to promote optimal tissue integration, innovations in anti-adhesion coatings, the emergence of smart materials enabling controlled degradation, and continued progress in minimally invasive surgical methods.

The growing incidence of hernias is expected to drive the expansion of the partially absorbable mesh market. A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue, often causing discomfort or pain. This rise is primarily attributed to increasing obesity rates, which exert additional pressure on abdominal muscles, weakening them and making hernias more likely. Partially absorbable mesh is used in hernia repair as it offers both long-lasting support and materials that promote healing, helping to reduce the risk of chronic complications. For example, in March 2024, the American Society of Anesthesiologists reported that more than 20 million hernia repair surgeries are conducted globally each year, with approximately 800,000 inguinal hernia cases annually in the United States, predominantly among men aged 75 to 80. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of hernias is contributing significantly to market growth.

Key companies in the partially absorbable mesh market are emphasizing the development of advanced solutions, such as composite meshes, to improve patient outcomes, enhance biocompatibility, and reduce complications following surgery. Composite meshes, composed of both absorbable and non-absorbable materials, are designed to offer durable support while also promoting healing in procedures such as hernia repairs. For instance, in February 2022, Futura Surgicare Pvt Ltd, an India-based manufacturer of wound closure devices, introduced a range of advanced composite surgical meshes. These meshes are specifically designed for tension-free and laparoscopic hernia repairs, offering both permanent and temporary support. Among them, the Monosolve mesh combines polyglycolide-co-caprolactone (PGCL) with polypropylene, enhancing flexibility and promoting healing.

In January 2024, RTI Surgical, a US-based medical technology firm, acquired Cook Biotech for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to bolster RTI Surgical’s capabilities in regenerative soft tissue repair by incorporating Cook Biotech’s advanced porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) platform. Cook Biotech, also based in the US, manufactures various surgical meshes, including partially absorbable types.

A partially absorbable mesh refers to a surgical implant that is composed of both absorbable and non-absorbable components. The absorbable portion gradually degrades and is absorbed by the body after offering initial support during tissue recovery, while the non-absorbable part remains in place permanently to provide ongoing structural reinforcement and minimize the likelihood of complications. This configuration is intended to limit the amount of permanent foreign material in the body while still delivering sufficient support for tissue healing.

The primary product types in the partially absorbable mesh category include polypropylene mesh, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mesh, composite mesh, biologic mesh, and others. Polypropylene mesh is a synthetic mesh produced from polypropylene, a type of plastic. These meshes are available in a variety of material compositions such as synthetic, natural, hybrid, coated, and others. They are distributed through several channels, including direct sales, distributors, online platforms, medical supply companies, and others. The meshes are used in applications like hernia repair, pelvic organ prolapse repair, abdominal wall reconstruction, cardiac procedures, and more, serving a broad range of end users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, research institutions, and others.
