The partially absorbable mesh market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.72 billion in 2025 to $1.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on non-absorbable mesh materials, limited availability of hybrid mesh, growing surgical interventions for hernia and pelvic organ prolapse, increasing demand for abdominal wall reconstruction, awareness of post-surgical complications.
The partially absorbable mesh market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to innovation in composite and biologic mesh, rising preference for minimally invasive surgeries, expansion of specialty clinics and ambulatory surgical centers, increasing investment in surgical research and development, adoption of coated and dual-layer mesh for improved outcomes. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of partially absorbable mesh in hernia and pelvic repairs, development of hybrid mesh materials for improved biocompatibility, growth in minimally invasive surgical procedures, increasing focus on reducing post-surgical complications, expansion of research and development in advanced surgical implants.
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.
Major companies operating in the partially absorbable mesh market are focusing on innovative solutions such as composite meshes to improve patient outcomes, enhance biocompatibility, and reduce post-surgical complications. Composite meshes are surgical implants made from a combination of absorbable and non-absorbable materials, providing both long-term structural support and improved biocompatibility for procedures like hernia repair. For example, in April 2025, W. L. Gore & Associates, a U.S.-based manufacturer of medical implantable devices, launched the GORE SYNECOR Preperitoneal Biomaterial across Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa. This next-generation composite surgical mesh is designed for tension-free, minimally invasive hernia repairs, offering permanent structural support alongside temporary tissue reinforcement. The mesh combines a permanent polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer with a bioabsorbable polyglycolide-co-trimethylene carbonate (PGA:TMC) scaffold, promoting tissue integration, vascularization, and improved postoperative 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.
Major companies operating in the partially absorbable mesh market are Johnson And Johnson, Medtronic plc, Medline Industries Inc, Integra LifeSciences Corporation, Meril Life Sciences Pvt Ltd, B Braun Melsungen AG, Gore Medical, Demetech Corporation, TELA Bio Inc, pfm Medical AG, AFS Medical, Dolphin Mesh, Lotus Surgicals Pvt Ltd, KATSAN Medical Devices, Betatech Medical, Orion Sutures India Pvt Ltd, Vitrex Medical A S, BioHealth Medical Tech, Assut Europe S p A, Herniamesh Srl, FEG Textiltechnik mbH.

This partially absorbable mesh market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
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.
The partially absorbable mesh market consists of sales of hydrogel-coated partially absorbable mesh, polycaprolactone (PCL)-blended mesh, polydioxanone (PDO)-based mesh, lactide-co-glycolide mesh (PLGA mesh), monofilament partially absorbable mesh, and hybrid silk-based mesh. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
