The Global Absorbable Surgical Sutures Market was valued at USD 3 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach USD 5.2 billion by 2034. Market growth is being driven by a sharp rise in the number of surgical procedures worldwide, increasing incidences of chronic illnesses, advancements in suture technology, and a surge in gynecological surgeries. The demand for absorbable sutures is also growing as healthcare systems focus more on minimally invasive techniques, faster recovery timelines, and improved patient outcomes. Continuous improvements in materials and technologies, including innovations in coatings and thread structures, are playing a major role in expanding usage across hospitals, surgical centers, and outpatient facilities globally.
Absorbable surgical sutures are designed to naturally break down within the body, removing the need for manual removal and simplifying postoperative care. Enhanced features such as antimicrobial properties, barbed thread structures, and high-performance polymer blends are helping reduce infection risks and accelerate healing. As more clinical practices adopt these advanced tools, the overall efficiency and patient experience improve, reinforcing the product’s relevance in modern healthcare. Increasing focus on patient comfort and procedure optimization is positioning absorbable sutures as a preferred choice across multiple surgical specialties.
The synthetic sutures segment held 71.4% share in 2024, supported by their reliable absorption profiles, high strength retention, and reduced biological reactivity. Materials like polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA), and polyglycolic acid (PGA) offer surgeons precise control over degradation timelines, allowing tailored support during each phase of wound healing. Their adaptability in both open and minimally invasive procedures makes them a trusted solution in high-precision environments.
The hospitals segment held a 55.2% share in 2024. This dominance is linked to expanding hospital infrastructure, especially in high-growth countries, alongside rising chronic disease burdens and enhanced access to surgical technologies. As healthcare systems evolve, newly built and existing hospitals are prioritizing advanced suturing options to improve outcomes, reduce complication rates, and meet modern surgical standards.
United States Absorbable Surgical Sutures Market generated USD 1.1 billion in 2024. Rising chronic conditions and the need for advanced surgical care continue to elevate demand. With a growing number of cardiovascular, oncological, and general surgeries performed annually, there's a strong shift toward sutures that promote faster recovery, lower infection risks, and minimize patient discomfort through natural absorption.
