Automated Suturing Devices - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts 2019 - 2029

The automated suturing devices market is projected to register a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period.

The healthcare system has witnessed enormous challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All outpatient treatments were postponed or restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the risk of viral transmission, as most chronic therapies were regarded as non-urgent. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of digital technologies in the hospital sector increased significantly due to the lack of healthcare personnel. An article published in the Seminars in Vascular Surgery journal in September 2021 discussed the acceptance and acceleration of telemedicine, remote monitoring, digital health technology, and three-dimensional technologies, such as three-dimensional printing and virtual reality, face-to-face surgical simulation, and training. The article indicated that automated surgical devices have risen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such developments during the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to propel the growth of the automatic suturing devices market. Automated suturing devices have demonstrated the ability to enhance health outcomes during the pandemic, hospitals realize the advantage of automated suturing devices over manual suturing devices. Hence, the demand for automated suturing devices increased, eventually driving market growth.

The recent increase in the number of surgeries and the rise in the number of accident and trauma cases all over the world are the major factors attributing to the growth of the automated suturing devices market in the forecast period. According to the Royal College of Surgeons of England data on the surgeries in England published in May 2021, there were around 4.95 million people in England waiting for surgery. The large number of surgeries to be performed is expected to add to the growth of the automated suturing devices market in the forecast period. Additionally, according to the World Health Organization data on Road Traffic Injuries published in June 2021, around 20 to 50 million people suffer from nonfatal injuries, most of which require surgery for treatment. Such a large number of accidents requiring surgeries are expected to boost the growth of the automated suturing market in the forecast period.

Moreover, in January 2022, Endomina, an endoscopic medical suture device developed by Endo Tools Therapeutics, was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for endoscopic placement of sutures in the gastrointestinal tract in adult population.. Such developments for automated sutures are likely to amplify the growth of the automated suturing devices market in the forecast period.

Therefore, the factors mentioned above are attributed collectively to the studied market growth over the forecast period. However, the reduced product availability and the lack of skilled professionals, along with the high cost of the devices are likely to hinder the growth of the automated suturing devices market in the forecast period.

Automated Suturing Devices Market Trends

The Disposable Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Automated Suturing Devices Market.

Disposable automated suturing devices hold a significant share of the automated suturing devices market, owing to the rising number of surgical procedures. An article published in the Journal of Innovations in June 2021 discussed the advantages of automated suture fasteners over manually tied sutures. The study indicated that using a disposable automated suture fastener, COR-KNOT, resulted in shorter Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Aorta Cross Clamp times, which can greatly help surgeons. The increasing use of such disposable devices is expected to add to the growth of the disposable automated suturing devices segment in the studied market during the forecast period.

Several research and development programs are being made on automated suturing devices, which are useful in the growth of the market. In December 2021, researchers at the University of New South Wales Medical Robotics Lab developed smart sutures to speed up wound recovery, which does not need human intervention and automatically tightens the wound opening. Such innovations are likely to boost the growth of the automated suturing devices market over the forecast period.

Thus, the abovementioned factor is expected to drive segmental growth in the market during the forecast period.

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period.

North America is expected to hold a significant share of the overall market throughout the forecast period due to better regulations of surgical devices and growing awareness among the population to approach surgeries in case of injuries and chronic disease problems. For instance, according to the April 2021 data of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, 350,000 CABG surgeries are performed annually in the United States. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders and obesity rates is attributed to the market's growth in this region. Furthermore, according to the CDC's 2022 update, 18.2 million adults had coronary artery disease, and approximately 70% of these patients underwent surgery. The United States records nearly 35 million hospital stays each year. Hence, this rise in hospital stays and surgeries is expected to drive the market's growth.

Furthermore, an increasing number of injuries due to road accidents in the United States resulted in increased surgical procedures, thereby increasing the usage of surgical blades. According to the data published in March 2022 by ASIRT, annually, 4.4 million Americans are injured seriously enough to require medical attention in the United States.

Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to boost the market's growth in North America over the forecast period.
