Surgical Sealants and Adhesives Market Report 2025

The surgical sealants and adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.75 billion in 2024 to $2.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to surgical sealants and adhesives market resulted from rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing concerns to reduce surgical wounds, rising demand for minimally invasive techniques, increased healthcare expenditure, and rise in prevalence of cardiovascular disorders.

The surgical sealants and adhesives market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in geriatric population, growing prevalence of accidents, growing cosmetic surgeries, and launch of advanced surgical sealants. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on developing bio-based sealants to increase the usage of renewable raw material, consider investing in strategic acquisitions to increase market shares and expand their product portfolio offerings, invest in innovative products to provide better and enhanced products to consumers, and invest in nano-enabled adhesives and sealants in surgical procedures, as they have unique and superior properties such as high surface area and nanoscale size.

The increasing number of surgical procedures is anticipated to drive the growth of the surgical sealants and adhesives market. In recent years, there has been a continuous rise in surgical procedures, primarily due to the growing prevalence of obesity and other lifestyle-related diseases, the increasing incidence of spinal and sports-related injuries, and a rising geriatric population. Older adults are more susceptible to chronic diseases, heart conditions, and other ailments, often requiring surgical intervention. For example, a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2022 stated that one in six people is expected to be 60 years old or older by 2030 globally. By 2050, this number is projected to reach 2.1 billion individuals worldwide who are 60 years or older.

The surge in the popularity of cosmetic surgeries is a key driver for the growth of the surgical sealants and adhesives market. Cosmetic surgeries involve medical procedures aimed at enhancing an individual's appearance by altering or reshaping specific features of the body. Surgical sealants and adhesives play a vital role in these procedures, ensuring precise tissue bonding and minimizing post-operative scarring. For example, in 2023, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported an 11.2% overall increase in the number of procedures performed by plastic surgeons in 2022, with over 14.9 million surgical procedures conducted worldwide. The increasing trend in cosmetic surgeries is expected to propel the demand for surgical sealants and adhesives.

Several companies within the market are concentrating on expanding their product portfolios into previously untapped geographic regions. For instance, in January 2022, Futura Surgicare Pvt. Ltd., an Indian medical device company, entered into a collaboration with Advanced Medical Solutions Group PLC, a UK-based developer and manufacturer of advanced wound care dressing technologies. This collaboration aimed to broaden Futura Surgicare's wound closure offerings, with a particular focus on the Indian market. Through its new division, Dolphin Adhesives, the company introduced a range of liquid products, including topical skin adhesives such as Exceed, Exceed XS, and Optima. These innovative adhesive solutions are crafted to offer advanced wound closure methods and reduce the risk of adverse surgical outcomes.

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.
