The global surgical stapling devices market was valued at US$5.23 billion in 2023. The market value is expected to reach US$8.32 billion by 2029. Surgical stapling devices are specialized instruments used in surgical procedures to staple tissues or organs, as well as to make incisions or cut through tissues. These instruments work by applying a sequence of small staples to firmly close tissues and blood vessels, which ensures accurate closures.
One of the primary drivers of this expansion is the increasing shift towards minimally invasive procedures, which offer benefits such as reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and lower risk of infection. Additionally, upsurge in healthcare expenditure and investments in innovative surgical technologies have further propelled market growth. Increased access to healthcare services, including surgical operations, is the result of the expansion of the healthcare infrastructure in emerging nations. In turn, this has increased demand for surgical stapling devices, fueling market expansion. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approx. 8% during the forecasted period of 2024-2029.
