Adhesion Barriers Market Report 2025

This Adhesion Barriers market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The adhesion barriers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.83 billion in 2024 to $0.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of surgical procedures worldwide, rising awareness about postoperative complications and the need for adhesion prevention, growing adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques, expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, enhanced focus on patient safety and reduction of postoperative complications, increased funding and investment in surgical innovations.

The adhesion barriers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the surge in the number of complex and high-risk surgeries, growing preference for minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgeries, rising geriatric population prone to surgical interventions, expansion of healthcare access and surgical facilities in developing regions, increased emphasis on reducing healthcare costs associated with postoperative complications, heightened regulatory support and approval for advanced adhesion barrier products. Major trends in the forecast period include use of biodegradable and bioresorbable adhesion barriers, advancements in adhesion barrier technologies, adoption of personalized adhesion barrier solution, integration of smart and responsive adhesion barriers, use of 3D-printed adhesion barriers, applications in robotic and minimally invasive surgeries.

The increasing incidence of sports-related injuries is expected to drive the growth of the adhesion barriers market in the future. Sports-related injuries refer to physical damage sustained during athletic activities or exercise. This rise in such injuries can be attributed to factors like greater participation in sports, higher levels of competition, inadequate training, and insufficient recovery periods. Adhesion barriers are used in the treatment of sports injuries to prevent scar tissue from adhering to surrounding tissues, promoting a smoother recovery and rehabilitation process. For example, in July 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that in 2021-22, sports involving wheels and various types of football resulted in the highest number of injury-related hospitalizations. Cycling accounted for approximately 8,600 cases, followed by Australian rules football (4,300), roller sports (4,100), and wheeled motor sports (3,800). Thus, the growing number of sports-related injuries is fueling the expansion of the adhesion barriers market.

Leading companies in the adhesion barriers market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as absorbable adhesion barriers, to gain a competitive edge. An absorbable adhesion barrier is a temporary material used during surgery that breaks down gradually and is absorbed by the body, preventing tissue adhesion as healing progresses. For example, in February 2022, Gunze Limited, a Japan-based provider of bioabsorbable medical materials, introduced TENALEAF, an absorbable adhesion barrier, in Japan. TENALEAF provides surgeons with a new option for both open and minimally invasive surgeries, offering easy manipulation, moderate adhesive strength for repositioning, and adaptable placement. The company aims to boost its visibility by showcasing the product’s features and advantages to both surgeons and patients.

In February 2023, Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc, a UK-based medical technology company, acquired Connexicon Medical Limited for $7.49 million (€7 million). This acquisition was intended to strengthen Advanced Medical Solutions' range of adhesion barriers, improve their surgical wound care offerings, and promote innovation in preventing post-surgical adhesions. Connexicon Medical Limited is an Ireland-based medical device company.

Adhesion barriers are medical devices designed to prevent or minimize the formation of scar tissue or adhesions following surgery. Typically placed between tissues or organs, these barriers help reduce postoperative complications and enhance recovery outcomes. By stopping adhesions from forming, they alleviate pain and support better functional recovery after surgery.

Adhesion barriers come in several types natural barriers such as collagen and fibrin, and synthetic ones such as hyaluronic acid, regenerated cellulose, and polyethylene glycol. Natural barriers are derived from substances such as collagen or fibrin and prevent tissues from adhering to each other during and after surgical procedures. These barriers are available in different formulations, including films, gels, and liquids. They are used in various types of surgeries - gynecological, general or abdominal, orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurological, urological, and reconstructive. End users include hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
