HERNIA REPAIR DEVICES MARKET ANALYSIS

A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or a group of organs. It occurs when an organ or any other bodily component protrudes beyond the wall of tissue or muscle that surrounds the organs and becomes visible. The presence of hernia symptoms including vomiting, discomfort, and constipation as well as other symptoms might be noted while participating in particular activities such as jogging or walking. Inguinal hernias, umbilical hernias, femoral hernias, incisional hernias, spigelian hernias, obturator hernias, hiatal hernias, epigastric hernias, and diaphragmatic hernias are all examples of abdominal wall hernias. The majority of hernias are not serious, and they may be repaired surgically to avoid additional difficulties.

Global hernia repair devices market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7,275.7 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Increasing geriatric population is expected to boost demand for hernia repair devices and is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing geriatric population is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to Rural Health Information Hub, a U. S. government organization, as of June, 2019, there are more than 46 million adults with age 65 and older living in the U.S. and by 2050, that number is expected to grow to almost 90 million. Thus, increase in the geriatric population is expected to drive the market growth for the forecast period.

Global Hernia Repair Devices Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs and vaccines, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others, faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another. COVID-19 had limited impact on the global hernia repair devices market as hospitals were occupied by COVID-19 patients.

Global Hernia Repair Devices Market: Key Developments

In July, 2020, researchers from University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania, reported that hydrogel coatings based on methacryloyl gelatin and methacryloyl mucin have potential to modulate polypropylene mesh integration in abdominal wall repair.

Global Hernia Repair Devices Market: Restraint

Stringent regulatory approval process is expected to hinder growth of the global hernia repair devices market.

Moreover, high cost of R&D (research and development) of hernia repair devices is also expected to limit the market growth. A manufacturer of hernia repair device has to satisfy various regulatory and clinical requirements before launching the product. This prolonged phase of development and approvals forces medical device manufacturers to maintain initial high cost of hernia repair devices. High cost of products results in lack of appropriate accessibility to various technological advancements, thereby hampering the uptake.

Key Players

Major players operating in the global hernia repair devices market include Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., Cooper Companies Inc., Lifecell Corporation (Allergan Plc), W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., Maquet Holding B.V. & Co. KG, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Medtronic Plc, Cook Medical Inc., Baxter International Inc., and B. Braun Melsungen AG.
