Hernia Repair Devices Market, By Product (Mesh, Suture, and Mesh Fixator), By Procedure (Open Surgery and Laparoscopic Surgery), By Clinical Indication (Inguinal Hernia, Ventral Hernia, Femoral Hernia, Hiatial Hernia, and Other Clinical Indications), By End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Specialty Clinics, and Others), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa)
The rising geriatric population that is more prone to hernia conditions will continue driving demand. Age-related weakening of abdominal muscles increases the risk of hernias. North America currently dominates due to increasing obese population and technological advancements in hernia repair techniques. However, Asia Pacific is expected to report the fastest growth owing to growing medical tourism and rising healthcare expenditure in China and India.
Laparoscopic hernia repair procedures are gaining prominence among both patients and surgeons compared to open surgeries. Minimal invasive nature and advantages like reduced post-surgery pain and higher success rates will support usage of laparoscopic mesh and other devices. Absorbable as well as non-absorbable synthetic meshes are widely adopted. However, the risk of adhesion and infection with synthetic meshes has led to innovative R&D towards biologic mesh. New product launches addressing unmet needs around easy implantation and improved biocompatibility could further aid market expansion.
On the other hand, stringent regulatory approvals and quality standards along with high cost of specialized hernia repair devices continue restricting market growth to some extent. Lack of awareness in developing regions also poses challenges. However, initiatives by industry players towards training medical professionals and improving access in rural areas will help address such restraints going forward.
