Market Challenges: Risk of surgical site infections associated with sutures

One of the major factors restraining the growth of the global sutures market is the risk of surgical site infections associated with sutures. Surgical site infections occur when bacteria or other microorganisms enter through an incision or surgical wound and cause an infection. For instance, according to data published on January 17, 2023 by the American Medical Association, approximately 0.5% to 3% of patients undergoing surgery will experience infection at or adjacent to the surgical incision site. Compared to patients undergoing surgery who do not have a surgical site infection, those with a surgical site infection are hospitalized approximately 7 to 11 days longer.

Market Opportunities: Increasing research and development activities

Increasing research and development activities create huge opportunities for growth in the global sutures market. For instance, according to data published on February 14, 2023 by Institute of Physics, a team at RMIT University, a public research university in Australia is developing an antimicrobial suture that could play an important role in preventing such infections. The smart suture is also designed to be visible in Computed Tomography (CT) scans, enabling wound monitoring after surgery and enhancing patient recovery.
