Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market Analysis

The Surgical Polypropylene Mesh Market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.40% during the forecast period.

Several factors are expected to drive the market's expansion, including the increasing number of surgeries, rising healthcare expenditure, and technological advancements in surgical polypropylene mesh.

In recent years, a rise has been observed in the number of surgeries, which is expected to increase the demand for surgical polypropylene mesh, propelling market growth. For instance, according to a report published by UpToDate in April 2022, the lifetime prevalence of groin hernias was estimated to be 27% to 43% in males and 3% to 6% in females in 2022. Groin hernias are the most common surgical condition encountered by primary care clinicians, with 1.6 million diagnosed annually and 500,000 undergoing operative repairs in the United States.

Additionally, the same source reported that 20 million groin hernia repairs are performed annually worldwide, with inguinal hernia repair being the most common of all abdominal wall hernia operations. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of hernia cases and related complications is expected to accelerate the market's growth.

A report published by the PubMed Journal in April 2022 reported a prevalence of 1.7% for abdominal wall hernia across all ages. These hernias accounted for 15% to 18% of all surgical procedures, and more than 20 million hernias were operated on worldwide annually. This increasing number of hernia surgeries is expected to promote the high usage of surgical polypropylene mesh and market growth during the forecast period.

Major players in the market are also working on novel growth strategies, such as product approvals and launches, to cater to the rising demand for surgical polypropylene mesh. For instance, in June 2023, the FDA approved Advanced Medical Solutions Limited for LIQUIFIX Hernia Mesh Fixation (HMF) Devices, which include the FIX8 Laparoscopic HMF Device and the Precision Open HMF Device. These innovative devices feature an adhesive preloaded into a single-use, handheld applicator. They are designed to secure prosthetic polypropylene or polyester mesh during laparoscopic and open surgical femoral and inguinal hernias repair.

In conclusion, owing to the rise in hernia cases and the rising product approvals, the market studied is anticipated to grow over the forecast period. However, the risks associated with using mesh are expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period.
