The ventral hernia mesh devices market size was estimated at USD 839.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.48% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing cases of hernias, technological advancements in mesh repair, a shift towards preventive healthcare, and a growing preference for minimally invasive procedures are the factors affecting the market's growth.
There is a significant rise in the number of skin cancer cases globally, which drives the need for advanced solutions to facilitate better cancer care. According to the U.S. FDA, over a million hernia repair procedures are performed annually in the U.S.
Hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. The incidence of hernia is higher in men than in women. According to Verywell Health, approximately 20% of adults will develop a primary ventral hernia, which is expected to rise to about 30% following surgery. This disorder is associated with risk factors such as obesity, smoking, unhealthy lifestyle, and age. About 75% of all hernias occur in the groin in adults each year, leading to an increase in the adoption of hernia repair devices. The high incidence of hernia is boosting the demand for efficient hernia repair, which is expected to fuel the market growth.
The International Surgery Journal also reports that incisional and para-umbilical hernias represent 85% of all ventral hernias. Moreover, umbilical hernias are more prevalent in males (65%) than females (35%), primarily because congenital umbilical hernias are less common in females.
As the global population ages, a larger pool of people at higher risk for hernias exists. This led to a rise in reported cases, even if the actual incidence per capita remains stable. Advancements in medical imaging, like ultrasounds and CT scans, make it easier and more common to detect hernias, even those without symptoms. This leads to an impression of increased prevalence as previously undetected cases are now being identified. Certain lifestyle choices can also increase the risk of developing a hernia. These include obesity, chronic cough, and heavy lifting. In addition, public health campaigns and readily available medical information make people more aware of hernias and their symptoms. This led to more people seeking medical attention and getting diagnosed, contributing to a perceived rise in cases.
High incidence of hernia globally and improved patient outcomes by using meshes, which reduce operative and recovery time, are some factors expected to propel market growth. Some advantages of using meshes in hernia repair are alleviating pain and reducing the chances of recurrence. For instance, according to data published by Northeast Georgia Health System, using mesh in hernia repairs can reduce the chances of recurrence by up to 50%. In the U.S., the standard practice is employing mesh for ventral, incisional, and inguinal hernia repairs.
In addition, mesh repair devices are elastic and have an adaptable shape that matches the changing dynamics of the abdominal walls. The large pores in the mesh allow lower foreign body reaction and better & faster soft tissue ingrowth, resulting in flexible scar formation. Thus, these benefits of using mesh in hernia surgeries are anticipated to promote market growth.
Mesh can be used in both open and laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic procedures with mesh offer faster recovery times, less pain, and smaller incisions than traditional open repairs without mesh, thereby surging market demand for hernia mesh devices.
Technological advancements in hernia mesh devices have significantly improved patient outcomes and reduced complications. One notable innovation is the development of lightweight and composite meshes. These meshes, such as Parietex Composite Mesh, combine absorbable and non-absorbable materials, providing strength while reducing postoperative discomfort and the risk of chronic pain. For instance, in March 2024, Deep Blue Medical Advances, Inc. introduced the T-Line Hernia Mesh, which helps prevent the recurrence of hernias after abdominal hernia repair surgery.
