The global surgical sutures market size was estimated at USD 4,787.0 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 6,459.4 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2030. The market's growth is anticipated to be driven by increased surgical procedures and advancements in materials and technologies, including smart and antibacterial sutures.
Furthermore, the development of healthcare infrastructure worldwide is boosting the demand for surgical sutures. The demand for wound closure products is rising owing to the growing number of surgical cases and the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds across the globe. According to the data published by Onenessbio in May 2025, approximately 6.3% of adults with diabetes worldwide suffer from diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Such a burden of chronic wounds is anticipated to propel the demand for wound closure devices in the coming years. In addition, the rising incidence of road and traffic accidents worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the wound closure devices market significantly.
Traffic-related injuries often result in severe wounds and trauma that require surgical intervention and effective wound management. According to the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) Annual Report 2024, road crashes claim approximately 1.19 million lives each year and lead to countless severe injuries and long-term disabilities globally. This alarming rate of injuries creates a substantial demand for advanced wound closure solutions. As the burden of traumatic injuries increases, healthcare providers and surgical centers are increasingly seeking reliable and efficient wound closure products to improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. Therefore, the growing prevalence of traffic-related injuries is expected to be a key driver supporting the expansion of the wound closure devices market in the coming years.
The growing number of surgical procedures worldwide is a significant factor driving the expansion of the surgical sutures industry. According to data published by Wellcome Leap Inc. in June 2024, approximately 313 million surgeries are performed annually across the globe. An estimated 143 million more procedures are also needed yearly to meet essential healthcare needs, particularly in low-resource regions. Most traumatic or surgical wounds require skin closure of some kind. Generally, this closure is done by suturing. Therefore, the rising demand for surgical interventions is expected to fuel the growth of surgical sutures in the coming years.
Common surgeries, including cataract operations, corneal transplantation (keratoplasty), and orthopedic procedures like total knee replacements, require surgical sutures. According to data published by the Cleveland Clinic, in October 2025, approximately 185,000 cornea transplant (keratoplasty) surgeries were conducted annually worldwide. As surgical activity continues to rise worldwide, the need for reliable surgical suture solutions is expected to grow accordingly.
