The global adhesion barriers market size reached USD 1,112.7 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,903.2 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.84% during 2025-2033. The increasing applications of these film-based medical implants in cardiovascular, reconstructive, and urological surgeries are bolstering the market.
Growing Surgical Procedures
The increasing incidence of conditions requiring surgery, such as gynecological, cardiovascular, and orthopedic disorders, is catalyzing the market. Moreover, the inflating need for reducing the formation of scar tissue that can lead to pain, complications, and additional surgeries is also acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For example, in April 2024, FzioMed, Inc. showcased its innovative Oxiplex adhesion barrier gel product portfolio designed to minimize the formation of post-surgical adhesions following laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery at Hysteroscopy, Assisted Reproductive Technology, and Ultrasound (HARTUS) congress in Rome, Italy. This is escalating the adhesion barriers market demand.
Increasing Technological Advancements
The rising adoption of biologics, along with the improvements in bioresorbable materials, are stimulating the market. They offer reduced inflammatory responses, better tissue compatibility, and easier application during surgical procedures. For instance, in February 2024, scientists at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard created a versatile and simple method to effectively bond layers made of the same or different types of hydrogels and other polymeric materials using a thin film of chitosan, which is expanding adhesion barriers market share.
Rising Novel Medical Treatment
The inflating healthcare expenditure capacities are strengthening the market. Apart from this, the increasing focus on providing better access to healthcare services is further providing a positive outlook to the market. For example, in May 2024, three projects from Radboud University Medical Center received funding from the BeNeFIT program, a collaboration between ZonMW and KCE. All three projects involve major clinical studies conducted in several hospitals across Belgium and the Netherlands. These studies focus on psychiatry, surgery, and intensive care.
Synthetic dominates the market
Synthetic adhesion barriers represent engineered materials that prevent post-surgical adhesions. One such example is REPEL-CV, a bioresorbable adhesion barrier designed for utilization in cardiovascular surgeries, which is increasing the adhesion barriers market outlook.
The film holds the majority of the global adhesion barriers market revenue
Film adhesion barriers are aimed at improving efficacy and patient outcomes. A significant launch is the GYNECARE INTERCEED absorbable adhesion barrier.
Gynecological surgeries dominate the adhesion barriers market statistics
The rising focus on preventing the formation of adhesions that can lead to complications is driving the segment's growth. PREVADH(R) absorbable adhesion barrier introduced by FzioMed is gaining extensive traction, as it is easy to handle.
North America exhibits a clear dominance in the market
The market research report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America (the United States and Canada); Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and others); Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and others); Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and others); and the Middle East and Africa. According to the report, North America accounted for the largest market share.
As per the adhesion barriers market overview, the widespread surgical procedures are acting as significant growth-inducing factors. For example, the REPEL-CV adhesion barrier by SyntheMed is specifically designed for cardiovascular surgeries.
