Ventral hernia treatment involves medical procedures and interventions to repair hernias occurring in the abdominal wall. Common approaches include robotic-assisted surgery, tension-free mesh repair, and laparoscopic intraperitoneal techniques. The goal of treatment is to reposition displaced tissues, reinforce the abdominal wall, and prevent recurrence, ultimately relieving pain, restoring normal function, and reducing complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation.
The primary types of ventral hernia treatment include epigastric (stomach area) hernia, umbilical (belly button) hernia, and incisional hernia. An epigastric hernia occurs when fatty tissue pushes through a weakened area in the upper abdominal wall between the sternum and the belly button. Diagnosis is performed using ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment options include various surgical procedures such as open hernia surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic hernia surgery. These treatments are utilized in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and clinics.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The ventral hernia treatment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ventral hernia treatment market statistics, including ventral hernia treatment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ventral hernia treatment market share, detailed ventral hernia treatment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ventral hernia treatment industry. This ventral hernia treatment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The ventral hernia treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.87 billion in 2024 to $5.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of obesity, increasing awareness about ventral hernias, growing aging population, rising disposable income, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures.
The ventral hernia treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for outpatient procedures, rising spend on healthcare, increasing government initiatives, rising demand for hernia repair surgeries, increasing investment in research and development. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced hernia repair devices, bioabsorbable materials, strategic collaboration, robotic-assisted surgery devices, remote monitoring.
The forecast of 7.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could hinder U.S. surgical outcomes by inflating prices of synthetic mesh implants and robotic hernia repair systems developed in France and South Korea, resulting in delayed procedures and higher general surgery costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising prevalence of obesity is significantly contributing to the growth of the ventral hernia treatment market. Obesity, a condition characterized by excessive body fat, increases the risk of ventral hernias due to the added strain on the abdominal wall. Factors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and lack of physical activity have led to an increase in obesity rates worldwide. Ventral hernia treatment plays a crucial role in managing complications associated with obesity by alleviating abdominal strain, reducing hernia recurrence risk, and improving overall abdominal strength. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of March 2024, one in eight people globally were struggling with obesity, including 2.5 billion overweight adults, with 890 million classified as obese. Additionally, 37 million children under the age of five were reported to be overweight. This growing obesity epidemic is expected to drive demand for ventral hernia treatments.
Technological advancements in hernia treatment are further propelling market growth. Companies are developing innovative solutions, such as laparoscopic and open hernia mesh fixation devices, to improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Laparoscopic and open hernia mesh fixation devices secure mesh during hernia repair surgeries, either through minimally invasive (laparoscopic) or traditional open approaches. In March 2024, TELA Bio Inc. introduced LIQUIFIX FIX8 and LIQUIFIX Precision in the U.S. The LIQUIFIX FIX8 device is designed for minimally invasive hernia repairs, while LIQUIFIX Precision is optimized for open femoral and inguinal hernia procedures. These FDA-approved devices utilize liquid anchors to secure mesh without penetrating tissue, thereby reducing trauma and minimizing complications. Given that over 1.2 million hernia procedures are performed annually in the U.S., such advancements offer safer and more precise treatment options.
