Automated suturing devices are sophisticated surgical tools designed to perform suturing tasks with minimal manual intervention. These devices use automated mechanisms to place and secure sutures, improving precision, efficiency, and consistency during surgical procedures. They help streamline the suturing process, reduce operation time, and enhance patient outcomes by minimizing human error and optimizing suture placement.
The primary types of automated suturing devices are reusable and disposable. Reusable devices are intended for multiple uses after proper cleaning and sterilization. They are applied in various settings, including open heart surgery, minimally invasive surgery, trauma care, and more, and are used across different end-users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
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 increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The automated suturing devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automated suturing devices market statistics, including automated suturing devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a automated suturing devices market share, detailed automated suturing devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automated suturing devices industry. This automated suturing devices 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 automated suturing devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.22 billion in 2024 to $3.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing surgical procedures, advancements in minimally invasive surgeries, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, technological innovations, aging population, improved healthcare infrastructure, and surge in cosmetic surgeries.
The automated suturing devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising incidence of accidents and trauma, growing adoption of robotic surgery, focus on reducing surgical complications, increased healthcare spending, surge in outpatient surgeries, government initiatives, and growing awareness and training programs. Major trends in the forecast period include integration with robotic systems, development of smart suturing devices, miniaturization of devices, use of biodegradable sutures, incorporation of AI and machine learning, enhanced ergonomics and user-friendly designs, and expansion into emerging markets.
The forecast of 7.7% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for precision needle drivers from Italy and absorbable suture materials from Ireland, potentially prolonging surgical procedure times.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 increasing frequency of accidents and trauma cases is expected to drive the growth of the automated suturing devices market in the coming years. Accidents and trauma cases involve unforeseen events that lead to physical injury or harm to individuals. The rise in such incidents can be attributed to factors such as urbanization, more widespread vehicle use, hazardous work environments, and high-risk behaviors. Automated suturing devices play a critical role in improving the efficiency of surgical procedures for trauma and accident cases, enhancing patient outcomes, reducing surgery duration, and lowering the likelihood of complications. For example, in May 2023, a report from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE), an Australian organization, revealed that road crash fatalities in 2022 reached 1,194, marking a 5.8% increase from 2021. As such, the growing number of accidents and trauma cases is contributing to the expansion of the automated suturing devices market.
Leading companies in the automated suturing devices market are focusing on developing advanced products like suture delivery canisters to improve surgical efficiency and safety. Suture delivery canisters are designed to prevent needle loss, reduce manual handling, and enhance safety by securely containing discarded needles. For example, in February 2023, Origami Surgical Inc., a US-based medical device manufacturer, received expanded FDA approval for its StitchKit device, allowing its use with any existing 8mm trocar incision during robotic-assisted surgeries. This update enables the device to be compatible with smaller trocars, which are increasingly used as procedures move towards smaller port sizes. The StitchKit device includes all necessary sutures and a SHARPS container for safe needle disposal, reducing needle loss risk and minimizing needle transfers. At the end of the procedure, the StitchKit can be removed along with the trocar using a retrieval string, simplifying the process and improving surgical outcomes.
In April 2023, Boston Scientific Corporation, a US-based medical technology firm, acquired Apollo Endosurgery Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Boston Scientific's capabilities in endoluminal surgery (ELS) and endobariatrics. Apollo Endosurgery Inc. is a US-based company specializing in minimally invasive devices, including automated suturing devices.
