Bioabsorbable surgical mesh is a medical implant crafted from materials that gradually degrade and are absorbed by the body, providing temporary support to tissues during the healing process. These meshes are commonly used in surgeries like hernia repair and soft tissue reinforcement, helping to avoid permanent implants and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
The main categories of bioabsorbable surgical mesh include polymer-based mesh, composite mesh, and bioactive mesh. Polymer-based mesh consists of synthetic polymers such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), or their copolymers. Materials used include polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polycaprolactone, composite materials, and natural polymers. These products are distributed through channels like direct sales, online platforms, distributors, and wholesalers. They find applications in hernia repair, dural repair, urological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, and more, serving end users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, and research institutions.
Tariffs are impacting the bioabsorbable surgical mesh market by increasing costs for imported raw materials such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, and composite biomaterials. Product segments including composite and bioactive meshes are most impacted, particularly in Asia-Pacific and European regions that rely on cross-border material sourcing. These cost pressures have influenced pricing and procurement strategies across hospitals and surgical centers. However, tariffs have also encouraged localized manufacturing, supply chain diversification, and innovation in alternative bioabsorbable materials, supporting long-term market stability.
The bioabsorbable surgical mesh market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides bioabsorbable surgical mesh market statistics, including bioabsorbable surgical mesh industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a bioabsorbable surgical mesh market share, detailed bioabsorbable surgical mesh market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the bioabsorbable surgical mesh industry. This bioabsorbable surgical mesh 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 bioabsorbable surgical mesh market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.25 billion in 2025 to $1.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limitations of permanent surgical mesh, rising hernia and soft tissue repair surgeries, increased awareness of post-surgical complications, growth in hospital-based surgical procedures, early adoption of absorbable polymers.
The bioabsorbable surgical mesh market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.88 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in bioabsorbable polymer materials, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, rising use of bioactive and drug-eluting meshes, growing surgical volume in aging populations, expanding clinical adoption in specialty surgeries. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of bioabsorbable mesh in hernia repair, growing preference for temporary implants over permanent mesh, increasing use of composite and bioactive mesh materials, focus on reducing post-surgical complications and infections, expansion of minimally invasive surgical procedures.
The increasing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the growth of the bioabsorbable surgical mesh market in the coming years. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions that intentionally alter body structures, usually by cutting or repairing tissue, to treat, diagnose, or prevent diseases, injuries, or other conditions. The rise in surgical procedures is mainly due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and obesity-related disorders. Bioabsorbable surgical mesh supports these procedures by providing temporary reinforcement to healing tissues and gradually dissolving, which lowers the risk of long-term complications related to permanent implants. For example, in June 2024, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), a US-based organization for board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons, reported a 5.5% increase in surgical procedures in 2023, with over 15.8 million surgeries and 19.1 million non-surgical procedures performed worldwide. Therefore, the growing volume of surgical procedures is fueling the expansion of the bioabsorbable surgical mesh market.
Key players in the bioabsorbable surgical mesh market are concentrating on creating advanced products like fully bioabsorbable pocket and strap designs to improve ease of placement and fixation during hernia repair surgeries. These designs incorporate absorbable structural components within the mesh, enabling accurate positioning and lateral fixation without the need for permanent implants. For instance, in April 2025, Becton, Dickinson and Company, a US-based medical device firm, introduced the Phasix ST Umbilical Hernia Patch. This is the first fully absorbable hernia patch specifically made for umbilical hernias, featuring a pocket and strap configuration made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a biologically derived polymer. The design mimics the handling and placement of permanent mesh but is entirely absorbed by the body over time. The patch also contains a hydrogel barrier using Sepra Technology to reduce tissue adhesion. Available in various sizes, it addresses a wide range of umbilical hernia defects and meets growing demand for non-permanent, patient-focused solutions in soft tissue reconstruction.
In February 2024, RTI Surgical Inc., a US-based healthcare technology company, completed the acquisition of Cook Biotech Incorporated for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, RTI Surgical seeks to strengthen its regenerative medicine contract development and manufacturing capabilities by incorporating Cook Biotech's porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) platform and biomaterials into its allograft and xenograft offerings. Cook Biotech Incorporated is a US-based biotechnology firm that focuses on developing and producing SIS-derived extracellular matrix scaffolds and biomaterial products for a wide range of clinical applications.
