U.S. Medical Adhesives and Sealants Market - 2024-2031

Report Overview

The U.S. medical adhesives and sealants market reached US$ 4.43 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 7.29 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Medical adhesives and sealants are chemical formulations commonly used for bonding applications during surgical procedures. They comprise a wide range of fabrication materials and are composed of synthetic and natural formulations suitable for skin and seals.

They became the ideal choice for surgical procedures owing to advantages offered by them such as non-invasiveness and cost-effectiveness.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rising number of surgical procedures

The rising number of surgical procedures along with the growing usage of the product in various surgical procedures such as cardiovascular, dental surgeries, and others is one of the major factors boosting the market growth. It is because their usage is proven to have positive surgical outcomes such as reduced complications, reduced blood loss, and improved time to hemostasis.

For instance, according to the publication by DMC Org. it is estimated that approximately 500,000 people undergo open-heart surgery each year in the United States to correct various cardiovascular diseases.

Additionally, according to the report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2022 it is stated that around 576,485 procedures were performed in 2022. Thus, the increasing number of surgical procedures are expected to drive market growth in the region.

Regulatory Challenges

Stringent regulations and approval processes for medical adhesives and sealants could restrict the products from entering the market. Regulatory agencies impose stringent standards for safety, efficacy, and biocompatibility to ensure that medical adhesives and sealants do not pose risks to patient health.

Segment Analysis

The U.S. medical adhesives and sealants market is segmented based on type, application, end-users and region.

Natural segment is expected to dominate the market growth

The natural medical adhesives and sealants segment is expected to hold a dominant position during the forecast period. The products include fibrin, albumin, collagen, and others. Among all these, collagen is the most commonly used natural medical adhesive and sealant due to its excellent bond strength, elasticity, and biocompatibility. Also, it is a protein constituent in the animal connective tissue and has excellent adhesive properties.

Natural adhesives and sealants are often chosen in medical applications because they are made from natural sources such as proteins, peptides, and polysaccharides. These materials are naturally biocompatible, indicating that they are less likely to cause harm when in contact with body tissues or fluids. Natural adhesives and sealants have a smaller environmental impact than their synthetic equivalents because they are made from renewable resources and are biodegradable.
