Global Hernia Repair Devices Market - 2024 - 2031

Report Overview

Global Hernia Repair Devices Market reached US$ 4.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 11.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Hernia repair devices are medical tools used in the surgical treatment of hernias, where an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the muscle or tissue wall. These devices, such as meshes, sutures, tacks, and patches, reinforce the weakened area and prevent recurrence. Meshes, typically made from synthetic or biological materials, provide structural support and promote tissue integration. Sutures and tacks secure the mesh during surgery. Hernia repair devices are crucial in both open and minimally invasive procedures, restoring normal anatomy and improving patient outcomes by reducing hernia recurrence and postoperative complications.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in advancements of devices

Recent advancements in hernia repair devices have significantly improved surgical outcomes, reduced recovery times, and minimized the risk of complications.

Advancements in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgical techniques have led to more precise mesh placement with smaller incisions, reducing post-operative pain and speeding up recovery times. 3D imaging and augmented reality have improved the accuracy of hernia repairs. Innovations in fixation devices, like self-fixating meshes, reduce tissue damage and postoperative pain. These advancements, combined with ongoing research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, are paving the way for more effective, less invasive hernia repair options with better long-term outcomes and enhanced patient comfort.

Complications associated with the devices

The market for hernia repair devices faces challenges due to adverse effects such as pain, infection, recurrence, adhesion, bowel obstruction, and organ perforation. The British Journal of Surgery reports reduced adhesion for a week, but no adhesion prevention after a month. The FDA reports recalled mesh leading to bowel preformation and obstruction, and Ethicon physio mesh implant migration causing excessive pain and severe damage.

Market Segment Analysis

The global hernia repair devices market is segmented based on product type, hernia type, end user, and region.

The mesh & patch from the product type segment accounted for approximately 41.3% of the hernia repair devices market share

The mesh & patch from the product type segment accounted for approximately 41.3%. Mesh and patches are essential in hernia repair surgeries, providing additional support to weakened or damaged tissue and reinforcing the abdominal wall. Meshes, typically made from synthetic materials like polypropylene or polyester, are placed over or under the weakened area to distribute mechanical stress across the abdominal wall and support the healing process. Patches, smaller, flat pieces used for less extensive repairs or small hernias, are typically employed in laparoscopic procedures. They are fixed over the defect, reinforcing the tissue and preventing the protrusion of internal organs.

Market Geographical Share

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period due to rise in the prevalence of hernia, novel product launches, FDA approvals, and expansion with other companies. Also, growth can be attributed to developed healthcare infrastructure, greater expenditure on healthcare, and higher awareness about minimally invasive surgeries.

For instance, an estimated 611,000 ventral and 1 million inguinal hernia repairs are performed each year in the US, according to Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project data and the US Food and Drug Administration globally, these surgeries are estimated to top 20 million a year, making hernia repair one of the most commonly performed general surgery procedures in the world.
