Global Surgical Mesh Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking - Global Industry insights 2015 to 2031

Surgical Mesh Market: Surgical mesh is made of woven material that is sterile and is a type of synthetic plastic. Surgical mesh can be manufactured by numerous synthetic materials, such as polypropylene, knitted polyester, or Gore-Tex. Mesh is solid and sturdy yet exceptionally thin. It is flexible and soft to allow it to adapt to the movement of the body simply. Surgical mesh is used in several different surgical processes to support internal body parts or wound closure. Surgical mesh is also called a patch or screen implanted in the body for reinforcement or repair. One of the regularly performed general surgeries globally is Hernia repair, which usually includes surgical mesh. Mesh is also used to assist in the surgical process of uterine suspension, urinary incontinence, vertebral reconstruction, vaginal prolapse, tissue reconstruction, and support for devices implanted to support the heart.

Surgical mesh is available in numerous sizes and can be cut to any size for each medical use. Meshes can be found in circular, oval, elliptical, and rectangular sheets.  Surgical mesh is also commercially available in pre-cut shapes, including Y-shaped mesh for POP repairs, or designs with openings to accommodate specific anatomical features, such as the spermatic cord in hernia repairs, are also available, saving time, reducing waste, and ensuring that the edges of the prosthesis are adequately sealed.

Drivers for Global Surgical Mesh Market

The growing geriatric population, poor nutrition, changing lifestyle, and smoking are reasons for the rising prevalence of hernia. Growing awareness among the people about hernias and increasing prevalence are factors fueling the growth of the surgical mesh market.

Surgeons perform repairs with hernia mesh or without hernia mesh. Mesh has become more popular since the 1980s. Around 2.3 Mn hernia repairs are done in the US annually and are one of the most common surgeries held in the US. There are almost 100,000 hernia repairs performed annually in NHS England. Hernia mesh is used in about 90% of those surgeries. For every four hernias, three are repaired with mesh. The percentage repaired by mesh varies by hernia type. Mesh repairs in inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias accounted for 95%, 50%, and 82%, respectively.

Restraints to Global Surgical Mesh Market

An increasing number of complications in cases associated with the surgical mesh, and adverse effects such as infection, pain, recurrence, hernia, and bowel obstruction while other possible adverse effects such as mesh shrinkage (contraction) as well as mesh migration remain one of the restraints to this market.

Stringent regulations and guidelines regarding medical devices, including the surgical mesh, can delay the registration of new entrants in the market, which requires high investment and time. Also, the high cost of surgical mesh repair with inefficient skilled personnel supported by the availability of less-expensive approaches is expected to affect the market growth

Opportunities in Global Surgical Mesh Market

Consistent growth in the healthcare sector of developed and emerging economies aids the growth of the surgical mesh market. Increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure and initiatives enables offering convenient and cost-effective healthcare services in emerging economies.
