Surgical Glue Market Growth and Trends

The rise in the number of surgical procedures is boosting the global surgical glue market growth.

The rise in the number of surgical procedures performed is expected to drive the growth of the market. Synthetic and semi-synthetic glue is usually preferred by patients due to its cost-effectiveness and better adhesion as compared to others. As per the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT), approximately 1.3 million people die globally in road crashes each year; on an average, 3,700 people lose their lives every day on the roads. An additional 20–50 million suffer from non-fatal injuries, often resulting in long-term disabilities. Therefore, the rising cases of accidents result in high surgical procedures. 

In Europe, the rate of surgical procedures is increasing. For instance, as per Eurostat, at least 1.12 million cesarean sections were performed in the EU in 2020. In 2020, transluminal coronary angioplasties were most common (relative to population size) in Croatia and Germany, where it was performed on average 462 and 384 times per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively. They were conducted between 150 and 329 times per 100,000 inhabitants in most of the remaining Member States for which data are available, with Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, and Romania below this range. 

Therefore, the rising number of surgeries performed is expected to drive the global market growth over the forecast period.

The limitations associated with surgical glue are hampering the growth of the global surgical glue market.

For instance, currently, there are no clinically approved surgical glues that are non-toxic, bind strongly to tissue, and work well within wet and highly dynamic environments within the body. Technologies for sealing or attaching devices to tissues without tissue penetration or compression exhibit major limitations, and this has been a barrier to the development of less invasive procedures. Thus, these limitations of surgical glues are hampering the global market growth.

Surgical Glue Market Segmentation Analysis

The global surgical glue market is segmented based on product type, application, end users, and region.

The cyanoacrylates segment is expected to hold dominant position in the market over the forecast period.

Cyanoacrylate (CA) and its homologs have a variety of medical and commercial applications as biological adhesives and sealants. Homologs of cyanoacrylate (CA) are being widely promoted in surgery as a tissue adhesive to replace traditional suturing techniques. Potential benefits of using CA adhesives include better cosmetic results, more rapid wound closure, and most significantly, the potential for significant reductions in percutaneous injuries from suture needles, which would in turn also reduce the risk of transmission of infectious diseases. 

For instance, with its octyl-based cyanoacrylate formulation, the LiquiBand XL system provides safe, secure, and effective closure for large and high-tension wounds. LiquiBand XL has several advantages, including durable and effective wound closure for up to 14 days, consistent dry time in as little as 60 seconds, and an effective microbial barrier against gram-positive, gram-negative, and fungal microbes for at least seven days. 

Similarly, DERMABOND Topical Skin Adhesive is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing a monomeric 2-octyl cyanoacrylate formulation. It is intended for topical application to hold closely approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including punctures from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations.

These factors are expected to drive the cyanoacrylates segment growth in the global market over the forecast period.

Surgical Glue Market Geographical Share

North America holds dominant position in the global surgical glue market.

North America holds dominant position in the global surgical glue market and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. The factors contributing to the growth include the increasing investments in the R&D of medical adhesives, growing developments, and the presence of a large number of medical schools and their several applications in different surgeries performed in the region. Heart Disease & Stroke Statistical Fact Sheet 2020 estimates that a minimum of 40,000 infants are expected to be affected each year by congenital heart defects in the U.S. Out of these, around 25%, or 2.4 (per 1,000 live births), actually require treatment in the first year of life.

Moreover, the increasing demand for and focus on cosmetic surgery and its growing awareness of preventative and corrective treatment in the U.S. are driving the growth of the market in this region. On May 25, 2022, LiquiBand XL, a novel device that heals large wounds than existing LiquiBand products, gained FDA 510(k) approval, according to Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc, the world's foremost expert in tissue-healing technology. The system consists of surgical mesh for wound closure and LiquiBand adhesive for securing the closure and preventing infection.
