Hernia Mesh Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Hernia Mesh Devices Market Analysis

The hernia mesh devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.3% over the forecast period.

Due to the sudden implementation of stringent lockdowns throughout the world during the pandemic, COVID-19 had a substantial impact on the market's growth. Additionally, due to the primary focus on emergency COVID-19 treatments, there were fewer patient visits, and hernia surgeries were postponed, leading to complications in patients suffering from hernias. For instance, according to the article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in September 2022, the onset of the pandemic resulted in a reduction in the number of elective hernia surgeries, mainly the incisional hernia surgery, with the first three months of lockdown having the most significant impact. However, due to the gradual lifting of COVID-19 restrictions after May 2020, there was a surge in the number of inguinal hernia surgeries. For instance, as per the study published by NCBI in May 2022, approximately 43.0% of the patients endured inguinal hernia repair surgeries, 6.6% experienced incarceration, and 15.2% had an emergency department encounter during the post-cancellation period. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the market's growth adversely in its preliminary phase; however, the market is expected to gain traction due to the significant increase in the number of hernia repair surgeries globally.

The high prevalence of hernia all over the world, the surging number of surgeries being performed for the treatment of hernias, and the employment of biomaterials in three-dimensional mesh development are among the major factors driving the growth of the market studied. For instance, according to the National Center for Health Statistics report 2022, more than five million people in the United States suffer from hernia every year. The major factors causing hernia are the high geriatric population, constipation, chronic cough due to smoking, and high premature birth rates. In addition, in recent years, there has been a surge in the number of surgeries performed to treat hernia. For instance, according to the article published in NCBI in August 2022, inguinal hernia is the most commonly occurring type of hernia and over 800,000 inguinal hernia surgeries are performed every year in the United States. Such factors are likely to boost the adoption of hernia mesh devices, thereby contributing to the market studied's growth.

Moreover, in the recent few years, there has been a surge in the employment of different biodegradable polymers for the development of three-dimensional meshes for hernia treatment. For instance, as per the article published in NCBI in February 2022, numerous biodegradable polymers are used to create medical devices, including implants and three-dimensional meshes. The bioactive and biocompatible qualities of biodegradable polymers, when combined with next-generation technologies and cell-based therapies, can advance tissue regeneration and the healing of damaged or injured tissue. Therefore, the adoption of biomaterials for three-dimensional mesh development is expected to accelerate the hernia mesh devices market globally and to increase in the future, thereby driving the growth of the market studied over the forecast period.

Hernia Mesh Devices Industry Segmentation

A medical device called hernia mesh, often known as surgical mesh, supports injured tissue surrounding a hernia as it heals. The mesh is applied over the region containing the hernia and secured by the surgeon with sutures, staples, or adhesive.

The hernia mesh devices market is segmented by Hernia Type (Inguinal Hernia, Incisional Hernia, Femoral Hernia, and Other Hernia Types), Mesh Type (Biologic Mesh and Synthetic Mesh), Mesh Material (Absorbable Mesh and Non-Absorbable Mesh), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Clinics), and Geography (North America (United States, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East and Africa GCC, South Africa, and Rest of Middle East and Africa), and South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of South America)). The market report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 countries across major global regions. The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
