The Europe surgical suture market is projected to reach US$ 1,413.74 million by 2027 from US$ 925.29 million in 2019. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2020 to 2027.
The growth of the Europe surgical suture market is attributed to the increasing number of orthopedic surgeries and cardiovascular surgeries, and government support for the healthcare industry. However, the adoption of robots in surgeries is likely to have a negative impact on market growth.
The main reason for the rise in the orthopedic surgeries is due to the rising number of road accidents. In France, equal number men and women were recorded in road accidents. Therefore, in EU countries (including France), the high levels of ministerial promotion are being conducted. For instance, since 2009, the President of France referred road safety as one of the important national priorities and to establish high level committees to direct developments.
Furthermore, according to the National Interministerial Observatory of Road Safety (ONISR), 6,520 were injured in May 2018. The number of road accidents is rising and eventually leading to increasing number of surgeries and treatments involving orthopedic procedures. Along with orthopedic procedures, cardiovascular surgeries are expected to rise in the coming future, in turn, likely to drive the growth of the market under study.
