Key Market Trends

Closure Device Segment is Expected to Register a High CAGR in the Assisting Device Segment

Closure devices are used for reconnecting tissues during surgical procedures and for closing incisions made by trocars. The laparoscopic port closure device successfully and safely closes port sites in obese patients undergoing bariatric procedures and surgeries. The closure devices segment is expected to register high growth, as they are widely used in minimally invasive surgeries that require immediate closure of very small incisions made at the time of surgical procedures.

According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2019 data, in 2019 adult obesity rates exceeded 35% in nine states in the United States, 30% in 31 states, and 25% in 48 states. Mississippi and West Virginia were the highest adult obesity rate at 39.5% and Colorado with the lowest rate at 23%. Between 2017-2018, the adult obesity rate increased in New Mexico, New York, Kansas, Minnesota, Florida, Missouri, and Utah, decreased in Alaska, and remained stable in the rest of states and D.C.

Therefore, the high burden of obesity in the country is expected to increase bariatric surgeries in the coming years, which will contribute to the faster growth of this segment.
