Market Overview
Hernia Repair Devices Market size was valued US$ YY million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ YY million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.65% during the forecast period (2022-2029).
Hernia is the condition in which the internal organ or fatty tissue surges out through the fascia, a weak spot present in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue. A hernia occurs most frequently within the abdominal cavity, between the chest and the hips. Inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, hiatal hernia, and others are the most prevalent hernia observed across the globe. A hernia is characterized by the signs and symptoms such as swelling in the groin or scrotum, pain at the site of the bulge, pain while lifting, increased bulge size over time, aching sensation, and bowel obstruction.
Hernia repair devices are the devices that are used for performing the surgical procedure for the correction of hernia. Hernia repair devices are used for performing laparoscopic and open repair surgery. The market is dominated by the availability of hernia mesh, including synthetic mesh & biologic mesh, and mesh fixators, including the sutures, tack applicators, and glue applicators.

Market Dynamics
Increasing funding & investment for the development of the Hernia Repair Devices is expected to drive market growth.
Several companies are raising the funding and investment for developing the Hernia Repair Devices. For instance, in January 2020, Virtual Incision Corporation raised USD 20 million in a Series B+ financing round led by the investor Bluestem Capital, with participation from returning investor PrairieGold Venture Partners and Genesis Innovation Group and other affiliated investors. This funding would be used to support the regulatory and clinical programs leading to the commercialization of the miniaturized in vivo robotic assistant (MIRA) Surgical Robotic Platform for various applications such as hernia repair, gallbladder removal, anti-reflux surgery, splenectomy, adrenalectomy, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, hysterectomy, and hepato-pancreato-biliary procedures. Thus, from the above statements, the market is expected to drive in the forecast period.
Adverse Effects Associated with using Hernia Repair Devices are expected to hamper the market growth.
The market is hindered by the adverse effects associated with the use of hernia repair devices. Several adverse effects were observed among patients treated with hernia repair devices, such as pain, infection, recurrence, adhesion, bowel obstruction, organ perforation, and other adverse effects. According to the British Journal of Surgery, the hernia mesh’s coating has reduced the adhesion for a week. There was no adhesion prevention through the hernia mesh coating after a month. Mesh also leads to bowel obstruction as it can migrate in the body. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recalled mesh is the leading cause of bowel preformation and obstruction among patients. Chronic infections such as inflammation, fever, and other flu-like symptoms are observed among the patients. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Ethicon physiomesh implant was detached and migrated among the patients. This implant was attached to the patient’s intestine and the skin. Migration of the implant resulted in excess pain and severe damage.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The global hernia repair devices market has been impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic as there is decreased number of the patients undergoing the hernia repair surgeries with the increasing number of people suffering from the COVID-19. The COVID-19 can be a serious threat for carrying out the corneal surgery. Globally, the demand of the hernia repair devices has reduced due to COVID-19 pandemic with the decrease in the number of the people undergoing the hernia repair surgery. According to the F. K?ckerling et.al. 2020, approximately, 28 million elective operations were cancelled during the peak 12 weeks of disruption occurred due to COVID-19. According to the hernia registry, the number of inguinal hernia repair surgery had witnessed the decreased from the 6,699 surgeries in February 2020 to 3033 in June 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. The number of the umbilical hernia repair surgeries has decreased from 1, 692 in February 2020 to 1,421 in June 2020.

Segment Analysis
The hernia mesh segment is expected to hold the largest share in the hernia repair devices market.
The hernia mesh segment accounted for holding the largest share in the hernia repair devices market due to the rising penetration of the hernia mesh. As per Sanders DL et al., yearly, around 20 million prosthetic meshes are implanted among patients with hernias worldwide. Every year nine out of ten hernia surgeries are performed using the hernia mesh in the United States. Hernia mesh supports the damaged tissue around hernias. It can be easily placed around the hernia by attaching it with stitches, staples, or glue. Hernia mesh comprises synthetic materials that can be absorbable, non-absorbable or a combination of both materials found in knitted mesh or non-knitted sheet forms. Hernia mesh is effective in lowering the recurrence of the hernias. The market is dominated by the availability of several hernia mesh products. For instance, Atrium comprises the several hernia mesh product portfolio such as C-QUR, Vitamesh, Proloop, Prolite, and Prolite UltraQ; B. Braun comprises the several hernia mesh portfolio such as Premilene, Omyra, Optilene; LifeCell Corporation comprises the hernia mesh product portfolio such as Alloderm Select, Strattice; and Medtronic comprised of the hernia mesh product portfolio such as Parietex, Permacol, ProGrip, Symbotex, Versatex.

Geographical Analysis
North American region is expected to hold the largest market share in the global hernia repair devices market.
North America dominated the global hernia repair devices market. It accounted for the largest market share in 2021, owing to the increasing adoption of hernia repair devices for performing hernia repair surgeries. According to Raquel Maia et al. 2021, published in Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery, around 350,000 abdominal wall hernia repair surgeries were performed in a year. There is a high recurrence rate of hernias. The United States accounts for the highest market share due to the availability of favorable reimbursement policies for hernia repair surgeries. There is the presence of several market players developing advanced hernia repair devices. For instance, Ariste Medical gained 510(k) authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2022 to market their drug-embedded, synthetic hernia mesh in the US.
