Top Boosters and Restraints

The COVID-19 outbreak has given way to a lot of apprehension in relation to the lack of supply in terms of essential healthcare devices and medical supplies that can help curb the spread of the pandemic. Since the advent of SARS-CoV-2, the healthcare sector’s prime focus has been on providing effective care to those who are infected. However, the COVID-19 impact as well as the worldwide lockdown has led to manufacturing units close down, resulting in shortage of a broad range of healthcare devices like suture needles, antibody tests and more.  

The Suture Needle Market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the demand for high-quality surgical suture needles in medical procedures. These needles play a critical role in wound closure and tissue repair. With advancements in material technology and needle design, the market caters to the evolving needs of surgeons and healthcare professionals worldwide.

But despite the growing challenges following the novel coronavirus, the general rise in the number of surgeries in light of surging prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle and the expansion of the elderly population can boost the demand for suture needles. Supportive government policies with regard to surgical procedures, continuous launches of technologically innovative products and surge in aging baby boomers are also projected to favor the global market. The market growth also gets a significant boost from the mounting healthcare awareness in emerging regions, increasing efforts by global players to leverage the growth potential of these said regions and the exploration of more advanced diagnosis and imaging techniques.
