Surgical mesh is a medical device constructed by using synthetic materials or animal tissue and used to provide extra support to weak or damaged tissue. Surgical polypropylene mesh widely adopted in the market due to its stability, durability, low infection risk and high mechanical strength. Non-absorbable surgical mesh has wide applicability in various procedures such as prosthetic hernioplasty, reconstruction of the chest wall, re-inforcement of fascial tissue etc. Some factors such as growing number of hernia cases, increasing awareness about benefits of implanting mesh material in corrective surgeries, technological advancement in the nature of surgical mesh, rising number of risk factors such as obesity and changing lifestyle pattern are driving the growth of surgical polypropylene mesh market globally.
The global surgical polypropylene mesh market is categorized on the basis of applications such as hernia repair, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and other applications. It is observed that, in the base year 2016, hernia repair is the major revenue contributing segment, because the demand for hernia repair surgical procedures has increased in the market. In the recent years, the approach towards hernia repair procedures has shifted from autogenous tissue repair to use of biological and synthetic mesh. Hernia has a higher rate of recurrence, and thus surgical mesh are preferably use to strengthen hernia repair and to reduce the risk of recurrence. Increase in prevalence of hernia, rising awareness about surgery and technological advancements in surgical mesh are the prime factors assisting the growth of hernia repair mesh market globally.
In the recent years, North America is dominating the global surgical polypropylene mesh market in terms of revenue and it is anticipated that it will show dominance during the forecast period 2017-2025. Some factors such as higher cost of mesh, wide availability of polypropylene mesh, well developed healthcare infrastructure and increase in the number of target population are assisting the growth of surgical polypropylene mesh market in North America. However, it is expected that Asia Pacific would demonstrate a lucrative market growth during the forecast period. Improving healthcare infrastructure, growing healthcare awareness and developing economic conditions would drive the market growth in Asia Pacific.
