Hernia Mesh Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Biological Mesh and Synthetic Mesh), By Type (Inguinal, Femoral, Ventral, and Others), By End-user (Hospitals & ASCs, Specialty Clinics, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global hernia mesh devices market size was valued at USD 2.19 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 2.29 billion in 2024 to USD 3.76 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

Hernia mesh devices are the surgical mesh used during hernia surgery, placed in the abdomen across the hernia to support the healing of damaged tissues. The increasing prevalence of hernia diseases has fueled the demand for effective treatment through hernia mesh surgeries.

• For instance, as per the research study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2022, incident cases of hernia were around 13,020,720 globally in 2019. Moreover, hernia was more common in males than females. Out of the total incidence of hernia cases, around 86.3% of the cases were observed in males.

Moreover, the increasing adoption of hernia mesh in hernia surgeries globally, along with the increasing focus of key players in launching new technologically advanced products to cater to the increasing demand for hernia repair devices, is anticipated to fuel the global hernia mesh devices market growth.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the global hernia mesh devices market experienced a decline in value. This was due to the postponement of non-emergency surgeries in order to reduce the rush at the hospitals and to control the spread of the virus. Moreover, market players also experienced a decline in revenue due to lower product demand and supply chain disruption. For instance, BD experienced a decline of 9.7% in 2020 in the revenue generated from its surgery segment compared to the prior year.

However, in 2021 and 2022, the market experienced significant growth due to a rise in the number of hernia procedures, and market players also experienced growth in revenue due to the increased demand for their products. For instance, BD generated a revenue of USD 1,296.0 million in 2021, experiencing an increase of 15.6% from the prior year.

Hernia Mesh Devices Market Growth Factors

Increasing Prevalence of Hernia has been fueling the Demand for Hernia Mesh Devices

The prevalence of hernia has been increasing at a significant rate globally. For instance, as per the research study published by the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care in August 2021, the prevalence of hernia was found in 38.8% of the total participants. In the study, it was observed that the prevalence of hernia in participants aged 18-25 was less, and it was higher in participants who were overweight or suffering from obesity.

The rising prevalence of hernia has also been increasing the number of hernia repair surgeries conducted globally. For instance, as per the data published by Spire Healthcare Group plc in May 2021, around 120,000 hernia operations are being conducted in the U.K. annually.

Similarly, as per the data published by WebMD LLC in March 2023, around 1.0 million hernia repair surgeries are conducted annually in the U.S.

Furthermore, as per the research study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2021, abdominal hernia surgeries accounted for 15%-18% of the total surgeries performed globally.

Moreover, the majority of the hernia procedures are performed using hernia mesh. For instance, as per the data published by Elsevier Inc. in August 2022, around 80.0% of hernia surgeries use hernia mesh devices for treatment. Therefore, the increasing number of hernia surgeries has been boosting the demand for hernia mesh, thereby fueling the global hernia mesh device market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Complications Associated with the Use of Hernia Mesh have been Limiting its Adoption Among the Patient Population

Due to the increasing number of hernia surgeries, the demand for hernia mesh has grown significantly. However, certain complications, such as hernia recurrence, bowel obstruction, infection, erectile dysfunction, adhesion, and bladder injuries, can occur due to hernia mesh surgery.

• For instance, according to the data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2022, the hernia recurrence rate after hernia mesh surgeries is 30.0%.


• Moreover, as per the Health Issues Centre’s Report 2019 on ‘Adverse Outcomes from Hernia Mesh,’ 91.0% of their respondents experienced chronic pain, 16.0% suffered allergic reactions, and 15.0% suffered incontinence after hernia surgery in Australia.

Due to complications associated with hernia mesh, patients look for alternative options such as abdominal truss, Bassini hernia repair, Desarda hernia repair, and Moloney’s Darn repair, among others.

Hernia Mesh Devices Market Segmentation Analysis

By Product Analysis

Biological Mesh Segment Led due to the Decreased Recurrence Rate

On the basis of product, the market for hernia mesh devices is segmented into biological mesh and synthetic mesh.

The biological mesh dominated the market in 2023 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The dominance of the segment is attributed to the emergence of hernia mesh devices made of biomaterial, such as Phasix, a BD product. These surgical meshes have more mechanical strength than the traditional polypropylene mesh and reduce the recurrence rate for incisional hernia.

The synthetic mesh segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to the various advantages associated with the use of synthetic mesh, such as cost-effectiveness and comparatively lesser chances of experiencing adverse events.
