It is driven by increased surgical procedures and advances in technology.
According to Technavio, the global automatic suturing equipment market is expected to grow by US$244.8 million from 2025 to 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
This growth is driven by an increase in surgical procedures and advances in technology. However, the high cost of these devices remains a challenge.
Automated suturing devices are gaining traction in healthcare due to their ability to increase patient throughput, reduce operative time, and improve cost efficiencies, particularly in minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy, arthroscopy, and endoscopic surgery. Key factors driving the market include innovations in robotics and anti-infective technologies and their applications in treating cardiovascular, diabetic and orthopedic diseases.
Increased hospitalizations due to an aging population and chronic disease are also fueling demand for these devices. Infection control, especially in dental procedures, and faster recovery times are key benefits driving the adoption of automated sutures. However, reimbursement policies and high equipment costs, especially for reusable models, limit their widespread use, especially in developing countries where reimbursement is not possible.
Despite growth, high equipment costs and limited reimbursement options in regions such as India, China and Africa are major obstacles.
Reusable devices tend to be more expensive than disposable devices, and this price difference can impact market adoption. Manufacturers must address these challenges by finding cost-effective solutions to expand market reach.
