Surgical Glue Market size was valued at US$ 5.25 billion in 2023  and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024-2030. The growing use of surgical glue as a suture substitute in surgeries is propelling the industry forward. Surgical glue, which can be comprised of synthetic or biological materials, is gaining favor as a substitute for stitches in surgeries to prevent or help leakage in wounds. Painless administration, quick wound closure, the absence of suture scars, and a lower chance of needle sticking are just a few of the benefits of surgical glue. These adhesives can be used to close both minor and big wounds, such as surgical incisions, lacerations, and injuries to the groin or face, among other things.

Key drivers for the market growth include the rising occurrence of cardiac-related diseases, emerging applications in regenerative medicine, a growing number of surgical procedures, increasing incidences of road accidents, and advances in the development of new surgical glue. However, side effects associated with surgical glue and increasing minimally invasive procedures are inhibiting the market growth. Further, the increasing popularity of plastic surgeries provides a huge growth opportunity for the market.

The industry will rise as demand grows for operations that leave fewer incision signs. Most wounds reopen with surgical glues compared to those with sutures. This may be due to a combination of poor technique, poor wound selection, and most importantly breakage of bonds or sloughing from the skin surface. It also causes mild heat at the time the glue. Hence, the side effects of surgical glues hamper the market growth. The global surgical glue market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launches by the market players. For instance, Sealantis 2017 launched its pipeline product Seal-V which is the fastest, safest, and most effective vascular sealant. Seal-V is a protein-free strong biocompatible vascular sealant that allows precise control of the curing process for vascular surgeries.
