Global Hernia Repair Devices and Consumables Market Is Expected to Reach $6.1 Billion, Globally, by 2020 - Allied Market Research

A new report by Allied Market Research titled, "Global Hernia Repair Devices and Consumables Market - Size, Industry Analysis, Trends, Opportunities, Growth and Forecast, 2013 -2020", forecasts the market to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2014 - 2020. Consumables (mesh, staple and tacks) segment would continue to be the leading segment of the global hernia repair market in 2020, largely due to the augmentation in hernia cases, recurrence rate and emergence of advanced meshes.

Increase in number of hernia repair surgeries (laparoscopy and open tension-free repair) would be the prime factor responsible for the market growth during the forecast period. As per AMR analysis, total number of hernia repair surgery was ~27 million in 2013 and is expected to reach ~36 million by 2020. Furthermore, other factors driving the market include emergence of novel meshes, technologically advanced hernia fixation devices and growing obese population. However, lack of adequate reimbursement policies and high cost associated with hernia repair procedures would restrain the market growth to a certain extent.

Healthcare professionals still prefer synthetic mesh for hernia repair surgeries despite of chronic pain associated with it. However, biological meshes would be the ultimate choice for patient with high risk. Popularity of synthetic mesh is largely due to the attributes such as cost effectiveness, lesser risk of infection (less than 3%) and hard-wearing (remain permanently in the body). In case of biological mesh, it has few limitations such as risk of infection and less stronger as compared to synthetic mesh. Ongoing improvements in meshes such as absorbable, non-absorbable or partially absorbable is also a significant factor fuelling the consumables market.
