U.S. Veterinary Surgical Disposables Market To Reach $145.47 Million By 2030

U.S. Veterinary Surgical Disposables Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. veterinary surgical disposables market size is expected to reach USD 145.47 million by 2030. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.78% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Some of the major factors propelling the market growth are the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in animals, the increasing uptake of pet insurance, and product advancements. Advancements in veterinary products and materials have led to the development of sutures with enhanced properties, such as increased strength, better biocompatibility, and reduced tissue reaction. These advancements result in better healing outcomes for animals and encourage veterinarians to opt for newer, more advanced sutures.

Moreover, it has been reported that 3% to 5.5% of all small animal surgical procedures result in Surgical-site Infections (SSIs). Ethicon US, LLC (Johnson & Johnson) provides Plus Sutures, which have been shown in vitro to limit bacterial colonization of the suture and protect against the most frequent species linked with SSI. A meta-analysis, according to Ethicon US, LLC, the use of triclosan-coated sutures reduces the risk of SSI by 28%.

However, animals may have adverse reactions to medications administered prior to, during, or after surgery. Anesthesia is necessary for most surgeries to ensure the animal remains still and does not feel pain during the procedure. However, anesthesia carries risks, including allergic reactions, respiratory depression, and cardiovascular complications. Moreover, surgery creates an entry point for bacteria, increasing the risk of infection. Proper sterilization techniques and postoperative care can help minimize this risk. In addition, surgery may cause bleeding, both during the procedure and afterward. Excessive bleeding can lead to complications and may require additional interventions to control. This further accelerates the need and demand for quality surgical disposables, hence aiding in the market growth in the near future.

The market is expected to grow rapidly due to increasing pet ownership, technological advancements in veterinary surgeries, rising awareness of animal health, growing veterinary healthcare expenditures, expansion of veterinary specialty services, and increased adoption of pet insurance. Furthermore, veterinary surgical techniques and equipment innovations contribute to the demand for advanced surgical disposables. Developments such as minimally invasive surgeries, laser surgery, and advanced wound management techniques necessitate specialized disposables, including sutures, mesh implants, and absorbable sponges.

Furthermore, the expansion of veterinary specialty services, including orthopedic, neurosurgery, and oncology, is driving the demand for specialized surgical disposables. Veterinary surgeons require specific sutures, meshes, and sponges tailored to the unique requirements of each specialty, thus propelling market growth. For example, recently launched veterinary surgical disposables include absorbable gelatin sponges, which are effective in achieving satisfactory hemostasis in dogs and cats without complications. These sponges can prevent peridural fibrosis when soaked with parecoxib, providing a valuable option for veterinary surgical procedures.
