According to a recent study by Future Market Insights, the market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% during the forecast period.
Market Highlights
Leading Component:
Hyaluronic acid is at the forefront of the anti-adhesion barrier gels market, commanding a substantial share of approximately 42.2% in 2021. This naturally occurring substance is renowned for its effectiveness in preventing post-surgical adhesions, making it a preferred choice among healthcare professionals.
Key Drivers of Growth:
The increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide, along with a rising awareness of the complications associated with postoperative adhesions, is fueling the demand for anti-adhesion barrier gels. These products play a crucial role in enhancing patient outcomes by minimizing the risk of adhesions that can lead to chronic pain and additional surgeries.
Future Market Potential:
The anti-adhesion barrier gels market is anticipated to witness robust growth as advancements in technology and research continue to improve the efficacy and application of these gels. As healthcare providers seek effective solutions to enhance surgical results, the market is well-positioned for continued expansion.
An adhesion barrier as recognized by FDA is a medical implant that separates internal tissues and organs during healing and post-surgical procedures. Their main function is to reduce abnormal internal scarring also known as adhesions. Various companies manufacture anti-adhesion barrier products in the form of gels or sheets which are utilized during various surgical procedures.
Commercially available anti-adhesion materials are composed of sodium hyaluronate, Carboxymethylcellulose or even oxidized regenerated cellulose. As adhesion barriers, such as hyaluronic acid, have the highest penetration rate in orthopedic procedures. A consistent rise in the number of patients undergoing fracture repair surgery and, coronary artery bypass grafting is expected to drive the demand for these products across the globe.
During surgeries such as abdominal surgery, adhesion formation is a very common complication, wherein more than 90% of the patients develop intra-abdominal adhesions post-surgery. This leads to issues like infertility, small bowel obstruction, pelvic pain etc. Moreover, many a times, there are readmissions pertaining to these issues while many require further surgery which raises the difficulty and duration of these surgeries, thereby affecting patient’s quality of life significantly.
The use of cutting-edge technologies by surgeons to treat post-surgical adhesion has opened up new opportunities for pharmaceutical businesses to generate income. Since there is no specific medication available for the prevention of surgical adhesions, using adhesion barriers gels is an efficient strategy to lessen or avoid the incidence, extent, severity and concerns of post-surgical adhesions.
Due to the fact that adhesive barriers are the only treatment option for post-surgical adhesions, demand for adhesion barriers is anticipated to increase over the projected period.
