03 January 2019
The Global Hernia Repair Market is expected to reach USD 6.60 billion by 2024. Rigorous research &
development activities, growing number of obese patients and high susceptibility of geriatric patients to
suffer from hernia are expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Increasing technological
sophistication in repair devices and rigorous research and development of the drug-eluting mesh is projected
to boost the demand for hernia repair devices and consumables.
Post-operative pain is growing concern post-repair with synthetic mesh. Though the cause of pain varies from
patient to patient, a primary reason for pain is inflammation associated with the synthetic mesh. Other
chronic illnesses related to the use of implanted mesh are abdominal pain, infection (sepsis), bowel
obstruction and adhesion. In spite of increasing technological sophistication in mesh technology, synthetic
materials remain the most widely used mesh products for hernia repair especially the polypropylene mesh
due to their low cost and easy availability.
The biological mesh is gaining momentum in developed countries especially in the U.S. Biologic mesh
development has overcome the problem associated the synthetic mesh including foreign body interaction,
chronic inflammation, infection, and stiffness. Presence of favorable reimbursement policies coupled with
the well-regulated healthcare insurance and increasing prevalence of an inguinal and ventral hernia in
developed economies have rendered increased acceptance of this product.
