Insights on market segments

On the basis of product, the Saudi Arabian surgical sutures market has been categorized into sutures and automated suturing devices. Between the two suture types, namely absorbable and non-absorbable, absorbable sutures are estimated to hold a larger share, of 65.3%, in the market in 2017. This can be attributed to an increase in the demand for absorbable sutures, as they can be easily broken down by the body through the process of hydrolysis and therefore do not have to be removed after surgery.

Based on application, the surgical sutures market has been categorized into general, gynecological, orthopedic, ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and other surgeries. Among these, general surgery is expected to continue being the largest application area for surgical sutures in the market in the coming years. General surgery is estimated to account for the largest share in the surgical sutures market of Saudi Arabia in 2017 and is also predicted to be the fastest-growing application category, with a CAGR of 4.6%, during the forecast period.
