The global hernia repair market size was valued at USD 4,362.3 Million in 2018. Rising pool of geriatric and obese population, as well as the high demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures, are the key drivers pertaining to hernia repair market growth.
Hernia occurs when an organ, fatty tissue or intestine protrudes through a weak spot or a hole in the surrounding connective tissue or muscle. There are many types of hernias that occur in the body such as inguinal, incisional, femoral, and ventral, among others. To treat such hernias various treatments are available in market such as non-surgical and surgical procedures. However, in many cases surgical imaging treatments are widely preferred over non-surgical ones. As per research findings brought forward by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in the U.S. over one million hernia repair procedures are performed each year and around 8,00,000 are to repair inguinal hernias and the remaining are for the other types of hernias. However, the high cost associated with consumables meshes hampers the market growth of hernia repair globally.
The size of the global market for Hernia Repair is expected to reach USD 7.4 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.
