Sternal Closure Systems Market is expected to reach US$ 5.94 Billion by 2031

Increase in Cardiothoracic Surgeries Fuels Sternal Closure Systems Market Growth

According to our latest study, “Sternal Closure Systems Market Size and Forecast (2021–2031), Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis – by Product, Procedure, Material, and Geography," the market was valued at US$ 4.22 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 5.94 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.2% during 2025–2031. The report includes prospects owing to the current sternal closure systems market trends and their foreseeable impact during the forecast period.    

The increase in cardiothoracic surgeries drives the sternal closure systems market growth. A significant driver underpinning the growth of the sternal closure systems market is the marked increase in cardiothoracic surgical procedures worldwide. As major interventions such as open-heart surgeries, valve replacements, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) become more common, the demand for reliable sternal closure following median sternotomy naturally rises. For example, one study estimated more than one million cardiac surgical procedures globally each year and emphasised the need to expand surgical capacity to meet population demands. In such surgeries, after the sternum is divided to access the heart, proper closure is essential to prevent complications such as sternal dehiscence, infection or instability, thereby positioning sternal closure systems as indispensable to the surgical pathway. The Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons (ANZSCTS) Annual Report for 2023 shows that 17,875 adult cardiac surgical cases were recorded across 57 units in Australia and New Zealand. This high procedural volume highlights the sustained demand for surgical interventions involving mediastinal access and sternotomy.

The report includes the sternal closure systems market forecast by product, procedure, and material. Based on product, the global sternal closure systems market is segmented into closure devices and bone cement. Closure devices are critical components in sternal closure systems, designed to stabilize the sternum following open-heart surgery or other thoracic procedures. Traditionally dominated by stainless steel wires, the segment has evolved to include rigid fixation systems, such as plates and screws, which offer enhanced stability, reduced risk of sternal dehiscence, and improved post-operative recovery. The adoption of advanced closure devices is driven by their ability to minimize complications, such as infection, non-union, and chronic pain, which are common with conventional wiring techniques. Innovations in biomaterials, including titanium and polymer-based systems, provide superior mechanical strength while maintaining biocompatibility, resulting in enhanced patient outcomes. This segment held the largest sternal closure systems market share in 2024.

The scope of the sternal closure systems market report focuses on North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Spain, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (South Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), the Middle East & Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of the Middle East & Africa), and South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America). Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2024, followed by North America and Europe.

The sternal closure systems market in Asia Pacific is segmented into Australia, China, Japan, India, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. In terms of revenue, China held the largest sternal closure systems market share in APAC. China is emerging as a critical market for sternal closure systems in Asia Pacific. The country has experienced rapid growth in cardiac surgery capacity, with an increasing number of open-heart procedures being conducted in both public and private hospitals. In China, there is academic and clinical research on novel sternal fixation methods. For example, a Chinese surgical team reported (in a 2022 paper) on a Ni-Ti (nickel-titanium) shape-memory alloy embracing plate for sternal fixation, suggesting innovation in closure hardware. This kind of research supports the notion that local (Chinese) device‑makers may be exploring or already manufacturing advanced sternal closure systems, which could influence market growth by offering regionally designed solutions.
