Sternal Closure Systems Market Overview and Growth by 2031

[Research Report] The sternal closure systems market is projected to grow from US$ 4.22 billion in 2024 to US$ 6.32 billion by 2031; it is projected to register a CAGR of 6.1% during 2025–2031.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Deep sternal wound infection is among the most lethal complications that a patient experiences post-heart surgery. Cardiac and thoracic surgery includes opening the sternum. A sternal closure is utilized to close the sternum after heart and chest cavity surgery. Closure of the sternum is one of the effective procedures to control the incidence of wound dehiscence. Sternum closure devices comprise plates, wires, screws, and cables, and these devices are made of titanium, peek, or stainless steel. Factors such as technological innovation in sternotomy techniques, a rise in the patient population, an increase in the number of surgical procedures, a large senior population undergoing open heart surgery, and an increase in the availability of medical reimbursements in developed countries are expected to propel the demand for sternal closure systems products during the forecast period. Moreover, there is an increase in investment in public health care infrastructure in developing countries, owing to a rise in the noncommunicable disease burden and injuries. This is anticipated to boost the number of surgical procedures.

Global Sternal Closure Systems Market Size and Share

Drivers and Restraints Affecting Sternal Closure Systems Market Growth:

The increasing number of open-heart surgeries and the rising geriatric populace propel the market. For instance, the National Institute of Health article published in June 2022 stated that globally, more than 2 million people undergo open-heart surgery yearly to treat multiple heart problems. As per the same source, almost 400,000 coronary artery bypass graft surgeries are performed each year, making it the most frequently performed major surgical procedure. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) report published in October 2022, the global population aged 60 years and over will grow to 1.4 billion by 2030 and reach 2.1 billion by 2050. The geriatric population is more vulnerable to developing cardiovascular diseases, owing to which they often require open-heart surgeries. The high number of open-heart surgeries is anticipated to drive the demand for sternal closure systems as they are majorly used in open-heart surgeries to rejoin the sternum, thereby augmenting the sternal closure systems market growth.
