Surgical Stapling Devices Market Trends

The global surgical stapling devices market size was estimated at USD 5.30 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.33% from 2024 to 2030. The market growth is due to the rising preference for staples compared to sutures. Improved technological capabilities have led numerous market participants to commercialize staplers tailored for endoscopic surgeries. These tools are utilized in diverse medical fields, including gynecology, thoracic, and gastrointestinal surgeries, as well as tissue and wound management procedures.

Moreover, the surge in bariatric procedures and the adoption of advanced technology for endoscopic procedures are anticipated to increase the demand for staplers used in surgeries. Furthermore, the growing need for tissue and wound management and the introduction of powered surgical devices can propel the adoption of surgical staplers.

In the past, sutures were the primary choice for wound closure surgeries. However, the adoption of staples has increased owing to numerous advantages associated with it. Unlike the time-consuming process of suturing, which may result in wound leakage and separation, surgical staplers provide superior speed, precision, and effective wound closure.

In addition, the increasing incidence of chronic disorders is anticipated to boost the demand for stapling devices. There has been a surge in the prevalence of chronic conditions such as urological disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurovascular conditions. According to an article published by the WHO in September 2023, non-communicable diseases are responsible for the death of about 40 million individuals, denoting 74% of deaths annually worldwide. Moreover, cardiovascular disorders (CVD) account for most non-communicable disease deaths, as 17.9 million individuals die due to CVD each year. Thus, the availability of a large patient pool suffering from chronic disorders is anticipated to support the stapling market growth in the coming years.

The increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures is anticipated to drive market growth. Minimally invasive surgeries are becoming increasingly preferred due to their lower risk and reduced trauma. With smaller incisions, there is a decreased likelihood of postoperative pain and faster recovery, thus contributing to the widespread adoption of these procedures.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

The market growth stage is high, and the pace is accelerating due to the rising novel product launches, the presence of major players offering stapling devices, and numerous initiatives undertaken by them.

Surgical Stapling Devices Market Concentration & Characteristics

The degree of innovation is high due to the rising development of advanced products. Emerging and Established companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Intuitive Surgical are innovating continuously to offer advanced and novel products. For instance, in June 2021, Intuitive India, a part of Intuitive, introduced SureForm, the first robotic-assisted stapler that can used in surgeries. This product features Smart Fire technology. Moreover, in December 2020, a key industry participant, Medtronic introduced the EEA Circular Stapler with Tri-Staple Technology. It is useful in colorectal operations, where safer anastomosis is needed to avoid leaks. This stapler from Medtronic comes with enhanced audible and tactile feedback that allows clinicians to make better decision-making during procedures. Such technological advancements and associated developments are anticipated to propel the launches of innovative products.

The market is also represented by moderate merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. This is due to several aspects, including the urge to gain a competitive edge in the industry and the requirement to consolidate in a rapidly growing market. Major companies are purchasing emerging players developing staplers for various surgeries. For instance, in September 2022, Teleflex purchased surgical stapler maker Standard Bariatrics for USD 170 million upfront. With the deal, Teleflex gained Standard Bariatrics’ Titan SGS system that can deliver a long, continuous line of staples in a single firing. Such acquisitions of stapler makers are anticipated to boost the market growth.

Regulations are supervised by regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. and equivalent agencies globally. The authorities have issued a regulatory framework to assure product effectiveness, safety, and quality standards. Moreover, the regulatory bodies are also involved in clinical trials and marketing authorization of surgical stapling devices. For instance, in December 2021, the FDA cleared the SureForm 30 Curved-Tip Stapler and reloads from Intuitive Surgical, Inc. It is a fully wristed, 8 mm stapler used in thoracic, general, urologic, gynecologic, and pediatric surgery.

There are limited external substitutes such as gastric balloon systems for surgical stapling devices.Key industry players such as Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, and Medtronic hold significant shares in the stapling devices market. Their predominant presence is primarily due to their financial position, well-established brands, vast distribution networks, and product portfolio. For instance, Johnson & Johnson provides stapling devices such as the ECHELON CIRCULAR Powered Stapler, ETHICON Circular Stapler, PROXIMATE PX Fixed-Head Skin Stapler, and ECHELON FLEX ENDOPATH Staplers.

The market is witnessing robust global expansion due to the increasing launches of products in developed countries like the U.S. and developing economies such as India. Furthermore, the growing focus of industry players on enhancing the accessibility of products in myriad countries is expected to drive market growth.
