CHICAGO, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Surgical Sponges Market is expected to grow from USD 0.81 billion in 2024 to USD 1.19 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.9%. The surgical sponges market is growing due to innovations in sponge technology, the rise in outpatient procedures, and the expansion of healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets. The increasing number of healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers, is driving demand for surgical sponges as more surgeries are performed. The aging population and prevalence of age-related diseases further boost market growth. However, the risk of retained surgical items (RSIs) poses challenges, although technological advancements like X-ray-detectable and RFID-tagged sponges are improving safety and efficiency. The market is segmented by type, material, shape, sterility, application, and region, with X-ray-detectable sponges, cotton material, square & rectangle shapes, and sterile sponges expected to see the highest growth. North America currently holds the largest market share, followed by the Asia Pacific. Key players dominating the market include Johnson & Johnson, Medline Industries, Cardinal Health, and Integra LifeSciences, among others, leveraging their extensive product portfolios and global presence.

Product Segment: Cotton Gauze Sponges Dominate

The global surgical sponges market is segmented into nonwoven sponges, x-ray detectable sponges, laparotomy sponges, cotton gauze sponges, and other surgical sponges. In 2023, the cotton gauze sponges segment held the largest market share. This dominance is attributed to their high absorbency, hypoallergenic properties, and softness, making them ideal for use in sterile surgical environments. Additionally, the ability to sterilize cotton gauze sponges without compromising their effectiveness further contributes to their widespread adoption in various surgical procedures.

Shape Segment: Square & Rectangle Sponges Lead

The surgical sponges market is also segmented by shape into square & rectangle, round & cylindrical, and other shapes. The square & rectangle segment led the market in 2023, owing to their large surface area, which makes them highly effective in maintaining a clean and safe surgical site. These sponges are widely used to absorb excess blood and fluids, ensuring a clear operative field, thereby driving their significant market share.

Sterility Segment: Sterile Sponges Take the Largest Share

In terms of sterility, the surgical sponges market is divided into sterile and non-sterile segments. The sterile sponges segment dominated the market in 2023. The increasing number of surgeries worldwide has driven the demand for sterile environments, leading to a higher adoption rate of sterile surgical sponges. The need to prevent infections during surgical procedures further boosts the preference for sterile sponges.

Application Segment: General Surgery Leads the Market

The surgical sponges market is categorized by application into general surgery, neurosurgery, laparotomy, dental surgery, ENT surgery, and other applications. In 2023, the general surgery segment held the largest market share. This is mainly due to the growing geriatric population, the rising number of hernia repair procedures, and the overall increasing demand for general surgical procedures, particularly in emerging markets.

Regional Insights: North America at the Forefront

The global surgical sponges market is segmented into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East & Africa, and GCC countries. North America led the market in 2023, followed by the Asia Pacific. This regional dominance is attributed to the high prevalence of chronic diseases, the growing volume of surgeries, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and the rising number of accidents and traumas in the US and Canada. These factors collectively contribute to North America's significant market share in the surgical sponges industry.
