In order to keep the internal tissues and organs apart while they recover, an adhesion barrier which is a type of surgical implant is used to minimize aberrant internal scarring (adhesions) after surgery.

Surgeons now understand the need of using good surgical techniques to prevent adhesion formation. Additionally, for more than a century, adjuvants have been utilized to lower the danger of adhesion formation. These include medications and materials including animal membranes, gold foil, oil, sheets made of rubber, and Teflon.

Adhesions do, however, develop and seem to be, in some ways, an almost inevitable side effect of pelvic and abdominal surgery. Significant post-surgical morbidity, intestinal blockage, infertility, and chronic pelvic or abdominal pain can all be caused by adhesions.

Sales Analysis of Anti-Adhesion Barrier Gels Market from 2017 to 2021 Vs Market Outlook for 2022 to 2032

The global sales of the anti-adhesion barrier gels market are anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 8.4% between 2022 and 2032, owing to the Increase in the volume of sports-related injuries and subsequent surgeries.

The global anti-adhesion barrier gels market holds around 8.7% share of the overall global adhesion barriers market with an approximate value of around USD 1.0 Billion.

The incidence of accidental injuries has increased drastically over the last decade. Every year nearly 7 lacs or more children of age group 14 and younger are treated for injuries related to sports in hospital emergency rooms. The increasing number of leg-related accidents and adhesion is anticipated to further spur the demand for adhesion barrier gel and drive the global market over the forecast period.

The rising incidence of injuries at workplaces has also resulted in high demand for adhesion barrier gel. Among American children, traumatic brain injuries due to recreational activities are approximately 21 percent of all TBI cases.

There has been a noticeable rise in the number of cancer patients, patients with osteoporosis, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, burns, and trauma cases. The target pool of patients undergoing fracture repair surgery, spine surgery, arthroplasty surgery, and coronary artery bypass grafting has been on a consistent rise.

Hence, a large target patient pool, with a consistent rise in chronic diseases, and patients requiring adhesion barriers during the operating procedure are projected to create numerous opportunities for manufacturers in the global anti-adhesion barrier gels market.

Thus, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the global anti-adhesion barrier gels market is expected to grow at a lucrative pace, and reach a valuation of around USD 209.8 Million during the year 2032.

Anti-Adhesion Barrier Gels Market

What are the Key Opportunities for the Manufacturers Operating in Anti-Adhesion Barrier Gels Market?

The market for anti-adhesion barrier gels is anticipated to expand due to the growing need and demand for adhesion prevention and the growing incidence of Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction (ASBO).

Post-surgical adhesions in pelvic and abdominal surgeries are becoming a common concern for physicians as well as for patients. For instance, as per the latest publication of Cellmid Limited - a developer of midkine antibodies for adhesion treatment, 95% of abdominal surgeries eventually lead to complications arising from tissue adhesions and 6% of cases lead to readmission.

Intra-abdominal adhesions are the most common and serious cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO) and 65-75% of SBO cases are associated with postoperative adhesions. As per survey results from the Department of Surgery, University of Calgary, 5.7% of hospital readmissions in Canada are related to adhesions and 3.8% of them require surgical management

Investing in business inorganically has been the hallmark to bring strong business growth and most players in the adhesion barriers market are following this trend, which directly contributes to revenue growth, increasing product portfolio, and expanding presence and distribution network in different geographies.

In both open and laparoscopic surgery, adhesion barriers lower the incidence of adhesion and the incidence of adhesion small intestinal obstruction. Compared to open surgery with no adhesion barrier, costs are lower. In laparoscopic procedures, the use of anti-adhesion barriers can be economically advantageous.

Additionally, adhesion barriers are the most effective at preventing post-operative adhesions in cardiovascular procedures due to their high penetration rate.

What are the Factors Restraining Demand for Anti-Adhesion Barrier Gels?

The market for anti-adhesion barrier gels is expected to grow as a result of the rise in the number of surgical procedures in different medical streams. However, some elements may limit its capacity to expand.

The high cost of surgeries along with the cost of adhesion barriers that are used in surgery or post-surgery is expected to hamper the growth of the adhesion barriers market in most emerging countries. This is mainly because there is a limitation in proper reimbursement scenarios for using adhesion barrier-based surgery.

Surgeons are reluctant to utilize adhesion barriers despite being aware of the harmful effect of adhesion because there is a dearth of limited solid clinical evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of commercially available adhesion barrier solutions.

Adhesion barrier safety and effectiveness problems can make it challenging for businesses to obtain marketing permits for their goods. Additionally, because of inadequate clinical results, licensed adhesion barrier products have been removed from the market during the past few years.

All these factors are expected to hamper the growth of the anti-adhesion barrier gels market over the forecast duration.
