How Will the Surgical Sponge Market Grow Over the Forecast Period Based on Its Expected CAGR?
Over the years, the surgical sponge market has experienced robust growth. It is projected to expand from $2.34 billion in 2024 to $2.48 billion in 2025, translating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. Factors attributing to the growth during the historic period include an increase in the number of surgeries, efficiency and safety leading to wider acceptance, hospitals and clinics adopting advanced surgical sponges, the expansion of healthcare facilities, and improved awareness and training programs.
The market for surgical sponges is predicted to experience substantial growth in the upcoming years, potentially reaching a value of $3.13 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The projected growth within this period is largely due to factors such as an increasing aged population, growing rates of chronic diseases, improved medical services in developing nations, advancements in sponge materials and detection methods, and the adoption of superior quality standards. Key trends for this market forecast include the incorporation of RFID technology into surgical sponges, sustainable and biodegradable agriculture, customized sponges for specific surgical operations, automation of sponge counting systems, and the inclusion of antimicrobial properties to decrease infection risks.
What Drivers Are Shaping the Growth of the Surgical Sponge Market?
The surgical sponge market’s expansion is projected to be fueled by the escalating number of surgical procedures. These procedures require healthcare professionals to use invasive techniques to treat diseases, injuries, or abnormalities. The growing number of surgeries is primarily attributed to the expanding older population, necessitating increased operations such as joint replacements and cardiovascular surgeries. Surgical sponges facilitate these procedures by absorbing blood and fluid, assuring a clean surgical area, and mitigating infection risk. For example, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an official Australian administration, reported that 735,500 patients were admitted for surgery from public hospital elective surgery waiting lists in 2022-23; an 18% hike from the prior year. Consequently, the rising number of surgical procedures is stimulating the growth of the surgical sponge market.
