What are the leading drivers of growth in the surgical sponge market?
The surgical sponge market’s growth is expected to be driven by the escalating number of surgical procedures. These procedures, involving invasive methodologies utilised by healthcare professionals to treat diseases, injuries, or deformities, are seeing a surge predominantly due to an aging population. This has subsequently increased the demand for surgeries such as cardiovascular operations and joint replacements. Surgical sponges play a vital role during these procedures by absorbing blood and fluids to ensure a clear surgical area and minimise infection risk. For instance, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government administration in Australia, reported in December 2023 that there had been an 18% increase in patients admitted for surgery from public hospital elective surgery waiting lists in 2022-23, with 735,500 patients compared to 2021-22. Thus, the surgical sponge market is being driven by the upswing in surgical procedures.
