Dental Sutures Market 2025 – Market Size & Segments Analysis, Industry Trends, Manufacturers Analysis, Opportunities and Forecast 2034

Dental sutures are referred to the thread or a strand made of natural (gut, silk, etc.) or synthetic (PTFE, nylon, etc.) material utilized for wound closure in the mouth. It closes the tissue or open blood vessels by holding the tissue close to the bone, preventing the spread of infection.                    

MARKET OVERVIEW 

The market valuation of the dental sutures market was valued at approximately USD xx billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD xx billion in 2034 exhibiting a CAGR of xx.x% during the forecast period of 2025-2034. The market is aligned with healthcare sector, which makes it a sustainable and growing market.

GROWTH DRIVERS 

The rise in the prevalence of periodontal diseases and tooth loss is one of the key drivers of the market as it leads to surgeries where sutures are used to close the surgery wound. The WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) estimated that oral diseases affect close to 3.5 billion people worldwide, with 3 out of 4 people affected living in middle-income countries. Globally, an estimated 2 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth.

Severe periodontal diseases are estimated to affect around 19% of the global adult population, representing more than 1 billion cases worldwide. The rise in aging population is another significant driver of the market as older population are more incident to dental issues, generally due to tobacco consumption or age-related factors. WHO (World Health Organization) states that main risk factors for periodontal disease are poor oral hygiene and tobacco use.

Moreover, the United Nation highlights proportion of people aged 65 years and above is increasing at a faster rate than those below that age and the global population aged 65 and above is expected to rise from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050. The surge in the number of dental implant procedures drives the demand of the market where dental sutures are utilized in wound closure after the implant surgeries. As per American Academy of Implant Dentistry, 3 million people in the United States have implants, a number that is growing by 500,000 annually.
