Adhesion Barrier Market Dynamics
Driver: Increase in the volume of surgeries and sports-related injuries
Adhesion formation is a major post-surgical complication and requires repeat surgeries for treatment in affected patients. Post-surgical adhesions lead to different complications in different surgeries, such as severe abdominal pain in the case of abdominal surgeries, infertility in women after gynecological surgeries, and physical impairment of patients after neurological surgeries. Considering the severe effects of post-surgery adhesions in patients, the importance of products such as adhesion barriers is increasing in the market. Also, considering the growth in the number of surgeries performed globally, the importance of these products will be more pronounced in the coming years.
Restraint: Reluctance of surgeons to use adhesion barriers
Even though surgeons are aware of these risks, they are reluctant to use adhesion barriers owing to the lack of/limited reliable clinical evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of commercialized adhesion barrier products. Also, due to issues regarding the safety and efficacy of adhesion barriers, companies find it difficult to get marketing approvals for their products. Also, over the last few years, the market has witnessed the discontinuation of approved adhesion barrier products due to poor clinical outcomes.
Opportunity: Untapped emerging markets
The penetration of adhesion barriers is very low in the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. In the coming years, countries such as South Korea, China, India, Mexico, and Brazil are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the adhesion barriers market as these countries have a large patient base for target indications, such as cardiovascular, orthopedic, general/abdominal, and gynecological disorders. The number of surgical procedures, such as cardiac surgeries, general and abdominal surgeries, urological surgeries, gynecological surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries, is also on the rise in countries across emerging markets. Also, the number of surgeries being performed across APAC and the Middle East is increasing, owing to an increased influx of medical tourists in these regions. The increasing disease burden and volume of surgical procedures performed in emerging markets are expected to create growth opportunities for key players operating in the adhesion barriers market.
Challenge: Stringent regulations leading to limited technological innovations
The development of new adhesion barriers requires significant investments, and new products generally take more than 7–8 years to gain marketing approval. The cost and time required for a product to enter the clinical trial stage and then clear the clinical trials are very high, with minimum chances of the product gaining approval. Also, the possibility of obtaining clinically significant data showing efficacy and safety has been low for most adhesion barriers, barring a few. Hence, despite huge investments in R&D, the risk of failure is very high in the case of adhesion barriers. This is a major factor limiting the development of novel adhesion barriers in the market.

The synthetic adhesion barrier product segment of the adhesion barrier industry is expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period.
Synthetic adhesion barriers are the most widely used post-surgical adhesion prevention products this segment accounted for the largest share of the adhesion barrier market in 2022 and is growing at the fastest rate with the highest CAGR. Owing to their resorbable features, synthetic barriers help prevent the requirement for a second surgery for implant removal. they are more cost-effective than natural adhesion barriers.
By formulation, the film-based formulations accounted for the largest share of the adhesion barrier industry in 2022
Depending on formulation type, the adhesion barrier market is segmented into film formulations, gel formulations, and liquid formulations. In 2022, film formulations dominated this market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the availability of a wide range of film-form adhesion barriers and the strong clinical evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of these adhesion barriers. These factors, coupled with their ease of use, have increased the adoption of film-form adhesion barriers among surgeons as compared to gel- and liquid-form adhesion barriers.
By End User, the hospital and clinics accounted for the largest share of the adhesion barrier industry in 2022
Depending on end user, the adhesion barrier market is segmented hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers and other end users. In 2022, hospitals & clinics dominated this market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the fact that the large number of surgerical procedures are performed in the hospitals.
APAC region of the adhesion barrier industry will grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
The adhesion barrier market, by region, is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. The Asia Pacific is the most lucrative healthcare market, owing to its large population and growing healthcare sector. Factors such as the rapid economic growth in China and Japan, presence of a universal healthcare reimbursement policy, large and growing population in countries like China and India, overall increasing disease prevalence at an alarming rate is leading Asia Pacific to grow at the fastest rate. Moreover, the government initiatives, such as the setting up of new healthcare systems for the aging population and increasing funds for infrastructural improvements in healthcare facilities and the increased demand for surgical interventions are driving the demand for better healthcare facilities, medical devices, and technologies in the region.
