The global dental sutures market size was valued at around USD 482.45 Million in 2022 and is estimated to reach around USD 850.35 Million by 2031 , expanding at a CAGR of around 6.5% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising prevalence of dental disorder and increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry.
Sutures, also known as stitches, are sterile surgical threads used to close wounds, cuts, and incisions from surgery. Dental sutures are used to close wounds from wisdom tooth extraction, surgical extraction, dental implants, Alveoloplasty, bone graft, and others. Dental sutures, when placed properly and removed on time, offer several benefits such as minimizing post-operative bleeding and aiding in healing wounds and incisions.
Increasing oral diseases and dental disorders affect people by causing discomfort, pain, disfigurement, or death. In March 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that around 3.5 billion people across the globe are affected by oral diseases.

Based on the types, the market is bifurcated into absorbable and non-absorbable. The absorbable segment is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period, as absorbable sutures do not drag tissues or have less tissue reactivity. Increasing use of absorbable sutures in cosmetic dental procedures drives the global dental sutures market.
In terms of materials, the market is divided into natural material and synthetic material. The synthetic material segment is estimated to boost the market during the forecast period, as synthetic sutures are more predictable, easier to handle, have low tissue reactivity, and have high tensile strength than natural sutures. Natural material segment is estimated to expand in the coming years, as natural sutures such as silk suture are utilized regularly in securing of surgical drains.
On the basis of techniques, the market is segregated into crisscross sutures, mattress sutures, continuous simple sutures, and interrupted simple sutures. The interrupted simple sutures segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, as it is the most commonly used technique of suturing. Rapid wound healing, thin scars, and cosmetically appealing outcomes are some of the key factors aid in the expansion of the interrupted simple sutures segment; thus, driving the global dental sutures market.
Based on end-users, the market is divided into dental clinics, hospitals, and others. The dental clinic segment is projected to hold a key market share during the forecast period, due to growing prevalence of dental disorders and oral diseases and rising demand for cosmetic dental device. Technological advancements in dental healthcare and increasing awareness of dental health among patients are estimated to facilitate the expansion of dental clinic segment in the coming years.
In terms of regions, the market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is expected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, due to increasing geriatric population and the presence of major key players in the region. Emergence of innovative dental treatment technology and devices drive the market in North America.
