수의용 봉합사 시장 기회, 성장요인, 업계 동향 분석 및 예측(2026-2035년)

The Global Veterinary Sutures Market was valued at USD 246.6 million in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach USD 422.2 million by 2035.

The market is driven by the rising pet population and the growing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions among animals. With pets increasingly regarded as family members, demand for advanced veterinary care, including surgical procedures, has surged. Veterinary sutures are critical medical tools used by veterinarians to close wounds and secure surgical incisions, ensuring proper healing. The market benefits from innovations in suture materials that reduce infection risks and enhance tissue repair, improving clinical outcomes. Expansion of veterinary hospitals and clinics across both developed and emerging regions has improved access to surgical care. Sutures, available in absorbable and non-absorbable forms, are designed for biocompatibility, durability, and safety across species, ensuring effective wound management and faster recovery. As animal healthcare awareness grows, adoption of advanced veterinary sutures continues to rise globally.

The absorbable sutures segment held a 65.4% share, valued at USD 161.3 million in 2025. Absorbable sutures, including polyglycolic acid, polyglactin, and other types, are favored for convenience since they do not require removal, reducing the need for follow-up visits. Their broad applicability across soft tissue surgeries, routine wound closures, and internal procedures contributes to their dominance, making them highly preferred by veterinarians and pet owners.

The small and medium animal segment is projected to reach USD 344.9 million by 2035. Growth in this segment is fueled by the increasing population of dogs, cats, and other small to medium pets, along with pet owners' willingness to invest in advanced veterinary care. These animals undergo a variety of surgical procedures, from routine operations to complex interventions, creating consistent demand for diverse suture types.

North America Veterinary Sutures Market held the largest share of 39.7% in 2025. Market growth in the region is driven by a substantial pet population, strong awareness of animal health, and a well-established veterinary care infrastructure. The rising adoption of pet insurance also supports market expansion by enabling owners to invest more in quality surgical care.
