India`s catgut sutures import market in 2024 continues to see a high level of concentration, with the top exporting countries being USA, Brazil, Spain, Georgia, and Italy. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) reflects this concentrated market. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.55% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -14.85%. This data suggests that while the market is experiencing overall growth, there may be some fluctuations in the import volumes of catgut sutures in India.

The India catgut sutures market is experiencing growth due to the increasing demand for surgical sutures in medical and veterinary applications. Catgut sutures are made from natural fibers and are biodegradable, making them suitable for wound closure and tissue approximation. The market`s growth is driven by factors such as the rising number of surgical procedures, the growth of healthcare infrastructure, and the need for reliable wound closure materials. Key players in the market include Dolphin Sutures India Pvt. Ltd., Assure Medical Disposables, Lotus Surgicals Pvt. Ltd., and Scanlon Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. These companies are leading manufacturers and suppliers of catgut sutures, providing high-quality and sterile sutures for medical professionals in India.
The India catgut sutures market is driven by several key factors. Firstly, catgut sutures are widely used in the medical and healthcare industry for wound closure and surgical procedures. The growth of the healthcare sector in India, increasing surgical procedures, and rising healthcare expenditure contribute to the demand for catgut sutures. Secondly, the preference for absorbable sutures that do not require removal after surgery fuels the adoption of catgut sutures in various medical applications. Additionally, the use of catgut sutures in veterinary medicine drives the market`s growth, catering to animal healthcare needs.
The India catgut sutures market faces challenges related to the shift towards synthetic sutures and alternative wound closure methods. Firstly, the preference for synthetic sutures, which offer better tensile strength retention and reduced tissue reaction, can impact the demand for catgut sutures. Convincing healthcare providers and practitioners about the benefits of catgut sutures and their specific applications will be important for market growth. Secondly, catgut sutures have a limited shelf life compared to synthetic sutures, which may influence the inventory management and distribution practices of medical suppliers. Ensuring sufficient availability and proper storage of catgut sutures will be crucial for meeting market demand. Moreover, the market may face challenges related to the increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques, where sutures may be less commonly used. Educating healthcare professionals about the appropriate use of catgut sutures in various surgical procedures will be important for market acceptance and growth.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused disruptions in elective surgeries, leading to a temporary decline in the India Catgut Sutures Market. However, the market rebounded as medical procedures gradually resumed, and the demand for surgical sutures picked up.
The India catgut sutures market is catered to by various key players in the medical devices and healthcare industry. Some prominent companies in this sector include Dolphin Sutures India Pvt. Ltd., Surgical Sutures Ltd., Lotus Surgicals Pvt. Ltd., and Huaiyin Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. These companies manufacture catgut sutures used in surgical procedures for wound closure. Their focus on product quality, sterilization, and compliance with medical standards has positioned them as leading suppliers in the catgut sutures market in India.
