A hernia occurs when fatty tissue or an organ squeezes through a weak spot surrounding muscle or fascia. There are several types of hernia such as inguinal, femoral, incisional, hiatal, umbilical, etc. Out of all these types of hernia, 75-80% are inguinal, 3-10% are umbilical, 2% are ventral or incisional, and 1-3% belong to other types.

Inguinal and femoral hernias are caused due to weakened muscles that may have been present since birth or are associated with repeated strains on abdominal, groin areas, or even muscle weakness due to aging. Strains may occur due to physical exertion, pregnancy, obesity, constipation, or various other reasons.

A hernia is treated by either laparoscopic surgery or open hernia mesh repair surgery. Both these procedures have a different approach to treatment and are patient-specific. A laparoscopic procedure is less invasive when compared to open surgery or the traditional method of operating. In the case of bilateral hernias, the laparoscopic approach is recommended, and for unilateral hernias, an open approach is recommended by medical professionals. An open hernia mesh repair surgery can be performed by more surgeons than laparoscopic surgeries as advanced knowledge and necessary skills are required to perform this type of surgery.

Market Dynamics–

Improvements in healthcare systems and the substantial increase in necessary funding in this industry are factors boosting market growth opportunities for the laparoscopic and open hernia mesh repair industry. Increasing geriatric populations, the overall increasing in global populations, as well as the surging prevalence of obesity across the globe, are also factors expected to contribute to the revenue growth of this target market in years to come.

In developing countries, the adoption rate of advanced mesh repair procedures is lower when compared to developed nations, as this procedure is expensive, where medical professionals continue to utilize first-generation mesh products for treatment purposes. This is another major factor that could potentially hamper market growth prospects to a certain extent.

The advancements in mesh products, as well as R&D activities aimed at developing lightweight mesh products with improved weaves, are said to create lucrative opportunities for industry players to expand their respective product portfolios as well as their geographical presence.
