Adhesion Barrier Market size was over USD 980.14 million in 2024 and is set to cross USD 2.42 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 7.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of adhesion barrier is estimated at USD 1.03 billion. The reason behind the growth is due to the growing number of surgical procedures. Adhesion barriers have been shown to improve good surgical technique by minimizing post-operative adhesions as they facilitate the physical separation of tissues or organs during the recovery period following surgery. Moreover, adhesion development is a significant post-operative complication that affects patients and necessitates additional procedures for treatment necessitating the use of adhesion barriers to lower the chance of problems following surgery. Every year, more than 309 million major surgical procedures are carried out worldwide.
The growing technological advancements are believed to fuel the adhesion barrier market growth. More and more cutting-edge solutions such as the creation of sheet- and spray-type adhesion barriers are being introduced as a result of ongoing research and development activities, giving more efficacy and fewer adverse effects.

Formulation (Film/Mesh, Gel, Liquid)
The film/mesh segment in the adhesion barrier market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 35% in the coming years owing to the rising surgical procedures. The most prevalent kind of adhesion barrier, film formulations are constructed of a thin, flexible material that is positioned in between the organs and tissues during surgery and can be implanted in a patient by themselves as anti-adhesive barriers to prevent adhesions after surgery. According to estimates, in 2021, non-surgical operations rose by over 40% while surgical procedures rose by more than 50%.
Additionally, the gel segment is poised to garner significant market share during the forecast timeframe. Adhesion barrier gel serves as a barrier to stop or lessen post-surgical adhesions since it is sterile, clear, and highly viscous preventing fibroblast migration. It improves patient rehabilitation and is often used by gynecologists after surgical hysteroscopy in infertile women to reduce the creation of new adhesions.
Product (Synthetic Adhesion Barriers, Natural Adhesion Barriers)
Adhesion barrier market from the synthetic adhesion barriers segment is set to garner a notable share shortly. Synthetic adhesion barriers have become more and more popular in a variety of surgical procedures, including abdominal, gynecological, and cardiovascular surgeries as they are naturally able to contain a sizable amount of moisture, and are more efficient and safe for use in manufacturing. Moreover, synthetic adhesion barriers are more cost-effective and commercially available. Besides this, the natural adhesion barriers segment is anticipated to garner a significant share by the year 2037. Natural adhesion barriers are biologically sourced and they appear to sustain more potent anti-adhesion effects on oozing surfaces.
Application (Gynecological Surgeries, Abdominal General Surgeries, Orthopedic Surgeries, Cardiovascular Surgeries, Neurological Surgeries, Urological Surgeries)
The cardiovascular surgeries segment in the adhesion barrier market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share in the coming years. Since more than 40 years ago, adhesion barriers have been employed in cardiac surgery as they frequently result in postoperative intrapericardial adhesion, which raises the danger of consequences such as organ damage, and hemorrhage. Moreover, adhesions around the heart may make a second cardiac surgery more difficult therefore, in cases where a future reoperation is expected, the use of an adhesion barrier is advised.
Furthermore, the gynecological surgeries segment in the adhesion barrier market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast timeframe. After gynecological operations, a variety of anti-adhesive barriers can be applied as adhesion formation during gynecologic procedures is common and extremely problematic since it immediately causes difficulties and makes subsequent surgery more challenging.

North American Market Forecast
Adhesion barrier market in North America is predicted to account for the largest share of 36% by 2037 impelled by the rising spending in healthcare. More than everywhere else in the world, healthcare spending is soaring in the US as both private and public payer payments have increased, and the majority of the United States healthcare providers are private. As a result, there is an increasing focus on advanced medical technologies to prevent post-surgical complications which may create a huge demand for adhesion barriers in the region. According to estimates, in 2021, the United States spent more than 2% more on health care, amounting to around USD 4 trillion or roughly USD 12,910 per person.
APAC Market Statistics
The APAC adhesion barrier market is estimated to be the second largest, during the forecast timeframe led by a rising population. For instance, more than 50% of the world's population resides in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, with more than 1 billion inhabitants, India will continue to be the most populous nation through the end of the century, followed by China with over 760 million people. This is expected to increase the number of people requiring medical treatments, leading to higher demand for adhesion barriers in the region.
European Market Analysis
The adhesion barrier market in Europe is poised to hold a significant share by the end of 2037 driven by increasing health awareness. Europe has introduced several innovative and successful strategies to encourage good health and well-being through funding and legislation on a variety of subjects, including food, diseases, clean air, and more. As a result, people in the region are focusing more on post-surgical care which is expected to increase the demand for adhesion barriers.
