Surgical Staplers Market size is evaluated at USD 5.9 billion in 2024 and is poised to cross USD 13.1 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of surgical staplers is estimated at USD 6.3 billion.
The surgical staplers market has been rapidly expanding in recent years owing to the rising number of surgeries across the globe. The adoption of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) such as laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures in hospitals, ambulatory care units, and other healthcare centers has exponentially increased. According to The International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) 2021 report, around 99.2% of bariatric surgeries were performed laparoscopically between 2016 and 2020 worldwide. This has resulted in high demand for different types of efficient and advanced stapling devices and solutions.
A high preference for robotic-assisted surgeries due to smaller incisions and reduced recovery time is another factor expected to boost sales of various types of surgical staplers. These staplers act as an essential tool in such surgeries as they allow precise closure of small incisions, compared to traditional suturing techniques. In June 2021, Intuitive India announced the launch of a robotic-assisted surgical stapler, SureForm integrated with SmartFire technology and software. Surgeons can fire the stapler from the console while forming the robotic-assisted surgery. Moreover, as the global healthcare infrastructure is improving, especially in emerging economies, demand for advanced surgical procedures and stapling devices is increasing.

Type (Disposable, Reusable)
The reusable segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 62.5% in 2024 and is expected to continue leading between 2025 and 2037 attributable to the rising number of surgeries across the globe and a high preference for multiuse staplers due to its cost-effectiveness, reduction in overall environmental impact and better durability as compared to disposable ones. These reusable staplers are made from highly durable materials, capable of withstanding repeated use and sterilization. In addition, most of these staplers have replaceable components and cartilages, making them compatible with different surgeries. In November 2020, Dolphin Sutures, launched Duramate, a high-quality and pocket-friendly multi-use skin stapler in India.
End use (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Clinics)
The hospital segment in surgical staplers market is expected to witness staggering growth during the forecast period due to the increasing patient admissions and steady adoption of technologically advanced surgical devices, including stapling tools in medium to large hospitals worldwide. Different types of surgical staplers are widely used to close incisions made during various surgical procedures including abdominal, thoracic, and orthopedic operations. This leads to a growing demand for several surgical staplers including linear, circular, skin, and endoscopic. Moreover, improving healthcare infrastructure and rising investments by public and private sectors to build hospitals in remote areas is expected to boost surgical staplers market growth going ahead.

North America Market
The surgical staplers market in North America accounted for the largest revenue share of 42.3% in 2024 and is expected to continue dominating the global market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to factors such as high prevalence of chronic diseases, rising number of surgeries, and rapid advancements in minimally invasive techniques. The key players in this region are constantly focused on developing novel and highly accurate, low-pain surgical devices and products, including staplers.
The U.S. and Canada are the largest contributing countries in North America. In the U.S., the surgical staplers market is expected to flourish as the U.S. has the highest obesity rate in the world, resulting in a large number of bariatric surgeries. According to a survey by the National Institute of Health (NIH), 1 in 3 adults in this country are overweight. This has encouraged manufacturing giants to launch novel products. For instance, in August 2022, Teleflex announced its plan to extend its surgical stapling portfolio for bariatric surgery to cater to the rising demand across hospitals and other healthcare centers.
In Canada, the surgical staplers market is expected to witness steady growth owing to the high adoption of advanced stapling devices in surgical procedures, emergence of players, and increasing investments in R&D activities, and product launches. Rising healthcare spending is another factor expected to boost market growth going ahead. According to the NIH Report 2021, over 2 million surgeries, costing around $60 million are performed every year in Canada. This has resulted in increasing demand for advanced surgical staplers.
Asia Pacific Market Analysis
Asia Pacific is predicted to be the fastest-growing region for surgical staplers market between 2025 and 2037 attributed to a preference for stapling over sutures, improving overall healthcare infrastructure, and high adoption of advanced surgical stapling technology and devices. There has been a significant increase in the adoption of minimally invasive surgeries for colorectal, thoracic, gynecologic, and bariatric in APAC countries including India, China, Japan, and South Korea.
China is expected to hold the largest share of the surgical staplers market owing to fast-paced technological advancements, growing disposable income, and a rising number of surgeries. Key players in China are focused on launching novel products to cater to the demand. For instance, Ezisurg Medical Co. received an MDR certificate from TÜV Rheinland for its disposable powered endoscopic stapler and cartilage. This is one of the first MDR certificates issued by TÜV Rheinland for such staplers in Greater China.
In India, the surgical staplers market is expected to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period due to growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, improving healthcare facilities, and rising adoption of advanced stapling devices. Global companies such as Medtronic, B. Braun, and Johnson & Johnson’s are expanding their product base to meet to growing demand. For instance, in December 2020, Medtronic announced the launch of EEA Circular Stapler with Tri-staple technology in India. This is the first ever 3-row circular stapler with different height staples that offer consistent performance for a broad range of tissue thicknesses. Such expansions and innovations are expected to fuel market growth in India in the coming years.
The surgical staplers market is quite competitive with key players operating at global and regional levels. The market is dominated by several companies focused on innovation, partnerships, and strategic acquisitions to maintain their market position and enhance their product base. These key players are focused on developing novel and more effective stapling devices to cater to the rising number of surgeries across the globe and the growing adoption of minimally invasive techniques.
