- Adhesion barriers are vital medical devices, available in liquid, gel, or film forms, used to prevent the formation of abnormal fibrous tissue connections between internal organs and tissues after surgical procedures, thereby minimizing complications and improving patient outcomes
- The increasing demand for adhesion barriers is primarily driven by the rising global volume of surgical procedures across various specialties, including gynecological, abdominal, cardiovascular, orthopedic, and neurological surgeries, coupled with growing awareness among healthcare professionals about the severe implications of post-operative adhesions
- North America dominates the adhesion barriers market with the largest revenue share of 38.7% in 2025, characterized by its advanced healthcare infrastructure, high adoption rates of innovative medical technologies, and a significant number of surgical procedures performed annually
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the adhesion barriers market during the forecast period due to improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing surgical volumes, and rising awareness about adhesion prevention in developing economies
- Synthetic adhesion barriers segment is expected to dominate the adhesion barriers market with a market share of 57.5% in 2025, driven by its engineered design for controlled tissue separation, biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, and the wide availability of advanced products such as hyaluronic acid and regenerated cellulose-based barriers
