Allied Market Research released a report on the hemostats market, which provides drivers, opportunities, and challenges. It offers analysis of the regions and a competitive landscape of the sector that accounted for $2.8 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $4.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the analysis period.
Hemostat is an instrument designed to clamp blood vessels or tissues to regulate and control bleeding during medical and surgical procedures. It acts like a pair of scissors that have locking handles, which allows surgeons to maintain a secure grip and apply pressure. This enables it to stop blood flow, which is called hemostasis. Hemostats compress blood vessels to manage bleeding, hold a tissue in place, or sometimes bluntly dissect a tissue during a procedure. Thus, hemostats reduce the risk of uncontrolled bleeding during surgeries, thereby reducing the procedure time, enabling quick wound healing, and decreasing the recovery period for patients.
An increase in orthopedic disorders fueling the demand for hemostats to reduce surgical injuries is expected to boost the hemostats market. In addition, surge in geriatric population also drives the growth of the market as elderly individuals are vulnerable and highly susceptible to numerous diseases that may need surgeries. Moreover, there has been an exponential rise in road accidents, which has led to an increase in surgical procedures, thereby fueling the demand for hemostats.
The report offers a thorough analysis of the hemostats domain with a detailed analysis of various key companies operating in the industry. It studies the current situation and offers an overview of future developments in the sector. The driving factors, restraints, and opportunities are studied in industry dynamics.
The hemostats market analysis is segmented into type, formulation, application, and region. By type, the thrombin-based hemostats segment dominated the global market in 2021; by formulation, the matrix & gel hemostats accounted for the largest share in 2021; and by application, the orthopedic surgery segment dominated the market in 2021.

Regional analysis
Region wise, North America dominated the hemostats market share in 2021 and is expected to dominate during the forecast period owing to advanced healthcare infrastructure, and presence of key players that offer hemostats. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest growth, owing to rise in surgical procedures and increase in healthcare expenditure in emerging economies.
Developments and innovations
Technological advancements and rise of personalized medicine are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the hemostats market growth. Absorbable hemostats are made from materials such as gelatin or oxidized regenerated cellulose that can dissolve in the body without having to remove them, which reduces complications and improves comfort for the patient.
Bioactive agents such as thrombin and fibrin are integrated into hemostatic products to enhance clot formation and wound healing. Innovations such as sprayable hemostats and gel formulations as delivery mechanisms to manage bleeding during complex surgical procedures.
AI driven hemostatic agents are being designed to analyze the wound and the environment around it to customize their response and offer a more personalized approach towards hemostasis. They can predict bleeding risk, optimize the selection of the hemostatic agent, and improve the precision of surgical hemostatic techniques. This technology is expected to revolutionize the medicine field by significantly improving patient outcomes and reducing the mortality rate due to severe hemorrhage.
Personalized hemostatic management is being researched that involves development of customized hemostatic strategies as per the individual needs of the patients based on their genetic profile, underlying medical conditions, and bleeding risks.
The naturally derived polysaccharides such as cellulose, starch, alginate, hyaluronic acid, dextran, and others are known for their hemostatic mechanisms. Development of bioengineered hemostatic agents and personalized management approaches is also being explored by key players.
Conclusion
Hemostats are crucial in various clinical scenarios such as surgery, trauma, and for people with bleeding disorders. Continued research and innovation are expected to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications associated with bleeding. The hemostats report by AMR analyzes and offers a study of the various aspects of the sector. It provides necessary information to the stakeholders and new industry entrants that seek a thorough analysis and understanding of the industry scenario.
