Since Hungarian physician Humer Hultl invented the first modern stapler in 1908, this magical medical "stapler" has revolutionized the efficiency of surgical suture. Especially in 1968, the American Surgical Company made a breakthrough in inserting the blade into the stapler, realizing the dual functions of stapler suturing and cutting, increasing the scope of application of the stapler, and enabling the extensive development of endoscopic surgery.
The stapler is actually a clinically-used device that replaces traditional manual sutures. It uses titanium nails to break or anastomose tissues, that is, fire and implant two rows of interlaced sutures into the tissue for cross suture. The stapler is widely used in the surgical fields of cardiothoracic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, hepatobiliary spleen and pancreatic surgery, general surgery, urology, etc. It can improve the efficiency and quality of surgery, shorten the recovery time, reduce the pain of patients, and reduce medical costs.
According to different surgical methods, staplers can be divided into open staplers and endoscopic staplers (used for minimally invasive surgery); according to different structures and functions, staplers can be divided into linear staplers and circular staplers , Linear cutting stapler, purse-string stapler, skin fascia stapler, vascular stapler and other types.
The global stapler market has grown from USD 7.364 billion in 2015 to USD 9.018 billion in 2019, with a compound growth rate of approximately 5%. In the future, with the continuous advancement of modern technology and stapler technology, the demand for surgical treatment continues to increase, especially the continuous growth of minimally invasive surgical treatment, and the market scale of the stapler will continue to grow. According to forecasts, from 2019 to 2024, the global stapler market will grow at a compound growth rate of 5%. By 2024, the global stapler market will reach USD 11.509 billion.
The stapler market in China is increasing year by year. According to statistics, its market size has increased from 3.6 billion yuan in 2014 to 10.7 billion yuan in 2019, with an annual growth rate of 17%, and the growth rate of endoscopic staplers has exceeded 30%. Up to now, the domestic sales of endoscopic staplers have exceeded that of open staplers.
In terms of market competition, the current domestic stapler market is still dominated by foreign capital. In 2019, imported staplers account for about 70% of the overall market. Among them, endoscopic surgical staplers have the lowest import substitution rate due to their high technical level, and foreign brands account for more than 85% of the market. In the field of open staplers, domestic brands have gained 50% market share after years of hard work. Imported and domestic prices have approached and entered the Red Sea competition.
The current national centralized procurement policy is not only a challenge for domestic stapler companies, but also a development opportunity. The continuous R&D and innovation of industry brands will also promote the steady growth of the industry!
