The biomaterials market is expected to register a CAGR of 13.69%. Certain factors that are driving the growth of this market are new innovations in the field of biomaterials, growing implant devices and plastic surgery market, and increasing applications of biomaterials in wound care/ sports injury.
Key Highlights
- Various types of biomaterials, such as bioinert, bioactive, bioabsorbable, etc., have been developed to serve particular purposes in various applications. For example, bioinert biomaterials are developed to be inert or inactive when introduced into the body. The purpose is to prevent blood clotting by providing a surface in vascular surgery. The development of each unique type of biomaterial widened the area of application, and in turn, broadened the revenue generation in the market. In recent times, a wide range of biomaterials has been invented, such as the metallic, ceramic polymeric, and natural biomaterials. Each of these types has given rise to applications in specialty areas, ranging from neurology to plastic surgery.
- The use of biomaterials in drug delivery is one promising application that is making its mark in the market studied. As new and improved biomaterials are being developed, their applications are widening. These applications provide multiple revenue generating sources in the market studied. In the coming years, more inventions and improvements in biomaterials are expected to drive the growth of the market studied.
Key Market Trends
The Orthopedics Segment is believed to Witness the Fastest Growth
In the application segmentation of the biomaterials market, the orthopedics segment is believed to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period.
The orthopedics application of biomaterials is majorly comprised of bone graft substitutes, which include allograft, autograft, demineralized bone matrix, bone morphogenetic proteins, cell-based matrices, and synthetic bone graft substitutes.
BMP-2 (INFUSE), a recombinant DNA product, is one of the most renowned products by Medtronic that helps in faster fracture healing.
Bone graft substitutes find most of their applications in spinal fusion, trauma fixation, joint reconstruction, craniomaxillofacial fixation, dental fixations, and other applications. Growth factor enhanced grafts are expected to have a high growth rate in the market studied. This includes human growth factors or morphogens. There is a shift from autologous/allogeneic bone graft substitutes to synthetic bone graft substitutes. The technological advancements for better osteoinductivity, osteoconductivity, and osteogenicity are expected to propel the growth of the market studied.
