Market Trends of Global Orthopedic Biomaterials Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Orthopedic Biomaterials Market according to our research experts:
The Ceramics & Bioactive Glasses Segment in Orthopedic biomaterial is Estimated to Witness a Healthy Growth in Future.
The ceramics & bioactive glasses segment by material type is estimated to witness healthy growth in the future. This is attributed to the increasing adoption of several spine surgeries and interbody fusion procedures. In addition, an increase in synthetic cages and pedicle screws during fixation procedures drives segment growth. Synthetic cages and pedicle screws maintain stability in the target patient pool and increase allograft fusion rates.
According to the personalized orthopedics of the Palm Beaches in November 2021, knee replacement surgery is carried out about 800,000 times a year in the United States alone, and that number keeps rising. Moreover, according to a study by The University of Queensland, in June 2022, Researchers discovered that 57.7% of the 56,217 patients who had knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis (OA) were obese. Therefore, one factor that is also anticipated to fuel the segment's growth is the rising prevalence of obesity.
Additionally, in February 2022, Orthofix Medical launched a synthetic bioactive bone graft solution, Opus BA, a mix of carbonate apatite bone mineral, bioactive glass, and Type 1 collagen carrier for cervical and lumbar spine fusion procedures. Acting as a scaffold, Opus BA allows the bone to grow across the surface and is reabsorbed and replaced with a natural bone while healing. Such launches are propelling the growth of the segment.
Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market segment is expected to show growth over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to hold a significant market share in the global orthopedic biomaterials market due to the increasing number of the target population, surge in the geriatric population, high adoption of advanced products associated with orthopedics, and the presence of a large number of pharmaceutical companies dealing in orthopedics.
The increasing cases of knee injuries are one of the major drivers of segment growth. For instance, as per the report published by the Canadian Institute of Health Information in June 2021, knee replacements in Canada are among the top 3 inpatient surgeries which are performed each year.
Moreover, as per the 2021 report of the National Safety Council, in 2020, for all ages, injuries from bicycles and accessories were 425,910, injuries reported from exercise and exercise equipment were 377,939, injuries reported from ATVs, mopeds, minibikes, etc., was 229,974. From skateboards, scooters, and hoverboards, 217,646 injuries were reported in 2020. This prevalence of a high number of sports-related injuries in the region is expected to boost the demand for orthopedic bone cement and lead the market toward growth.
Additionally, the approval from the regulatory authorities is also propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in June 2022, CeramTec received the US FDA Administration breakthrough device designation for a novel ceramic total knee replacement device. Such approvals are boosting the growth of the market.
Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market is expected to show growth in the region.
