According to market research report, "Medical Ceramics Market by Material (Bioinert (Zirconia, Aluminium), Bioactive (Glass, Hydroxyapatite), Bioresorbable Ceramics), Application (Dental Application, Orthopedic Application, Plastic Surgery, Surgical Instruments) - Global Forecast to 2027", is projected to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2027 from USD 2.6 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2022 to 2027.

The growth of the global medical ceramics market can be attributed to factors such as increasing research activities for the development of novel medical ceramics, growing demand for medical ceramics in plastic surgeries & wound healing applications; the rising number of hip & knee replacement procedures.

The rising incidence of age-related disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and fractures) and sports injuries drives the demand for knee and hip replacement procedures worldwide.

According to the WHO, osteoarthritis will be the world’s fourth-leading cause of disability by 2020. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), by 2030, ~3.5 million knee replacement procedures will be performed annually in the US. Also, by 2030, it is estimated that more than 570,000 primary total hip replacement procedures will be performed annually in the US. 

The zirconia segment accounted for the largest share of the bioinert ceramics market, by type, in 2021
