The global biomaterials market was valued at USD 178.0 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2024 to 2030. The demand for biomaterial-based implants is driven by the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal and chronic skeletal conditions. Conditions such as osteoarthritis and degenerative diseases necessitate advanced biomaterials for interventions like joint replacements, which help restore mobility and alleviate pain.
Key Drivers of Growth:
Metallic Biomaterials
- Provide durable, long-lasting solutions.
- Improve functionality and enhance quality of life through integration with the body.
- Advancements in biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and integration capabilities drive their adoption.
Technological Advancements
Innovations in biomaterials promote healing, integration, and reduced complications post-implantation.
Developments in nanotechnology and polymer-based constructs enhance the ability to mimic natural biological structures, enabling better treatment outcomes.
Example: Evonik’s VESTAKEEP iC4800 3DF PEEK filament (2022) improves implant-bone fusion.
Aging Population
The rise in chronic conditions and age-related injuries among older adults heightens the demand for
biomaterials, offering tailored solutions for this demographic.
Tissue Repair Applications
Biomaterials are increasingly used for replacing or repairing tissues like bones, teeth, and organs, addressing challenges such as donor shortages and immune rejection.
