The growing demand for medical ceramics in plastic surgeries and wound healing applications, the increasing demand for implantable devices, and the rising number of hip and knee replacement procedures are the major driving factors of this market. 

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.
