In March 2023, NuVision, a health tech company in Nottingham, received £1.1m for its wound-healing dressing and contact lenses for healing eye injuries that are made from the inner side of the placenta. In January 2023, Celularity, a US-based biomaterial products and placenta-derived allogenic cell therapies company and CH Trading Group, an international trading company, entered into a distribution agreement with Tamer Group, which is a key healthcare distributor in the Middle East.In November 2022, Verséa Ophthalmics introduced several products like Biovance – a hybrid next-generation amniotic membrane comprised of three layers of amnion called a triple layer.MiMEdx Group, Inc., the first to introduce placental biologics, began selling Amnioeffect. 

The effect is made up of chorion/amnion/intermediate membrane layers of the placenta by Purion process involving triple layer graft. The products can enhance surgical wound recovery.The SAS announced an agreement with Akorn Operating Company LLC, labeling them as branded ophthalmic products, including AcellFX, among others, giving them a presence in the US market. AcellFX means an acellular amniotic membrane covering or ocular surface repair.Amnio Technology also launched two brand new PalinGen membrane products- Dual Layer PalinGen X-Membrane & PalinGen Dual-Layer Membrane in February this year; both are homologous use only chorion-free & minimally manipulated.TissueTech acquired Amniox Medical, known as a pioneer developer of human birth tissue-based products, early this year in January 2022. 

This way, TissueTech would strengthen its presence within the market’s amniotic membrane sector and increase its product offerings.In June 2021, Amniox Medical launched an awareness campaign aimed at reducing the cost of care associated with wound healing caused by the burning of tissues. Moreover, burns are significantly reduced as they minimize inflammation and reduce pain. Hence, creating awareness about these advantages will lead to increased market growth.

Amniotic Membrane Market Trends

• The rising incidence of burn injuries is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for amniotic membranes is driven by increased demand for wound care biologics, including amniotic membranes. According to the WHO, most burn cases occur in low- and middle-income economies, and almost two-thirds appear in the WHO African and Southeast Asian regions. For instance, 1 million people in India suffer from moderate and severe burns yearly. The high incidence of burns is also high in other Southeast Asian regions, including Bangladesh and Nepal. An estimated 173,000 children suffer from mild or extreme burns in Bangladesh annually. In Nepal, burns are the second-most expected wound, accounting for 5% of all disabilities.

Additionally, increasing awareness in recent years has led to an increasing number of transplants, resulting in rising demand for these tissue-based solutions. This awareness has also increased in several donations, driving market revenue growth. For instance, In June 2021, Amniox Medical, Inc., a Tissue Tech, Inc. company and a pioneer in the clinical use of human birth tissue products, launched a new awareness campaign highlighting Amniox's comprehensive family of human birth tissue-based products to facilitate wound healing and minimize the related cost of care. The campaign highlights evidence-based quality management while examining the financial strain that treating complex wounds takes on the healthcare systems.

An expansion in the number of R&D activities for expanding the efficacy of amniotic membranes and developing new products is expected to assist in the market growth. For instance, in November 2020, an American regenerative medicine firm, Amnio Technology, started Phase II clinical tests to try the efficacy of their product PalinGen, an amniotic membrane allograft utilized for treating diabetic ulcers.

Moreover, physical beauty has become one of the most important components of one's personality, and maintaining a faultless appearance is one of today's most popular trends. Amniotic tissues aid in the healing of wounds and burns. In recent years, Indians have embraced many ophthalmology and cosmetic surgical treatments, likely to expand the country's amniotic membrane product suppliers. Due to increased amniotic dry eye therapy, India's market is predicted to grow by double digits. Amniotic membranes are often used as a biological bandage to heal or replace injured eye tissues during eye procedures. The expanding popularity of dry eye amniotic membrane therapy, increased awareness among the general public, increasing amniotic membrane application, and growing skin care treatments will all likely boost the amniotic membrane market revenue.

Amniotic Membrane Market Segment Insights

Amniotic Membrane Type Insights

The amniotic membrane market segmentation, based on type, includes cryopreservation amniotic membrane and lyophilized amniotic membrane. The cryopreservation amniotic membrane segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (0.44 Billion). In developing economies, category growth is driven due to its elevated effectiveness and high adoption rates globally. This type of cryopreserved membrane is usually held in a cell culture medium that comprises 50% glycerol at a temperature of -80 °C. However, lyophilized amniotic membrane is the fastest-growing category owing to the arrangement of this membrane has not been associated with any substantial adverse reactions or unpredictable long-term consequences.

Amniotic Membrane Application Insights

The amniotic membrane market segmentation, based on application, includes surgical wounds, ophthalmology, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, prenatal diagnosis, and others. The surgical wounds category generated the most income (70.4%). This is majorly the rising number of chronic and infectious diseases and a rise in surgeries. Amniotic membranes are used in reconstructive surgeries to promote healing and reduce scarring. However, ophthalmology is the fastest-growing category due to the increasing use of tissue-based products in ocular treatments.

Amniotic Membrane End User Insights

The amniotic membrane market segmentation, based on end users, includes hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, research centers & laboratories, and others. The hospital & clinics category generated the most income over the forecast period. This is majorly due to frequent patient visits as hospitals are the immediate care settings enabling effortless treatment for various diseases. However, research centers & laboratory is the fastest-growing category due to the growing government initiatives to improve the healthcare infrastructure of the middle-class population in developing economies.
