Asia Pacific Orthopedic Biometrial Market Trends

Asia Pacific Orthopedic Biomaterial Market Overview

Asia Pacific Orthopedic Biometrial Market Size was valued at USD 22.67 Billion in 2023. The Asia Pacific Orthopedic Biometrial industry is projected to grow from USD 23.88 Billion in 2024 to USD 42.23 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.64% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Orthopedic biomaterials are organic or synthetic materials used for the treatment of internal fractures. During the last decade different new techniques and materials are introduced for orthopedic implants and surgeries and biomaterials have found a vital role in it. 

These biomaterials are used in manufacturing of different implants since they do not evoke any immunological reactions with the body, which makes it a first choice for manufacturing of implants. Increasing demand for the orthopedic biomaterial because of its application in knee and hip replacement surgeries, and increasing incident of medical emergencies drive the Asia Pacific orthopedic biomaterial market.

Introduction of novel implants of titanium has increased the success rate of implant surgeries and also contributed to the growth of the orthopedic market in Asia Pacific. Moreover, increasing number of orthopedic surgeries, increasing aging population, and growing governmental support also drive the Asia Pacific market. However, increasing failure in joints implants, stringent regulatory laws, and high cost of treatment may hinder the growth of Asia Pacific orthopedic biomaterial market during the review period.

Orthopedic biomaterials might be artificial or natural. They are made to be inserted into a person's body as parts of machines that are intended to carry out certain biological tasks by replacing or mending various tissues. Orthopedic biomaterials are utilized for tissue fixation, spine implants, joint replacements, and other orthopedic procedures. Additionally, the need for next-generation orthopedic biomaterials specifically designed to fulfill the requirements of a particular orthopedic operation is on the rise globally. On the other hand, the market's expansion has been hampered by the restricted payment coverage alternatives for these devices and the falling reimbursement for orthopedic implants in several nations. Additionally, the lack of rebates has forced suppliers to reduce the cost of these products, which has slowed market expansion.

The growing geriatric population, rising incidence rates of accidents and sports-related injuries, rising awareness of orthopedic biomaterials, and introduction of novel products by major market players are a few of the factors anticipated to boost market growth over the forecast period. Fewer traffic accidents and injuries occurred due to the pandemic's widespread lockdowns, curtailing private and public transit. As a result, the focus of healthcare institutions shifted from operations to COVID-19 patients. This immediately affected the market during the early pandemic phase, especially in specialist hospitals. Increased bone fractures, disc degenerative disorders, and more trauma cases are predicted to increase product demand in this market. Due to factors like the rising geriatric population, increasing incidence rates of accidents and sports-related injuries, and rising awareness of orthopedic biomaterials.

CitrefixTM, a suture anchor system for surgical procedures on the foot and ankle, was introduced by Stryker. The new technology uses CitregenTM, a highly acclaimed bioresorbable substance created to imitate the composition and structure of natural bone. Citrefix is a resorbable, bio-inspired suture anchor system for single-use sutures. Citregen, an elastomeric substance formed from a citrate polymer and specifically created to imitate bone chemistry for regulated resorption without persistent inflammation, is used in its construction. These special chemical and mechanical qualities are intended to promote healthy bone growth and heal transplanted tissue when used in orthopedic surgical procedures.
