These biological materials make medical implants and gadgets that replace or complement natural bodily functions. Since the body is resistant to any foreign material to supplement its biological processes totally, implantable biomaterials are designed to decrease the negative immune reaction while maintaining proper performance. These biomaterials communicate with biological systems for medical purposes, including as a form of therapy of cardiovascular, dental care, orthopedic, and neurological illnesses. The requirement for biomaterial-based implants is anticipated to increase due to the higher incidence of musculoskeletal and persistent skeletal medical disorders, fueling market expansion. Many older people need care due to their high susceptibility to illness, low immunity, and slow healing. Age-related changes to tendons and ligaments result in decreased flexibility and a more constrained range of motion in joints.


The prevalence of chronic illnesses, particularly cardiovascular conditions, in the elderly, increases the demand for implants and prosthetics. Additionally, orthopedic diseases, musculoskeletal traumas, ophthalmic conditions, and dental problems are more prevalent among the elderly. The growing elderly population at a higher risk of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal problems is another factor driving up demand for orthopedic implants. Diverse biomaterial and biomedical device development is required for coronavirus detection and treatment. However, the prohibitively priced nature of biomaterial implants and issues associated with compatibility are anticipated to impede market expansion. 


On the other hand, during the forecast period, the introduction of new technologies, such as hydrogen scaffolding and decellularized dermal matrixes for grafting, along with the introduction of new products in the fields of plastic surgery, healing of wounds, and neurology, are anticipated to present lucrative opportunities for the market's expansion. Biomaterials are becoming more useful and adaptable thanks to technological medical developments like tissue engineering and bioengineering. The growth of this market is driven by the development of smart biomaterials that communicate with biological systems for various biomedical uses, such as the transfer of bioactive chemicals and cellular activity of designed functional tissues. Companies are adopting new drug delivery techniques for the regulated release of medications, which is driving the market.


News: The University of Birmingham Enterprise launched the Birmingham Dental and Biomaterials Testing Service (BiMaTs), offering advice and a thorough materials testing service to dental and biomaterial businesses. Professor Josette Camilleri and Professor Will Palin, two highly esteemed academic scholars, are the co-founders of BiMaTs. The core of BiMaTs will be the consultancy component, which will provide various services to evaluate the mechanical, physical, and biological characteristics of materials and the interfaces between materials and tissues, including creating protocols tailored to specific clients' requirements.


Biomaterials Market Trends



  • Rising older population to propel market growth


The elderly population needs significant care because of their high susceptibility to sickness, low immunity, and lengthy recovery times. Age-related alterations to tendons and ligaments cause joints to become less flexible and have more limited range of motion. Chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disorders, are more likely to strike the elderly, increasing the need for implants and prosthetics. Additionally, elderly persons are more likely to experience orthopedic conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, ocular conditions, and dental issues. Implants including hip joints, knee joints, pacemakers, intraocular lenses, and prosthetic heart valves become more necessary as a result. Its need is rising globally due to the greater likelihood of organ or tissue failure in elderly persons, which can be treated. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.

Furthermore, globally, there is a growing need for biomaterials in a variety of medicinal applications. Numerous governmental organisations have offered their assistance in the form of grants, investments, and funding to support research into the creation of innovative biomaterials. For instance, the NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) of the NIH on September 13 awarded a $1.5 million SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Phase II grant to ViVita Technologies, Inc., a life science startup producing bioactive biomaterials for tissue and organ regeneration (National Institutes of Health). With the help of this financing, the BARE (Biocompatible and Regenerative Extracellular Matrix) Patch product can now be evaluated and finalised in preparation for FDA 510(k) clearance for clinical cardiovascular indications and to serve as the basis for an IDE application for heart valve indications.


However, one of the biggest causes of death in the world is cardiovascular disease. Although surgical and pharmaceutical interventions significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with cardiovascular disease, less expensive and invasive procedures are always preferred. Both natural and synthetic biomaterials have a lot of potential for heart regeneration and repair. Utilizing injectable biomaterials improves angiogenesis, preserves heart function, and reduces left ventricular dilatation. Thus, it is anticipated that during the forecast period, the rising prevalence of cardiovascular illnesses would drive this market's growth. For instance, the CDC estimates that cardiovascular disease is the country's biggest cause of death in 2019, accounting for an estimated 1 in 4 fatalities annually. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate biomaterials market revenue globally.
