August 23rd, Smith+Nephew (LSE: SN, NYSE: SNN), a global medical technology company, announces that it has launched the OR3O Dual Mobility System in India for primary and revision hip arthroplasty. Dual mobility implants have small-diameter femoral heads that lock into larger polyethylene cups, resulting in increased stability, decreased risk of dislocation, and improved range of motion compared to traditional solutions. Unlike most hip replacements where you would find Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) liner alongside CoCr/SST or ceramic head balls, the OR3O uses Smith+Nephew's newest advanced bearing surface ‘OXINIUM DH’ for its liner along with proprietary OXINIUM on XLPE for its femoral head and polyethylene inserts. This gets rid of the modular CoCr liner or/and CoCr head ball in the construct – reducing wear and corrosion risk associated with the alloy.
One of the key reasons fueling the growth of this market is the increase in the number of medical procedures requiring implants, such as orthopedic and dental implants. For instance, the National Center for Biotechnology Information reported in December 2021 that the knee was the most frequently damaged joint among teenage athletes, with an anticipated 754,000 knee arthroplasty (replacement) surgeries performed ly in 2021. Moreover, the European Commission reports that 450,000 hip arthroplasty (replacement) surgeries were performed ly in 2019 as of July 2021. Technical ceramics are increasingly used in endo-prosthetics due to their superior frictional qualities of 0.5 to 1.0. There is an increasing demand for medical ceramics items including dental screws and bridges, valves, and femoral head implants for hip replacement due to the rise in trauma cases as a result of slips, trips, and falls and the necessity for medical intervention (orthopedics). The Economic Times said that by 2050, there would be around two billion individuals over 60, an increase of almost 20%. And this will lead to a surge in bone-related conditions where medical ceramics are utilized extensively, such as joint replacement, osteoporosis, and back discomfort, which will impressively drive the ceramic medical market. Also, the growing use of medical ceramics in dental procedures may stimulate the market for medical ceramics. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.
The worldwide market of medical ceramics is anticipated to be driven by the development of innovative product kinds with greater mechanical strengths and flexibility. For instance, the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) approved CeramTec GmbH's revolutionary ceramic complete knee replacement system on June 14, 2022. CeramTec GmbH is a German firm that produces and develops sophisticated ceramic components.
The sales of medical implants and gadgets are directly responsible for the rising popularity of medical ceramics. The dramatic increase in the world's population and the growth of the senior population are key factors in the rise in medical implants and equipment sales. The acceptance of medical implants has grown among patients and professionals everywhere. In general, many patients choose joint reproduction medical treatments to improve their level of pleasure. Over the anticipated period, these variables are projected to support the Medical Ceramics market revenue growth for medical ceramics.
Based on type, the market segments of Medical Ceramics includes Bioinert Ceramics, Bioactive Ceramics, Bioresorbable Ceramics, and Piezoceramics. The Bioinert Ceramics Medical Ceramics segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing to around ~65-67% of the revenue. The rise in periodontal disease cases, the number of knee and hip replacement operations, and the number of dental treatments will all contribute to market expansion. The worldwide market for medical ceramics is driven by several reasons, including the growing demand for medical ceramics in medical devices, technical advancements in medical ceramics, and government efforts that encourage medical ceramics.

Based on application, the Medical Ceramics market segmentation includes Dental Applications, Orthopedic Applications, Cardiovascular, Medical Devices, and Plastic Surgery. The dental applications segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2024-2032. The dentistry applications category accounted for the biggest revenue share in 2021. The increase in demand for dental restorations in dentistry can be attributed to the segment's growth. Dental brackets, crowns, veneers, implants, and fillings all contain ceramic materials. Fillings are frequently created using mercury, tin, and silver amalgams. Yet, resin-based filler materials are increasingly gaining popularity for both aesthetic and health reasons. Hence, rising dental restoration for Medical Ceramics positively impacts the market growth.
Based on End Users, the Medical Ceramics industry has been segmented into Hospitals & Clinics and Specialty Centers. Hospitals & Clinics held the largest segment share in 2022. The market revenue of this sector is primarily driven by a rise in patient load due to an increase in the incidence rate of joint ailments, dental issues, and a variety of other disorders. The segment's growth is also being fueled by finance alternatives and simple access to sophisticated operations because hospitals have top-notch medical facilities.
