The biomaterials market is defined and explained through the introduction of biotechnology and advances in the understanding of human tissue compatibility. Developing from bio-inert materials to biodegradable materials, biomaterials are widely used in medical devices, tissue replacement, and surface coating applications. The major segments in biomaterials market are ceramics, metals, polymers, and composites. Biomaterials products are classified into orthopedic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, wound care, urology, plastic surgery, and others. Reconstructive surgery and orthobiologics are the dominant segments in orthopedic biomaterials market.
Biomaterials products had a market size of $25.5 billion in 2008, and the biomaterial device market size was $115.4 billion in the same year, and is expected to reach $252.7 billion in 2014. This massive revenue potential highlights the immense opportunity in the market. In the next five years, the biomaterials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15%.
Improved patient benefits form the most important factor stimulating market growth for biomaterials. The other market drivers are increase in aging population, rising awareness, shorter product approval time, and larger application area. However, the lack of tissue availability and proper reimbursement facilities are restraining the growth of the biomaterials market.
Improvement in fabrication technology and new product development at competitive prices will be the key to future market growth. The U.S. and Europe hold a major share of the global biomaterials market; while emerging economies such as China, India, Japan, Brazil, Russia, and Romania represent a high growth rate.
