Posted by Nicky Arora on January 16th, 2020

The Global Bio-Implant Market size is expected to reach USD 102.7 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research., registering a 5.9% CAGR over the forecast period. Rising adoption of bio-implants as a primary treatment for various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) like heart failure and Brady arrhythmias is the major factor driving the market. According to a 2017 publication by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), almost 200,000 pacemakers are implanted in the U.S. every year. This can be attributed to increasing awareness pertinent to cosmetic prostheses, coupled with technological advancements in these prostheses.

Bio-implants have been introduced to cater to the rapidly growing requirement for replacing as well as assisting natural tissue in the human body. For instance, in 2017, Stryker launched the Mako total knee arthroplasty at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS). The technology, coupled with the company’s implant, will provide surgeons and patients a much improved implantation experience.

By product, the dental segment is expected to grow at a lucrative rate, with increasing dental issues across the globe aiding market growth. Apart from these, orthopedic implants and cardiac pacemakers are in continuous demand due to growing prevalence of CVDs and orthopedic conditions. According to WHO in a 2017 publication, almost 90% of the people above the age of 40 years suffered from inflammatory and degenerative diseases, leading to unbearable pain and immobility. This has upped demand for spinal and other orthopedic implants.

Continuous technological innovations in the field of implantable devices is set to drive the market for bio-implants. MRI-enabled pacemakers, leadless pacemakers, and implantable loop recorders are some of the most recent advancements in cardiovascular segments by leading players. Major companies operating in this market include Medtronic; St Jude Medical (Abbott); Stryker; DePuy Synthes; Zimmer Biomet; Organogenesis, Inc.; Arthrex, Inc.; Orthofix Holdings, Inc.; Cochlear Ltd.; and Exactech, Inc.
