Biomaterials Market Insights 2030:
The global biomaterials market size was valued at $64,874 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $2,12,405.2 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.7% from 2021 to 2030. Biomaterials are synthetic or natural materials that are artificially generated and employed in medical technology to improve the function of damaged tissues, bones, and organs. These biological materials are employed in medical devices and implants that supplement or replace natural body functions. Implantable biomaterials are meant to lessen the unfavorable immune reaction while preserving appropriate function because the body does not accept any foreign material to augment its biological activities completely. These biomaterials interact with biological systems for medical objectives, including the treatment of cardiovascular, dental, orthopedic, and neurological diseases.
Growth in geriatric population, rise in prevalence rates of cardiovascular and orthopedic disorders, advancement in medical technology, and increase in awareness regarding implantable devices drive the growth of the biomaterials market. In addition, rise in funding by government to increase R&D activities in the field of biomaterials and increase in awareness about the advantages of biomaterials products further drive growth of the market. However, high cost of biomaterial implants and compatibility issues are expected to restraint the growth of the market. On the other hand, introduction of new technologies, namely, decellularized dermal matrixes for grafting and hydrogen scaffolding, presenting new products in field of plastic surgery, wound healing, and neurology, are expected to offer profitable opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Impact Of Covid-19 On Biomaterials Market (Pre And Post Analysis)
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector globally. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut down temporarily, including several sub-domains of the healthcare sector. The revenue of global biomaterials market also declined in 2020 due to global economic recession led by COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the global economy and showed a huge impact on the functioning of general hospital care for non-COVID-19 patients in hospitals across the globe. As many hospitals and clinics remained closed due to lockdowns, the demand for orthopedic implants is expected to be subdued in the short term, which also decreases the demand for biomaterial. For instance, according to a study published in the British Journal of Surgery, in May 2020, based on 12 weeks of peak disruption to hospital services due to COVID-19, around 28.4 million elective surgeries globally were predicted to be canceled or postponed in 2020. Thus, with the delay of these non-emergent services, the demand for biomaterials decreases.
In addition, in March 2020, the American Dental Association (ADA) issued public guidance to postpone elective dental procedures. According to the ADA, the procedures needed to be postponed included oral examinations, routine cleaning, radiographs, cosmetic procedures, and orthodontic treatments without pain management. Furthermore, the pandemic had a major impact on the U.S., Japan, China, and many major European countries. Since most of these countries are major manufacturers of biomaterials, the pandemic and global lockdowns have caused a decline in sales of these products. This, in turn, had a slightly negative impact on the biomaterials market. However, the market is expected to recover in the next one to two years with the rise in R&D for rapid COVID-19 detection test using gold nanoparticles, which is expected to support the market growth.
