In the year 2015, the global demand for medical ceramics was valued at $3,850 million and is anticipated to inflate with a CAGR of 6.2% to reach a value of $5,841 million by 2022. Medical ceramics are materials that are utilized for a variety of human contact and non-contact applications in the medical industry. These materials are chiefly used in the manufacture of medical implants, devices, disposables (gloves, vials, tools), and packaging. Medical ceramics are biocompatible in nature and either remain inert or are easily processed by the human body.
Medical ceramics are classified into bio-inert, bio-active, bio-resorbable, and piezo-ceramics. Bio-inert ceramics form bulk of the medical ceramics market and include aluminum oxide, zirconia, and carbon. Key bio-active ceramics, such as are hydroxyapatite (HAP), glass & bioglass, and zirconiaalumina composite, are used as formative materials as well as coatings for implants, devices, and disposables. Piezo-ceramics have gained popularity for use within electronic implants due to their tolerance for extreme temperatures.

HAP and Zirconia were rated as top investment pockets in the medical ceramics market. Both these ceramics are low-volume, high-value products, which are mostly used in medical implants. Zirconiaalumina composite and carbon segments are gaining popularity for use in medical implants. Moreover, carbon is easily available at very competitive prices, making it a preferred material for several products.
Aluminum oxide is the most consumed medical ceramic and is used in implants as well as medical devices. Glass and bioglass are bio-active ceramics used for disposable and packaging. Piezo- and bio-resorbable ceramics have gained interest through increased adoption in medical devices and implantable devices. However, these segments are at initial stages of development and are costlier than their counterparts.
Growth In Sales of Medical Implants and Devices
Demand for medical ceramics is directly dependent upon the sales of medical implants and devices. The sharp rise in global population and increase in geriatric population are major drivers for rise in sales of the medical devices and implants. The acceptance for medical implants has increased worldwide among patients and doctors. For instance, a number of patients worldwide opt for joint reconstruction surgeries to improve their quality of life.
According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, between 2001 and 2010, there has been an increase of 92% in patients over 75 years of age opting for total hip replacement, while for patients in the age group 4554, the rise has been a 205%. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, approximately 3 million people have dental implants, which is growing by 500,000 every year.
