Bioresorbable medical materials are substances specifically engineered to be absorbed or broken down by the body over time. These materials find applications in various medical scenarios, including surgical implants and tissue engineering scaffolds. They offer several advantages compared to permanent implants, as they eliminate the need for surgical removal once they have fulfilled their intended function.
The primary types of bioresorbable medical materials include polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polysaccharides, polycaprolactone (PCL), and polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and bioresorbable polymer derived from renewable sources such as corn starch or sugarcane. PLA is commonly utilized in the production of bioresorbable medical materials, such as sutures, screws, and bone fixation devices. These materials serve diverse applications, including drug delivery and orthopedics, and are utilized by various end-users such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and research institutes.

This bioresorbable medical material market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The bioresorbable medical material market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.4 billion in 2023 to $1.55 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the limitations of traditional non-resorbable materials, advancements in polymer science leading to the development of bioresorbable materials, a surge in cardiovascular interventions utilizing these materials, the growth of the aging population, and the expansion of minimally invasive surgical procedures. These factors collectively contributed to the increased adoption of bioresorbable medical materials as a viable and advantageous alternative in various medical applications.
The bioresorbable medical material market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.24 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing demand for bioresorbable scaffolds, widespread adoption of bioresorbable materials across various medical applications, a rise in cardiovascular and orthopedic procedures utilizing these materials, a growing focus on patient comfort and faster recovery, and expanding applications in tissue engineering. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the customization of bioresorbable materials to suit specific medical applications, the integration of bioresorbable materials in drug delivery systems, the growth of 3D printing in the manufacturing of bioresorbable medical devices, the development of combination products featuring bioresorbable elements, and a heightened emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly medical materials. These trends signify the ongoing evolution of bioresorbable medical materials to meet diverse medical needs while aligning with the broader trends of customization, technological advancements, and sustainability in the healthcare industry.
The surge in surgical procedures is anticipated to significantly boost the bioresorbable medical material market's expansion. Surgical interventions involve incisions and specialized tools to treat diseases within the body. Bioresorbable polymers find extensive usage in molded medical equipment, notably in neurology, orthopedics, and cosmetic surgery. These materials are instrumental in producing items such as sutures, anchors, and screws. As an illustration, in 2022, as per the British Heart Foundation's report, the UK witnessed an increase in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) surgeries, rising from 5,676 in 2019/20 to 6,328 in 2020/21. Hence, the escalating number of surgeries acts as a driving force for the bioresorbable medical material market.
The burgeoning aging population is poised to drive the growth of the bioresorbable medical material market significantly. An aging population signifies a demographic shift marked by a higher percentage of individuals aged 65 and above within a society. The increased demand for medical interventions among the elderly, coupled with a preference for advanced bioresorbable solutions that alleviate the necessity for subsequent surgeries to remove implants, fuels the expansion of the bioresorbable medical materials market. For instance, in 2022, according to visual capitalist, a Canadian company specializing in visual content on contemporary trends, the global population aged 65+ years totaled 771 million, accounting for nearly 10% of the world's populace. Therefore, the growing aging demographic is a key driver behind the growth of the bioresorbable medical material market.
The emergence of innovative biomaterials stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction within the bioresorbable medical material market. Key industry players are placing emphasis on the development of pioneering biomaterials specifically designed for 3D printing applications, aiming to fortify their market standing. An exemplary instance involves Evonik Industries AG, a German-based specialty chemicals company renowned for its expertise in bioresorbable materials. In June 2021, Evonik introduced a novel 3D-printable PEEK biomaterial named VESTAKEEP Care M40 3DF, catering to medical technology. This polyether ether ketone filament enables body contact for up to 30 days and is compatible with prevalent extrusion-based 3D printing technologies such as fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused deposition modeling (FDM). This product launch marks Evonik's venture into broadening treatment options for patients through additive manufacturing techniques.
Prominent enterprises operating within the bioresorbable medical material sector are actively engaging in strategic alliances to fortify their market positions. Strategic collaborations empower these companies to unite with other firms possessing specialized expertise, enabling the transformation of conceptual ideas into tangible solutions. For instance, in December 2021, Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a pioneering US-based entity specializing in microscale 3D printing systems, formed a strategic partnership with 4D Biomaterials, a UK-based company focused on 3D printing materials. This collaboration aimed to utilize 4D Biomaterials' 4Degra bioresorbable materials in the micro-scale printing domain, achieving a significant milestone in printing bioresorbable materials using micro 3D printing technology. This innovation is poised to revolutionize the manufacturing landscape for implantable medical devices, showcasing the potential to address design intricacies and biocompatibility concerns encountered by medical device manufacturers. The amalgamation of BMF's innovative projection micro stereolithography (PµSL) approach with 4D Biomaterials' 4Degra resin inks signifies a breakthrough that holds promise in enhancing opportunities for implantable devices, ultimately advancing patient care standards.
