The biomaterials refer to manmade substances that can be utilized to support tissues or structures in the body. These are natural or synthetic materials that are used in medical applications to support, enhance, or replace damaged tissue or a biological function.
The main types of biomaterials are metallic biomaterial, polymeric biomaterials, natural biomaterials and ceramics. The metallic biomaterials are stainless steels, titanium alloys, and cobalt alloys used to provide internal support to biological tissues. The metallic biomaterials are manmade systems that are utilized in joint replacements, dental implants, orthopedic fixations, and stents to offer internal support to biological tissues. Biomaterials have a wide application in cardiovascular, orthopedic, ophthalmology, dental, plastic surgery, wound healing, tissue engineering and neurological/central nervous system and are used in hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgical centers and other end users.
The biomaterials market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides biomaterials market statistics, including biomaterials industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a biomaterials market share, detailed biomaterials market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the biomaterials industry. This biomaterials market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The biomaterials market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $134.31 billion in 2024 to $153.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing aging population, adoption of biomaterials in orthopedic and dental applications, increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, increased prevalence of chronic conditions medicine, increased demand for medical implants.
The biomaterials market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $262.56 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shifting consumer preferences, surge in demand for biomaterials in 3d printing and additive manufacturing, expansion of the biodegradable and bioresorbable biomaterials segment, adoption of biomaterials in drug delivery systems for personalized medicine, increasing use of biomaterials in wound care and tissue regeneration. Major trends in the forecast period include development of smart biomaterials with responsive and adaptive properties, integration of nanotechnology for enhanced functionality, emphasis on precision medicine leading to customized biomaterial solutions, exploration of marine and plant-derived biomaterial sources, collaboration between biomaterial companies and healthcare institutions for innovative applications.
The growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is propelling the expansion of the biomaterials market. Cardiovascular disorders stem from factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, and inactivity. The rise in cardiovascular disorder cases is largely attributed to noncommunicable diseases like diabetes, chronic respiratory illnesses, coronary artery disease (CAD), and heart attacks related to hypertension. Biomaterials, including heart valves, cardiopulmonary bypass systems, stents, vascular grafts, complete artificial hearts, and pacemakers, serve as healing mechanisms for damaged and diseased heart tissue. For instance, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US government agency, indicated in May 2024 that there were 702,880 deaths from heart disease in the United States in 2022, with 371,506 of those attributable to coronary artery disease. Consequently, the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to boost the demand for the biomaterials market.
The increasing healthcare spending will propel the growth of the biomaterials market. Healthcare spending refers to the total financial resources allocated for medical services, treatments, and healthcare infrastructure within a given period, typically on a national or institutional level. Healthcare spending is used in biomaterials for research and development, product development, procurement and adoption, and regulatory compliance. For instance, in September 2022, according to MedTech Europe, a Belgium-based European trade association representing the medical technology industries, in Europe, on average, approximately 11% of gross domestic product (GDP) is allocated to healthcare. Out of this, about 7. 6% is attributed to medical technologies. The spending on medical technology across European countries ranges from around 5% to 12% of the total healthcare expenditure. The per capita expenditure on medical technology in Europe stands at approximately $346. 08 (€284). Therefore, increasing healthcare spending will contribute to the growth of the biomaterials market.
Strategic partnerships are emerging as a significant trend in the biomaterials market. Leading companies are increasingly focusing on collaborations to develop new implants and combination devices based on biomaterials, leveraging each other's expertise, technology, and resources. These partnerships also aim to boost the adoption of biomaterials. By joining forces, companies can gain a competitive advantage in the market and enhance revenue. For example, in June 2023, IFF, a US-based corporation, launched the Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials (DEB) technology platform to meet the rising demand for sustainable, high-performance materials. This platform enables precise drug delivery through engineered enzymes that release therapeutic agents in response to specific biological cues. It is also vital in tissue engineering, where enzymatic reactions promote tissue regeneration by facilitating cell growth and allowing controlled degradation of scaffolds at predetermined rates. The DEB technology enables the customization of biobased polysaccharides that can match or surpass the performance of traditional petroleum-based polymers, thereby facilitating greater market adoption.
Major companies operating in the biomaterials market focus on technological advancements, such as the designed enzymatic biomaterials (DEB) technology platform, to deliver sustainable biopolymers and gain a competitive advantage. The enzymatic biomaterials (DEB) technology platform involves the use of enzymes to design and modify materials for various applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. For instance, in June 2023, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a US-based producer of flavors, fragrances, and cosmetic actives, launched the enzymatic biomaterials technology platform for the development of biobased materials at scale. Designed to deliver meaningful sustainability benefits with performance comparable to or superior to fossil-based materials, DEB technology helps to address growing preferences for environmentally friendly, high-performance biopolymers. The technology platform allows producers to fulfill regulatory changes and increasing consumer demand by replacing traditional fossil-based synthetic polymers.
In October 2024, RTI Surgical (RTI), a US-based medical equipment manufacturing company, acquired Collagen Solutions plc for an undisclosed amount. The objective of RTI Surgical's acquisition of Collagen Solutions is to broaden its soft tissue portfolio and improve its capabilities in the regenerative medicine sector. Collagen Solutions plc is a US-based supplier, developer, and manufacturer of medical-grade collagen, tissues, and other biomaterials for use in regenerative medicine, medical devices, and research.
