According to our new research study on " Knee Cartilage Repair Service Market Forecast to 2030 - Global Analysis - Procedure Type, and End User," the knee cartilage repair service market size was valued at US$ 0.222 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 0.344 billion by 2030. It is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.5% during 2020-2030.
Knee cartilage repair is a type of treatment for knee preservation. The knee cartilage damage usually occurs in younger people (less than 50 years) as a result of twisted knee, smashed kneecap, or fractured knee. Cartilage may wear down over time as part of natural aging for the people over 50. Knee cartilage repair depends on factors including the depth, size, and location of the torn knee cartilage, associated knee injuries, patient's activity level, and patient's weight and age. Although a few cartilage injuries can be treated non-operatively, a surgical knee cartilage treatment is commonly recommended in cases with a focal cartilage defect. The most common knee cartilage repair procedures are microfracture and chondroplasty.
Advantages Support cell-laden bioinks Superior vertical structure fidelity Medium printing speed
Moderate-resolution High resolution High cell viability (>85%)
Improved shape fidelity Mild condition for cells (viability: 85-95%)
Disadvantages Slow printing speed Separating force between the platform and the printed surface Poor structure fidelity
Inferior cell viability (40-80%) May need the addition of a cytotoxic photo initiator Low cell density (<106 cells mL - 1)
Expensive

At present, 3D bioprinting is highly used in articular cartilage repair, which generally cannot self-regenerate as it lacks vessels and nerves. Thus, considering the advantages of the 3D-printing and the constant improvement in the technologies for cartilage repair using novel bioinks, 3D bioprinting is likely to become a promising therapy for clinical use soon, and can leverage the market's growth.
By End User, Knee Cartilage Repair Service Market -Based Insights
Based on end user, the knee cartilage repair service market is divided into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and orthopedic clinics. The hospitals segment held the largest share of the market in 2022. The same segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during 2022-2030. The hospitals segment is the largest end user segment in the knee cartilage repair service market. The segment's growth is attributed to the increased number of procedures for knee injuries and other orthopedic treatments. Hospitals provide treatment with specialized nursing staff and medical equipment.
