AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE MARKET ANALYSIS

The global amniotic membrane market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.62 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Analysts’ Views on Global Amniotic Membrane Market:

The amniotic membrane (AM), or amnion, is a thin membrane on the inner side of the fetal placenta; it completely surrounds the embryo and delimits the amniotic cavity, which is filled with amniotic liquid. The rising number of patients with ophthalmology diseases, orthopedic diseases, and surgeries are expected to increase the probability of physicians preferring amniotic membranes for treatment. Thus, it offers the opportunity for various manufacturers to offer innovative amniotic membraine products that allow surgeons to perform such surgeries more efficiently.

Global Amniotic Membrane Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global amniotic membrane market over the forecast period. North America is estimated to hold 36%  of the market share in 2023. The global amniotic membrane market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, driven by increasing inorganic strategies by market players. For instance, on November 3, 2022, InfuSystem Holdings, Inc., a healthcare company that provides infusion pumps, and Sanara MedTech Inc., a medical technology company, announced the establishment of a partnership, SI Wound Care, LLC, focused on delivering a complete wound care solution targeted at improving patient outcomes and lowering the cost of care.

Global Amniotic Membrane Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others, faced problems with the transportation of things from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global amniotic membrane market, owing to widespread lockdowns, elective procedures being cancelled or postponed, and wound care treatments not being provided. In order to reserve or reallocate the limited capacities and resources (such as hospital beds and patient care specialists) towards COVID-19 patient care, elective procedures were being refused (cancelled or postponed). Additionally, many nations implemented curfews and lockdowns to stop the growth in COVID-19 instances. Patients were unable to visit clinics, hospitals, or OPDs as a result of these lockdowns. The expansion of the market for amniotic products is anticipated to be constrained by this temporary denial of non-emergent healthcare services. However, in the upcoming years, it is anticipated that demand for amniotic membrane products would increase.
