Bone Graft Substitutes MarketSize and Trends

Bone grafting is a surgical procedures which includes replacement of missing bone. Different types of bone grafts such as autologous bone graft, allograft, and synthetic bone graft are used in bone grafting procedures. Increasing adoption of bone graft substitutes such as ceramics, polymers, bioactive glass, and others are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Technological advancements in implementation of human growth factors into bone grafts that has osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties such as demineralized bone matrix, bone morphogenetic proteins, and platelet rich plasma (PRP), are expected to offer growth opportunities for market players to establish a strong position in the global bone graft and substitutes market over the forecast period.

Researchers are focused on developing innovative bone grafts for treating bone related disorders. For instance, in 2015, scientists at the Texas A&M University, developed a new synthetic material- a biodegradable scaffold to fill the gaps for new bone growth to advance grafting treatments required by the people for treating bone defects and bone cancers.

Increasing prevalence of bone cancer is expected to drive global bone graft and substitutes market growth

Rising prevalence of bone cancer is expected to fuel demand for bone grafts and substitutes thereby supporting the global bone graft and substitutes market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) estimates, around 3,450 people of all ages in the U.S. were diagnosed with primary bone cancer. Thus, new cases of bone cancer are expected to propel growth of the bone cancer treatment market in the U.S.
