Increasing recommendations by government bodies against the use of PRP is expected to hinder the market growth. For instance, in January 2020, the American College of Rheumatology, in partnership with the Arthritis Foundation, released the 2019 ACR/AF Guideline for the Management of Osteoarthritis of the Hand, Hip and Knee, which did not recommend the use of PRP injections for treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis. Lack of standardization in the preparation and dosage of autologous blood concentrate and platelet-separation techniques is a major factor hindering the market growth. Lack of standardization has led to the lack of strong evidence to support the increasing clinical use of platelet-rich plasma therapy as a treatment modality for musculoskeletal injuries, including orthopedic bone and soft-tissue injuries.

Market Opportunities – Increasing Research and Development Activities by Key Market Players

Increasing research and development activities for PRP by key market players, in order to expand their product portfolio is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2022, a research article published in the Journal of Skin and Steam Cells, where researchers found that under sterile conditions, platelet rich plasma preparation and administration protocol reduced the prevalence of further contamination and complications associated with it. The occurrence of infection after injection was zero, even in patients with hemophilia. When carried out under controlled circumstances, platelet rich plasma therapy is effective for treating a wide range of etiologies and involves both intra-articular and soft tissue operations with no danger of infection.

The type segment includes Pure PRP, Leukocyte rich PRP, Pure PRF, and Leukocyte rich PRF. The Pure PRP sub-segment is estimated to hold 46.9% of the market share in 2024 owing to its purity and proven effectiveness. Pure PRP isolates only the platelet fraction to obtain a highly concentrated preparation without any additional blood components. This purity allows Pure PRP treatments to specifically and precisely target injured or degenerative tissues by delivering an optimal dose of growth factors locally. Numerous clinical studies have validated the superior healing outcomes of Pure PRP across various therapeutic areas such as orthopedic injuries, dental/oral procedures, and dermal rejuvenation due to its well-defined composition. In comparison, other types involving additional blood components cannot replicate the focused regenerative actions of growth factors from Pure PRP. Additionally, being devoid of leukocytes, Pure PRP minimizes any inflammatory reactions at the treatment site. Its simplicity of preparation and administration have also fueled Pure PRP's widespread adoption among healthcare practitioners.

Insights, By Origin: Autologous Origin Fosters Safety and Customized Efficacy

The origin segment includes autologous, allogenic, and homologues. The autologous sub-segment is estimated to hold 37.4% of the market share in 2024 owing to its safety and ability to tailor treatment outcomes. With Autologous PRP, a patient's own blood is used to prepare the platelet concentrate, eliminating any risks of disease transmission or immunological rejection. This autologous nature confers a superior safety profile valuable for treating various medical conditions. Furthermore, using a patient's own blood takes into account their individual biological characteristics as well as the specific requirements of the condition being addressed. Customizing PRP compositions precisely to each patient enables optimizing the therapeutic effects and clinical outcomes. Such personalized care has set the benchmark for regenerative therapies with platelet rich plasma. In contrast, allogeneic and homologous preparations face challenges in replicating these advantages due to inter-individual variability in therapeutic responses.

Insights, Application: High Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Sports Injuries

The application segment includes neurosurgery, cosmetic surgery, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and others. The orthopedic surgery sub-segment is estimated to hold 44.7% of the market share in 2024 due to the high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and sports injuries. Common orthopedic issues such as tendinopathies, ligament/muscle tears, arthritis, and bone defects are increasingly addressed with PRP therapy. These pathologies afflict people of all ages but have particular relevance among physically active populations and older demographics prone to degeneration. Additionally, the prominence and growth of contact/extreme sports have resulted in a surge in orthopedic trauma cases treatable with PRP's regenerative properties. Rising healthcare expenditures on joint replacements and reconstructive surgeries have also promoted interest in PRP as a lower-cost alternative or adjuvant. Successful outcomes from case studies and clinical evidence continue to support widespread orthopedic applications of platelet rich plasma.
