Biomaterials Market Driver

Expanding Need for Biomaterials in Plastic Surgery and Wound Healing: 

• Wound healing and plastic surgery are two common applications for biomaterial-based products. Biomaterials are frequently used in plastic surgery to implant, reconstruct, heal, and conceal burns, holes in the body, or soft tissue injuries in a natural and safe manner. One major factor driving the medical industry is the increase in demand for biomaterials in plastic surgery and wound healing. 

Rising Number of Musculoskeletal Diseases: 

• The number of musculoskeletal and chronic skeletal medical disorders is rising, which is driving up demand for implants made of biomaterials and expanding the market. The ageing population and increased risk of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders are driving up demand for orthopaedic implants. 

Restraints 

Concerns with Biocompatibility: 

• Large amounts of impairment and suffering are caused by orthopedic injuries and related disorders, which pose a serious threat to worldwide public health. Surgical procedures requiring the use of long-term, short-term, or biodegradable medical devices are frequently required for certain orthopedic disorders. These devices merge numerous natural or synthetic biomaterials to replace or repair many tissues including ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bone. 

Issues with Durability and Long-Term Performance: 

• Although long-term performance and durability are important factors, the biomaterials business is growing quickly. Patients' outcomes and commercial potential are impacted when functioning and efficacy are maintained over time. Once their intended uses are fulfilled, these biomaterials are either replaced or eliminated.
