Medical Implants Market Trend Analysis:

3D Printing and Customization Revolutionize the Medical Implants Industry

• The application of 3D printing technology in medical implants has revolutionized a number of ways in which implants are designed, produced and customized to meet specific requirements of the user. Conventional manufacturing techniques used in the production of implants does not fit the patient’s anatomy in this way as 3D printing allows the creation of implants that suits the specific patient in detail. This capability is very notable in surgeries like joint replacements, spine fixations, and cranial and facial restorations which require a nearly flawless fit of the implant for the likely success of the operation as well as future outcomes. By directly 3D printing such implants, there not only is better fit and comfort due to manufacture in a custom size, shape, and for functional load, but the risk of weak implants or failure, or having to revise the implants, is decreased. It is a general advantage because such customization maximizes the patient/implant compatibility as well as addresses individual medical conditions to make procedures work better and even reduce recovery time.

• Thus, beside increasing customizational capabilities, 3D printing helps create solutions which would be rather challenging to manufacture utilizing regular approaches. For instance, implants with open porous structures that help them bond closely with the adjoining bone can now be made with greater ease in terms of manufacturing, thereby resulting in faster healing and implant stability. Additionally, the technology of 3D printing helps increase the speed of producing both – the required medical implants and prototypes of new products altogether. Such an advancement is shaping the development of bio-printing and bio-compitable materials that can pave way for more advanced implant technologies especially in orthopedic, dental, and vascular specialties in the market. With the advancement in technology and material science it can be confidently stated that role of 3D printing in manufacturing cheap and customized medical implants for patients all over the world will keep on increasing.

Aging Population Creates Lucrative Market for Joint and Spinal  Implants

• The increase in average life span across the global populace offers the opportunity for growth within the medical implants sphere especially with regards to joint and spinal implants. With an increase in age, musculoskeletal disorders embrace osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylosis are more common. These conditions most times call for surgery hence increased demand of joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder) and spinal implants (interbody cages, spinal rods, fusions devices). Arthritis and the increasing frequency of falls and consequent fractures in geriatrics patients are demanding a healthy application of implants to rehabilitate people for painless and productive lives. Also, disorders such as osteoporosis which make bones brittle and cause high incidences of fractures are raising the demand for orthopedic and spinal implants with greater stability and longevity.

• As the global population of the group of people with 65 years and older continues to grow, especially in North America, Europe and some parts of Asia-Pacific, there is anticipated rise in the uptake of age related treatments. The older persons are more inclined to receive surgical operations for such ailments as hip replacements, knee replacements as well as spinal fusion making the market for such implant more profitable for the manufacturers. However, benefits attained with improved implant materials and surgical procedures, including laparoscopic surgeries, and biocompatibility are enhancing patient results, decreasing patience’s healing period and expanding surgeries access. Currently, most healthcare organisations orient on better management of chronic diseases and cost reduction of long term care, which also means the focus on enhancing the quality of joints and spinal implants, it remains the main area where the medical implant market can develop qualitatively and expand further.

Medical Implants Market Segment Analysis:

Medical Implants Market is Segmented on the basis of type, Biomaterial, and Region

By Type, Orthopedic implants segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

• The orthopaedic implants segment is expected to experience high growth in the medical implants market throughout the forecast period due to many factors the worldwide increase in the geriatric population, rising incidences of chronic musculoskeletal diseases, and the increasing number of joint replacement & spinal surgeries across the world. Osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, and fracture are common in the elderly; these diseases are directly related to the aging process; thus as age increases the prevalence of the diseases also rises. Arthroplasties that are knee and hip replacements, spinal fusions, and shoulder replacements are on the rise as options for these diseases. These implants enhance mobility and relieve pain, and should remain fundamental to health management delivery for elderly persons within healthcare system plans. In addition, sustainability of delicate surgeries by employing minimally invasive techniques among others are also contributing to the growth of the orthopedic implant market: these innovations have enhanced implant designs and materials to produce better patient outcomes that are also faster recovery times.

• However, it is worth noting that apart from aging the trauma biology, sports injuries and spinal problems significantly fuel the demand for orthopedic implants. Other applications include spinal implants; interbody fusion devices, rods, and screws are expected to record higher growth because most people are complaining of back aches attributable to aging, lifestyle, and work-related stress. The ongoing trend to make procedures more delicate since it enables specific operations with a shorter post-surgery recover increases the need for orthopedic implants. Additionally, the progress in individualized implants design – patient-specific implant based on 3D printing – and application of sophisticated materials, namely, titanium alloys, polyethylene and bioactive ceramics widen the possibilities and outcomes of orthopedic implantations. Combined, these aspects make the orthopedic implants segment to be the key driver of the market; growth is expected as healthcare systems enhance, surgery enhancement and emerging necessity of orthopedic solutions.

By Biomateria, Metallic material segment expected to held the largest share

• Metallic materials are expected to dominate the Medical Implants market in the forecast period as it is known for mechanical properties, high strength and good biocompatibility. Titanium, stainless steel and cobal-chromium alloys are common materials used in numerous medical implants including joint replacements and spinal implants, stents and even heart valves and dental implants. These materials can be easily selected because of their high strength to weight ratio, fatigue endurance and capability of handling high mechanical loads which implants experience in the body. Out of all the materials, titanium has been most recommended for use in joint replacement operations because it is resistant to corrosion, lightweight and easily forms an integrate structure with bone tissue. These characteristic therefore facilitates the prospects of metallic implants rendering them resistant to breakdown making them dominant in the market.

• Besides their advantages in structure, metallic implants are preferred for their simple process of fabrication as well as the precise manufacturing, which can be useful in spinal and cardiovascular operations. It is only possible with metal alloys to fine-tune properties enabling the device to be then used for implantation, to be strong and elastic, and to not provoke adverse effects from the body. The increasing need for less invasive surgeries, and new methods of robot-assisted surgeries also serves as a boost in the utilization of metallic materials because of their fine structure suitable when used in such operations. In addition, growing advances in bioactive metallic materials, which stimulate bone growth in the region of the implant, and decrease chances of rejection, are broadening metal uses to include areas such as bone grafting as well as dental implantation. Due to their generality, stability, and performance history, metallic biomaterials will continue to predominate the market and be the first choice for a majority of the total medical implants as surgical procedures and implant structures enhance.
