Medical Ceramics Market size was valued at USD 2,589.76 Million in 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 6.51% from 2024 to 2032.
Medical ceramics are a class of biocompatible materials specifically designed and engineered for use in various medical applications. It is anticipated that the market will expand widely due to the rise in surgical techniques for orthopaedic and dental implants. The prevalence of orthopaedic and dental conditions is rising along with the ageing population, which is driving up demand for long-lasting and biocompatible implants. For instance, With 266,540 surgical procedures, Germany was the leader in 2021. France, the UK, and Italy were next. Medical ceramics play a vital role in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dentistry, tissue engineering, and implantable medical devices, offering clinicians and patients reliable and durable solutions for a wide range of medical needs.
Medical Ceramics Market- Market Dynamics
Increasing surgeries for orthopedic and dental implants
As the global population ages, there's a higher prevalence of orthopedic issues such as osteoarthritis and dental problems including tooth loss. This leads to an increased demand for implants to restore function and improve quality of life. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that among combined lesions, meniscal injuries accounted for 34.7% of ACL injuries, MCL injuries for 6.2%, PCL injuries for 2.4%, and chondral injuries for 3.7%. In June 2022, The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed that CeramTec's novel ceramic total knee replacement device and proposed indication for use meet the criteria of a Breakthrough Device. In response to the changing needs of patients and healthcare providers, this change has aided in the creation of contemporary medical devices, implants, and prostheses. As a result, the use of medical ceramics increases, driving expansion in the world market.
