Biomaterials Global Market Report 2026

The biomaterials refer to manmade substances that can be utilized to support tissues or structures in the body. These are natural or synthetic materials that are used in medical applications to support, enhance, or replace damaged tissue or a biological function.

The main types of biomaterials are metallic biomaterial, polymeric biomaterials, natural biomaterials and ceramics. The metallic biomaterials are stainless steels, titanium alloys, and cobalt alloys used to provide internal support to biological tissues. The metallic biomaterials are manmade systems that are utilized in joint replacements, dental implants, orthopedic fixations, and stents to offer internal support to biological tissues. Biomaterials have a wide application in cardiovascular, orthopedic, ophthalmology, dental, plastic surgery, wound healing, tissue engineering and neurological/central nervous system and are used in hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgical centers and other end users.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on specialty metals, polymers, and ceramic materials have impacted the biomaterials market by increasing raw material and manufacturing costs, particularly for metallic and polymeric biomaterials used in implants and medical devices. Regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are most affected due to their dependence on global supply chains for titanium alloys, polymers, and bioceramics. While tariffs have created cost pressures and pricing challenges, they have also encouraged local manufacturing, material innovation, and supply chain diversification, supporting long-term resilience in the biomaterials industry.

Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for biocompatible and bioactive materials, growing adoption of biodegradable biomaterials, increasing use of biomaterials in tissue engineering, expansion of advanced implantable medical devices, rising focus on customized and patient-specific biomaterials.

The rising healthcare spending is expected to drive the growth of the biomaterials market. Healthcare spending refers to the total financial resources allocated for medical services, treatments, and healthcare infrastructure over a specific period, typically at a national or institutional level. A portion of this spending is directed toward the research, development, procurement, adoption, and regulatory compliance of biomaterials. For example, in 2025, according to the American Medical Association (AMA), a U.S.-based professional association, the United States spent a total of $4,866.5 billion, or $14,570 per capita, on healthcare in 2023. This represents a 7.5% increase from the previous year, reflecting a significant rise compared to the 4.6% growth seen in 2022. As healthcare spending increases, it will contribute to the growth of the biomaterials market.

Major companies operating in the biomaterials market focus on technological advancements, such as the designed enzymatic biomaterials (DEB) technology platform, to deliver sustainable biopolymers and gain a competitive advantage. The enzymatic biomaterials (DEB) technology platform involves the use of enzymes to design and modify materials for various applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. For instance, in June 2023, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a US-based producer of flavors, fragrances, and cosmetic actives, launched the enzymatic biomaterials technology platform for the development of biobased materials at scale. Designed to deliver meaningful sustainability benefits with performance comparable to or superior to fossil-based materials, DEB technology helps to address growing preferences for environmentally friendly, high-performance biopolymers. The technology platform allows producers to fulfill regulatory changes and increasing consumer demand by replacing traditional fossil-based synthetic polymers.

In October 2024, RTI Surgical (RTI), a US-based medical equipment manufacturing company, acquired Collagen Solutions plc for an undisclosed amount. The objective of RTI Surgical's acquisition of Collagen Solutions is to broaden its soft tissue portfolio and improve its capabilities in the regenerative medicine sector. Collagen Solutions plc is a US-based supplier, developer, and manufacturer of medical-grade collagen, tissues, and other biomaterials for use in regenerative medicine, medical devices, and research.
