An implant is a medical device, manufactured to support or replace any damaged organs in the body, treat imperfections in normal body functions, or enhance the functioning of body organs. These can be implanted by surgery either temporarily or permanently in the body, and can be removed after its use. These devices comprise bones, skin, tissues, ceramics, plastics, metals, and other natural materials. Some of the implantable medical devices examples include implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac pacemakers, intraocular lenses, hip implants, implantable insulin pumps, and coronary stents.    

Market Dynamics

Demand for implantable medical devices is rising continuously during the forecast period due to increased safety owing to technological advancement and growing awareness about the same. Furthermore, a lack of alternative treatment for chronic diseases is anticipated to boost the implantable medical devices market in the coming years.

Investment by market players for the development, commercialization, and in emerging regions such as the Asia Pacific and Latin America are likely to propel the market growth. For instance, in February 2017, Dentsply Sirona opened a new production facility in Tokyo, Japan. The facility manufactured a complete company’s implant digital solutions portfolio at one and the same site to provide faster and better service to customers. The inaugural of the new facility strengthens the Simplant and Atlantis presence in the Asia market. Rise in the geriatric population across the world responsible for the increasing number of bone and joint disorders that demand implantable medical devices. For instance, according to the data published by the OECD, the number of knee and hip replacements has increased speedily since 2000 in most OECD countries. On average, the rate of hip replacement increased by 30% between 2000 and 2015 and the rate of knee replacement nearly doubled.

Product Stance

Based on the product, the market has been segmented into dental implants, breast implants, orthopedic implants, cardiovascular implants, intraocular lenses, and other implants. In 2018, the orthopedic devices segment accounted for the largest share of the market and is expected to maintain its share during the forecast period. This can be attributed to safety enhancements due to technological advancement in the field. Furthermore, lifestyle changes responsible for the growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, increasing sports and accidental injuries, and the development of minimally invasive surgeries. The cardiovascular implantable devices segment is anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high focus of market players for developing new generation pacing devices that significantly improve the patient’s quality of life and reduce mortality in greater pricing flexibility. Others segment include neurostimulator, orthobiologics, facial implants, and trauma & craniomaxillofacial implants.

Regional Stance

North America accounted for the largest share of the implantable medical devices market in 2018. This can be attributed to the local presence of major market players, technological advancement and development of next generation implantable devices that increase the provider as well as the patient’s confidence in products. The demand of implants is expected to increase continuously during the forecast period due to an increase in chronic condition patient’s population including chronic heart failure and osteoarthritis. However, the insurance provider’s tight control over implantation costs is anticipated to limit the growth of the market in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to propel the market growth at the fastest rate over the forecast period due to investment by market players, a large number of the targeted patient population, and increasing disposable income. Medical centers and hospitals along with research institutes collaborated with implantable devices companies around the world.
