Metal implants are the biomaterials that are used to place inside or on the surface of the body. These are basically made up of stainless steel, Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) alloys, Titanium (Ti), and Ti alloys are widely used in orthopedic implants. The properties associated with these implants which make them an excellent choice for total joint replacement include high fracture toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, high strength, and biocompatibility. The metal implants are either permanent or can be removed when they have no more use. For instance, hip and stent implants are placed permanently, whereas, chemotherapy ports or screws which are used to repair broken bones can be removed after the task completion. Moreover, the risks associated with these implants include infection or implant failure during or after the placement or removal.

Market Dynamics

The rising geriatric and obese populations globally along with the increasing number of road accidents & trauma cases are primarily driving the market growth. The increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures across the globe coupled with the development of minimally invasive devices is supporting the market value. The growing prevalence of degenerative joint diseases is further accelerating the demand in the market. Moreover, the growing number of hospitals and surgical centers in emerging economies is likely to create potential opportunities over the forecast period from 2019 to 2026.

On the other hand, the high cost of metal implants and the lack of skilled surgeons are expected to hamper the growth during the forecast timeframe.

Titanium segment is projected to register major growth over the forecast period from 2019 to 2026

By type, Titanium (Ti) segment is accounted for the fastest growth over the forecast period due to its non-allergic, non-magnetic, and non-radio-opaque nature. The nature of the material makes it a preferable choice for bone implants without any additional coating. The titanium implants have various properties including greater strain-bearing capacity, high biocompatibility, rigidity, strength, and high corrosion resistance, which are supporting their growth in the market. 

Orthopedic implants segment projected to account maximum share throughout the forecast period from 2019 to 2029

Based on application, orthopedic implants segment is anticipated to register maximum growth over the forecast timeframe owing to the rising prevalence of orthopedic disorders across the globe. The wide scope of orthopedic implants encompasses joint reconstruction devices, spinal implants, and trauma fixation devices are contributing to the segment growth.
