Bone Glue Market, by Product Type (Synthetic Bone Glue and Natural Bone Glue), by Therapeutic Application (Osteoporosis, Sports Injuries, Spinal Injuries, Traumatic Bone Fracture, and Bone Tumor), by End User (Hospitals, Clinics, Specialized Orthopedic Clinics, and Ambulatory Surgical Centers), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Bone glues are a collagen obtained from an animal base that mainly includes skin and bones. Bone glues are derivative of fish’s dehydrated bladder and dense bone. The production process of bone glue is complicated, which involves obtaining animal bones from various abattoirs, meat packaging companies, and tanneries. The bones are cleaned, washed and are set under pressure to boil to demineralize it and then collagen is extracted and dried. The most used commercial area apart from healthcare industry is in manuscript publishing, carpentry, and gun powder production applications. The bone glue market is expected to gain steady traction in the near future, as it finds application in various industries.
Market Dynamics
Increasing number of osteoporosis procedures is expected to drive the bone glue market growth during the forecast period. For instance, on January 12, 2022, according to the report published in Arthroplasty Today, an official journal of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, published an annual report which reported 2,244,587 primary revision hip and knee arthroplasties between 2012 and 2020 in US. Female patients represented 58.5% of all procedures while male patients represented 38.6% of cases. THA (Total hip arthroplasty) patients were on average 66.1 years old, whereas TKA (Total Knee Arthroplasty) patients were on average 67 years old.
Bone density decreases with age, often leading to bone disorders among people over 60 years of age. According to the WHO, bones become especially fragile in elderly women. Approximately 1 in 4 women i.e. around 24% of women aged 50 or older suffer from falls and accidents each year globally. In many instances, most of the falls lead to fracture, out of which 35-40% of bone fractures are healed or joined with the use of bone glue globally.
