Orthobiologics Market Dynamics:
The market for orthobiologics is expanding at a faster pace at present owing to the growing burden of the geriatric population who are more susceptible to developing bone degenerative disorders such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disorders, and others. According to the United Nations World Population Ageing 2019 highlights, approximately 703 million people were aged 65 years and above across the globe. Also, the report estimated the old age population to rise to 1.5 billion by the year 2050.
In addition, as per the World Health Organization 2021 statistics, globally, there were about 1 billion persons aged 60 years or over in the year 2020.
Furthermore, as per the data published by the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA), 2020, in the year 2019, about 242 million people worldwide suffer from symptomatic and activity limiting osteoarthritis (OA) which is one of the common types of arthritis. The data also mentioned that about 43% of people with OA are 65 or older and 88% of people with OA are 45 or older in 2019.
In addition, the recent approval and launch of various orthobiologic products are also anticipated to surge the market for orthobiologics. For instance, on February 28, 2019, Medtronic launched the Grafton(TM) Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) bone grafting product for spine and orthopedic procedures in Japan which was approved by Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in August 2018.
Hence, all the above-mentioned factors are expected to spike the global orthobiologics market during the forecasted period.
However, high costs associated with orthobiologics treatment and stringent regulatory approval processes are likely to impede the market for orthobiologics.
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market for orthobiologics witnessed slow growth. This is due to the delay in the number of elective procedures during the pandemic. Moreover, temporary shut down of clinics due to nationwide lockdown, disruption in supply because of logistical restrictions imposed at the time of COVID-19 wave, and hospitals shifting their focus towards COVID management also affected the orthobiologics demand. However, the launch of various vaccines and mass vaccination drives have resume normal operations further leading to the growth of the orthobiologics market during the post-pandemic.
Orthobiologics Market Segment Analysis:
Orthobiologics Market By Product Type (Viscosupplementation Products, Demineralized Bone Matrices, Bone Morphogenic Protein, Synthetic Bone Substitutes, Bone Grafts, Others), By Application (Osteoarthritis, Spinal Fusion, Reconstructive & Fracture Recovery, Soft-Tissue Injuries, Maxillofacial And Dental Applications), By End-User (Hospitals, Orthopaedic Clinics, And Others), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the orthobiologics product segment, the viscosupplementation products are projected to hold a significant market share in the forthcoming years. This is because of the high prevalence of osteoarthritis among the world’s population. According to the data published by the Osteoarthritis Foundation International (OAFI Foundation) in the year 2020, worldwide, an estimated 500 million people have osteoarthritis, hip and knee osteoarthritis being the most common. Extensive adoption of viscosupplementation products for their effectiveness in reducing pain, and fewer side effects while treating symptomatic knee osteoarthritis will contribute to the segmental growth of the orthobiologics market.
Moreover, the wide availability of viscosupplementation products including single, three, and five injections is also anticipated to boost the segmental growth.
Furthermore, approvals of various viscosupplementation devices in the market will also augment the market. For instance, in 2019, Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A. received Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory approval for TRILURON™, a single-use syringe, prefilled with sodium hyaluronate to provide relief to the pain associated with osteoarthritis for up to six months.
Also, rising manufacturers' initiatives to launch viscosupplementation products will surge the market. For instance, in May 2019, Lupin Limited and Aptissen S.A. entered into a definitive distribution agreement under which Aptissen has granted Lupin the exclusive rights to market, distribute, and sell the current Aptissen products in Canada which includes immediate rights to distribute Synolis VA for the treatment of Osteoarthritis.
Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to drive the segmental growth of the orthobiologics market during the forecasted period.
North America is expected to dominate the Overall Orthobiologics Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to hold a major share in the overall orthobiologics market during the forecasted period. This domination is owing to the rising incidents of traumatic injuries due to falls, accidents, and others in the region. Moreover, increasing geriatric and obese people in the region, growing incidences of spinal disorders, and rising physician and patient awareness about newly introduced orthobiologic treatment procedures and technologies will further bolster the market for orthobiologics in the region.
For instance, in the US, an overall 48.3 million people suffered from traumatic injuries out of which motor-vehicle incidents totaled 4.5 million in the year 2019 as per the National Safety Council 2021 report.
Additionally, as per the 2021 statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of obesity in the US was 42.4% in the year between 2017 and 2018.
According to research, it has been concluded that obese people have reduced bone density which increases the risk of fractures.
Moreover, the presence of key players such as Arthrex Inc., Stryker Corporation, Medtronic, among others, and their strategic business activities for the development of new orthobiologics for the treatment of various bone-associated disorders will propel the orthobiologics market in the region. For instance, on November 11, 2020, Stryker acquired Wright Medical Group N.V. a leading medical device company focused on extremities and biologics to enhance its market position.
Also, in June 2019, Bioventus entered into a development collaboration agreement with MTF Biologics to co-develop the next generation placental tissue product for the treatment of painful musculoskeletal conditions, with an initial focus on knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Further, the Asia-Pacific region has the future potential growth for the Global orthobiologics market. This is due to the rising geriatric population in the region. According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) 2021 statistics, across lower-middle and low-income Asia-Pacific countries, the share of the population aged 80 years and over is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050. The rising old age population is more susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, and others. Thus, the expanding aging population could contribute to the orthobiologics market growth in the region. Furthermore, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2020 report, from the years 2017 to 2018, one in eleven Australians have osteoarthritis making it approximately 2.2 million people in the nation. Thus, the rising prevalence of joint degeneration disorders will increase the demand for orthobiologics.
In addition, the presence of well-established market players such as Seikagaku Corporation, LG Chem., TERUMO BCT, INC., among others, the rising disposable income, improving healthcare facilities in the region are the factors expected to grow the market in the region.
