by Hydroxyapatite is a key component of dental filling materials and bone grafts as its composition closely resembles that of natural bone. It has excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties making it an ideal grafting material for bone defects. It is widely used in orthopedic and dental applications such as bone graft substitutes and bone void fillers for spinal fusions,maxillofacial reconstruction and joint reconstruction surgeries. It enhances new bone formation and acts as a scaffold for bone regeneration. The availability of synthetic hydroxyapatite has further increased its use as a dental biomaterial and bone graft substitute over other alternatives.
The global Hydroxyapatite Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2761.23 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
nano-hydroxyapatite is gaining traction in orthopedic and dental applications. Nano-hydroxyapatite has a nanometer-sized structure that closely mimics the mineral component of human bone. It has superior biocompatibility and osteoconductivity compared to conventional micron-sized hydroxyapatite. Nano-hydroxyapatite bone grafts demonstrate better new bone formation, increased vascularization and bone ingrowth. Leading players are focusing on developing nano-structured calcium phosphate materials and composites for advanced bone regeneration therapy and dental fillings, which is expected to drive the hydroxyapatite market growth over the forecast period.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: High capital investment requirements for manufacturing plants and R&D facilities pose a barrier for new players.
