Bioactive Materials Market Will Have an Impressive Growth of CAGR of 13.42% Until 2020, Says Technavio


According to the latest market study released by Technavio, the global bioactive materials market is expected to reach USD 2.14 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of more than 13%.

This research report titled 'Global Bioactive Materials Market 2016-2020' provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. The report also presents the vendor landscape and corresponding detailed analysis of the top five vendors operating in the market considering 2015 as the base year.

The global bioactive materials market is expected to see steady growth throughout the forecast period, driven predominantly by the medical sector. The medical industry is strengthening the bioactive materials market due to increased demand from organ failure and replacement procedures, orthodontics, and several other coating applications, with special emphasis on the aging population. The support from the scientific community on research carried out in the field of oncology is another prominent driver for the market.

Technavio's chemicals and materials analysts categorize the global bioactive materials market into three major segments by type:

  • Bioactive glass, glass-ceramics, and ceramics
  • Bioactive composites
  • Bioactive coatings

Global bioactive glass, glass-ceramics, and ceramics market

The brittle nature of bioactive glass, in combination with a biocompatible polymer matrix, makes it ideal for use in orthodontic and medical applications. This composition mimics all the mechanical properties of the human bone. When the matrix is changed to a biocomposite, the elasticity and tensility change drastically. Bioactive glass, glass-ceramics, and ceramics are principally composed of silicon dioxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide. Their combination with polymeric bio-substitutes enables them to be used in a wide range of biomedical and healthcare applications.



According to Ajay Adikhari, a lead bio-chemicals and bio-materials analyst from Technavio, "Advancements in the field of tissue engineering and endodontics offer significant potential for the growth of the market over the next five years. During 2015-2016, the global bioactive glass, glass-ceramics, and ceramics market registered a growth rate of 13.47%."

Global bioactive composites market


Biocomposites are known to have better tensile and elastic properties than bioactive ceramics and glasses. This facilitates their use in resin matrices for dental applications mimicking the chemical and physical properties of natural teeth. Bioactive composites are mostly used in the field of endodontics and for the production of scaffolds. Scaffolds are broadly classified as biotoxic, bioinert, bioresorbable, biodegradable, and bioactive. Out of these, bioactive scaffolds are used primarily as composites for scaffold applications.

While metallic or ceramic materials that are used in implants have the desired mechanical properties, they also have several disadvantages, such as higher risk of surgical complications, immunological rejection, and infection. To overcome these drawbacks, bioactive materials are being widely considered as substitutes. The primary materials used in bioactive composites are carbon, carbon wire, and carbon fiber.

Global bioactive coatings market

Hydroxyapatite has been used as a coating material in most dental and orthopedic applications. It provides a combination of its own adhesive biological properties with the mechanical properties of metallic implants, thus augmenting bond strength. Bioactive coating possesses improve biomechanical properties in comparison with bioactive ceramics. The load bearing limitations of bioactive ceramics and biocomposites are overcome by bioactive coatings.

"Bioactive coating materials, in combination with therapeutic agents, immobilizers, and adhesion proteins, have significant potential for use in the manufacture of implants. Bioactive coatings are also corrosion-resistant when coupled with a high-calcium matrix, thus, increasing the longevity of bioimplants," adds Ajay.

The top vendors highlighted by Technavio's research analysts in this report are:

  • DePuy Synthes
  • Kyocera (News - Alert)
  • Medtronic
  • Stryker
