This market research study identifies Carborundum Universal, CeramTec, Royal DSM, and Sagemax Bioceramics as the leading players in the global bioceramics market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by application (orthopedics, dental, and others), by material type (zirconia, alumina, and others), and by geography (APAC, Europe, North America, and ROW).

Overview of the global bioceramics market

Research analysis on the global bioceramics market identifies that the rising prevalence of cardiovascular, dental, and orthopedic disorders will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Cardiovascular disorders cause about 80% of the deaths that occur among low and middle-income earners in Sub-Saharan Africa. Similarly, in Uganda, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is high among both urban and rural population. The cases of orthopedic issues such as musculoskeletal oncology, pediatric deformity, spinal deformity, degenerative conditions, trauma, injury from road traffic crashes are high in developing countries. Tt has been observed that nearly 100% of adults and 60%-90% of school children have dental cavities. This will also drive the demand for ceramic biomaterials. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 6% by 2021.

The increasing demand for healthcare facilities will boost the demand for bioceramics in Europe. The market will continue to grow in the region during the forecast period due to the increasing research and developmental activities and the growing consumer demand for bioceramics. Germany is witnessing demand for ceramic-based restorations for dental applications. Additionally, the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis among the growing geriatric population will further drive the demand for bioceramics.

• Royal DSM
• Sagemax Bioceramics

Other prominent vendors in the market include Cambioceramics, Doceram Medical, Institut Straumann,  JYOTI CERAMIC, and Morgan Advanced Materials.

Segmentation by application and analysis of the bioceramics market

• Orthopedics
• Dental

Bioceramics are extensively used in the dental sector due to the increasing demand for ceramic-based crowns and bridges in most dental applications. A large number of customers choose these materials for dental ceramic implants because they resemble the original teeth crown. This is driving the demand for dental crowns, bridges, and bristles, which in turn, will boost the adoption of bioceramics for the next four years. Furthermore, the rising disposable income, growing incidences of dental caries, and the increasing popularity of cosmetic dentistry, also drive the market segment's growth.

Segmentation by material type and analysis of the bioceramics market

• Zirconia
• Alumina

Alumina-type bioceramics are increasingly preferred in dental and joint applications due to their characteristics such as hardness and high abrasion resistance. Alumina bioceramics are ideal for bone and dental implants due to its properties such as bio-inertness, strength, and chemical inertness. The market will continue to grow in this segment till 2021 since this material exhibits better wear resistance and is one of the cheapest bioceramics.
