Biomaterials are natural or synthetic substances that interact with biological systems to treat or replace tissues, organs, or functions in the body. They play a significant role in drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering. These are derived from polymers or composites and are designed as per usage. Metallic biomaterials are used in orthopedic implants and dental applications owing to their durability. Polymer biomaterials are used in drug delivery systems. Ceramic biomaterials are used in bone grafts. 

There is an increase in the demand for biomaterials owing to a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases. This demand is also fueled by technological advancements in material science, nanotechnology, and 3D printing. For example, 3D printing is used to create bioresorbable stents and customized prosthetics. The biomaterials market is projected to experience growth owing to investments in research and development. In addition, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in biomaterial research helps design better performing materials with predictive modelling. This factor is also projected to boost the growth of the biomaterials market in the coming years. 

Developments 

The introduction of smart biomaterials in drug delivery systems and tissue regeneration is a notable development in the biomaterial market field. In addition, the usage of 3D printing and bioprinting technologies helps create patient-specific implants and prosthetics. For instance, 3D-printed bone scaffolds using calcium phosphate ceramics or biodegradable polymers are being developed to mimic the natural architecture of bone.
