Bioprosthetics are medical devices engineered from biological tissues (usually animal-based, such as bovine or porcine) used to replace or repair damaged body parts, most notably in cardiovascular and orthopedic applications. Unlike synthetic implants, bioprosthetic materials offer superior biocompatibility, reduced risk of immune rejection, and natural functional integration.
With aging populations, rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, and increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, the global bioprosthetics market is witnessing strong growth and innovation.
Global Bioprosthetics market is expected to reach USD 12.12 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 10.54% from 2021 to 2028. Global Bioprosthetics market is witnessing a considerable growth owing to the rising number of cases of cardiovascular disorders.
2. Market Dynamics
