Bone Void Fillers Market Trends
The increasing incidence of bone disorders and injuries is a significant driver for the market. Bone disorders and injuries, such as fractures, osteoporosis, degenerative bone diseases, and bone tumors, create substantial demand for these fillers to aid in bone healing and provide structural support.
- For instance, in 2023, according to the National Institutes of Health, osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds.
- Further, according to the report of the National Council of Aging, 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over the age of 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime.
- Bone void fillers are essential for filling voids and defects caused by traumatic injuries, providing a scaffold for new bone formation and aiding in the healing process. Fracture repair surgeries often require these fillers to stabilize and support the bone during the healing process.
- Both primary bone tumors (originating in the bone) and metastatic tumors (spreading to the bone from other sites) creates voids in the bone. Surgical resection of bone tumors requires the use of bone void fillers to fill the defect and stabilize the bone after tumor removal in conjunction with bone growth stimulators.
- Thus, as the population ages and the prevalence of chronic conditions rises, the need for effective bone void fillers is expected to continue growing, creating opportunities for innovation and expansion in the market.
