Medical implants are artificial devices that are used to replace damaged or missing biological parts. Implants help deliver medication, monitor body functions, and provide support to organs and tissues in different applications (such as dental, orthopedic, and cardiovascular).
The medical implants market is driven by the growing healthcare needs of the senior population, advancements in medical technologies, and the rising incidence of chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, neuropathic diseases, and congenital disorders, among others.
In 2015, there were 901 million elderly individuals (aged 60 years and above) globally, and this figure is projected to grow by 56% to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 (Source: United Nations). Moreover, in the US, the population of individuals aged over 65 years is expected to double between 2005 and 2030 (Source: National Institute on Aging). Also, in Japan, 40% of the population is expected to be over 65 years by 2060 (WHO).
