Bone Cement

Orthopedic implants such as hip and knee implants are usually accompanied by bone cement. Bone cement cements the gap between the prosthesis and the joint in orthopedic procedures. These cement are in use since the 1960s for the stronger fixation of implants using Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as the main material. The bone cement serves an additional purpose (majorly in Hip and Knee Joints) of reducing discomfort and in weight–bearing – particularly in the hip joint to absorb the stress which occurs between the different joints. There are numerous bone cement products in India like Palacos, Simplex, Subiton, etc available at equivalent prices. Orthopedic implant manufacturers choose to provide the bone cement by buying them from major brands, usually, ones like Palacos, Simplex, and Subiton, while some leave the decision to the distributors or dealers. In India, distributors usually provide bone cement along with orthopedic implants to hospitals.

Booming Market

According to the Market Analysis, The global bone Cement market has been growing at a rigorous rate. In 2017, the global bone cement market grew to 927.3 million USD. This number is expediting and forecasted to grow at 5.4% between 2018-2025. This is 5.4% is the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). So what constitutes this growth?

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disease when the body makes little bone or losing an excessive amount of bone. In the end, the bone breaks to slight mechanical pressure. Osteoporosis directly means porous bone. Observed under a scope, strong bone looks like a honeycomb. If osteoporosis happens, the gaps and areas in the honeycomb are extremely large than in good bone. Osteoporotic bones lose density or volume and hold unusual tissue structures. While bones become less dense, they undermine and remain more inclined to break. This is a growing concern among individuals, causing fractures. On average, 8.9 million fractures occur worldwide due to osteoporosis. The osteoporotic population is found to be prominent even in young individuals. 15-30 % male and 30 – 45 % female are at the risk of developing osteoporosis disease during their lifetime according to a survey conducted. It is one of the main reasons for the growth of the market.

R&D Methods

Bone cement has been in use for decades. It is applied using different techniques in arthroplasty and vertebroplasty moreover the composition of it has been the same and homogenous across all manufacturer’s products. However, factors like porosity, radiopaque, sterilization, biocompatibility need to be fine-tuned and researched more to increase the bone cement performance. This need for superior research shifts focuses towards this market.

Product type Dominance

PMMA cement leads the global bone cement market. In 2017, it held 47.1 % of the market share globally. Subiton, Palacos, Simplex are a few of the popular bone cement made up of PMMA. This PMMA cement is expected to dominate the market by 2025.

Application Vertical

Arthroplasty, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty are the common surgical areas of application. Arthroplasty holds the largest market share and is expected to contribute to global growth due to an increase in hip and knee procedures.

End-User Type

Hospitals, surgical centers are the end-users of the bone cement. This segment is expected to grow 5.1% by 2025. This information could be crucial for dealers and distributors.
