Bone cement supports artificial joints of shoulder, knee, and elbow for more than half century. Bone cement plugs the gap between bone and prosthesis. Orthopedic casting material is made up of plastic, its a shell that encloses limb to stabilize broken bones. The need of the bone cement and cast is due to the requirement of materials that effectively absorb body forces acting on the human hips. Bone casting is helpful in various orthopedic applications, which include hip replacement, wrist joint replacement, and others, for instance, calcium phosphate-based materials are widely used at present. Moreover, bone cements provide stability to the bone during internal fixation surgery. Growing ageing population fuels the growth of the market.
Factors that drive the market are ageing population, rise in joints problems, increase in population suffering from obesity, advancement in healthcare sector, attraction of people towards junk foods, and high number of accidents. Moreover, benefits offered by healthcare sector such as higher X-ray visibility, better fatigue also stimulate the market growth. However, stringent regulatory policies of government restrain the growth.
The report segments the market by raw materials used and geography. On the basis of material used, the bone cements market is segmented into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), acrylate based plastics, ceramics, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate and coralline hydroxyapatite cements. In terms of material used for cast, the market is divided into synthetic materials such as, plaster, or fiberglass with cotton or polyurethane based bandages. Geographically, the market is analyzed for North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
