Cartilage Repair Market Overview:
The Global Cartilage Repair Market was valued at $713 million in 2017, and is estimated to reach at $2,195 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 15.0% from 2018 to 2025. The articular cartilage is a nonvascular connective tissue, which covers the ends of bones where they conjoin to form joints. The major function associated with cartilage includes provision of a lubricated and smooth surface for bone movement. Cartilage can be damaged due to injuries, timely wear & tear, and diseases such as osteoarthritis. The procedure undertaken to repair this damage is known as cartilage repair.
The global cartilage repair market is segmented based on modality, type, application, end user, and region. By modality, the market is divided into chondroplasty & microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, osteochondral allograft, and juvenile allograft fragments. On the basis of type, it is bifurcated into hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. The applications covered in the study include knee, shoulder, and others. Depending on end user, the market is categorized into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Osteochondral allograft dominated the cartilage repair market in 2017, owing to its versatility to treat large defects of the subchondral bone and generally successful outcomes associated with this modality.
Rise in focus of vendors on the emerging markets, such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, is expected to boost the market growth.
