Research firm, Precedence Research, recently published a report on 3D printed medical implants<\/a>.\u00a0According to the report, 3D printed implants should generate more than 9 billion dollars in 2030<\/strong>\u00a0against 1.5 billion in 2020, an annual growth of 19%.\u00a0Faced with increasingly complex surgical operations, additive manufacturing could meet a real need for practitioners who want to practice and reduce the risk of associated errors.\u00a0The study reveals that the orthopedic market would be one of the main growth vectors:\u00a03D printed orthopedic devices<\/strong> alone would represent a growth of 25% between 2021 and 2025 or a revenue of 1.94 billion dollars.\u00a0In addition, the report highlights the importance <\/strong>of the\u00a03D printing\u00a0materials<\/strong> used, which have significantly contributed to this increase in turnover.<\/p>\n

The medical sector has been tested more than ever in recent times, the health crisis having revealed many weaknesses, especially in terms of the supply chain.\u00a03D technologies already had a key role to play and COVID-19 has only accelerated this trend.\u00a0It must be said that they allow the design of all kinds of tailor-made medical devices, anatomical models, surgical guides, etc.\u00a0Healthcare professionals are thus able to better prepare their operations, save time and reduce the risk of errors.\u00a0The patient can benefit from solutions entirely adapted to their morphology, in particular when it comes to an implant that the body must assimilate.<\/p>\n

The growth of 3D printed implants from 2017 to 2030<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 3D printed implant meets the needs of practitioners<\/h3>\n

The market for 3D printed implants is largely impacted by the number of transplants, grafts or even joint replacement.\u00a0These are heavy operations which require excellent preparation from the surgeons.\u00a0By using additive manufacturing, they can produce tailor-made implants to reduce the risk of infection, promote better osseointegration (for example by increasing use of titanium in 3D printing) and improve comfort in patients. The implants created are lighter, better follow the shape of bones, and are more durable.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The report specifies that one of the leading applications in the market concerns\u00a0orthopedics<\/strong>, in particular\u00a0the adoption of polymeric and metallic 3D printing in complex restructuring operations. These have significantly important repercussions for surgeries that affect the spine. Dental<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0cranial<\/strong>\u00a0implants\u00a0are also said to be two important applications, with many craniomaxillofacial operations.\u00a0On the value chain side, these are the materials that most impact the market’s growth with significant investments made in R&D. The study also focuses mainly on the technologies of\u00a0laser powder bed fusion<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0material jetting<\/a> \u00a0and electron beam melting<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Finally, the study specifies that North America dominates the market for 3D printed implants possessing more than 30% of the market’s shares. In 2022, the Asia Pacific region is expected to become the second largest user of 3D technologies with leading countries such as China, India and Japan. This rise is largely due to an increasing prevalence of dental and bone disorders.\u00a0There are still a number of challenges to overcome, such as the certification of 3D printed implants, but so far everything suggests that we are on the right track!
