Global Biodegradable Medical Devices Market is valued at US$ 5.07 Billion in 2024, and it is expected to grow US$ 12.64 Billion by 2032 with the CAGR 11.7% from 2024 to 2032.
Scope of Global Biodegradable Medical Devices Market
In the biodegradable medical devices market, encompasses medical devices designed to degrade or dissolve within the body after serving their intended purpose, eliminating the need for surgical removal. These devices are prepared from biocompatible materials such as biodegradable polymers, metals and ceramics, which are naturally broken into non-toxic byproducts absorbed or excreted by the body. The scope of this market includes a wide range of applications ranging from orthopedic implants and cardiovascular stent to drug delivery systems and wound care products. The growing emphasis on sustainability and patient-centric healthcare solutions is running to adopt biodegradable materials in medical devices.
Furthermore, recent progress in material science has led to the development of biodegradable metallic materials such as magnesium, zinc and iron alloys, which provide high mechanical strength than traditional polymers. These materials are especially beneficial in applications such as cardiovascular stents and bone implants, where strength and gradual decline are important. For example, biodegradable stents made of magnesium alloys have shown promising results in clinical trials, which gradually provide support to blood vessels, reducing the need for a second surgery. In addition, innovations in biodegradable polymers, such as PLA and PHA are being discovered for their ability to create durable medical devices that align with increasing demand for environmentally friendly health solutions.
