CHINA BONE GRAFT AND SUBSTITUTE MARKET FORECAST 2023-2030

The China bone graft and substitute market segmentation includes application and type. The type segment includes synthetics and additives, autografts, and allografts. The allografts segment includes demineralized bone matrix and other allografts. 

Allografts are tissue grafts that are moved from one individual to another within the same species, albeit with a different genetic composition. They hold significant value in grafting procedures such as spine fusion surgery, as well as in the reconstruction of the hip, knee, and long bones. Allograft bone does not contain living cells and is available in various shapes and forms. Typically, allografts are obtained from donors, individuals whose bone material is preserved in bone banks.

Dental professionals perform a greater number of bone allograft transplants compared to other surgical specialists. Dental implant procedures require an adequate amount of bone support for securely anchoring the new tooth. Many patients encounter challenges such as insufficient bone due to pre-existing conditions, and some have jawbones with inadequate thickness. In such cases, it becomes necessary to augment the bone before placing the implant. Utilizing a bone allograft ensures the establishment of a stable structure, thus facilitating the successful positioning of an implant.

Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is a derivative of human allograft obtained by eliminating the mineralized portion of bone using an acid extraction method. Through this demineralization process, minerals such as calcium and phosphate are removed from the bone, while the vital components necessary for supporting bone growth are retained. DBM products come in different forms, including powders, putties, and sheets, allowing them to be versatile for various surgical purposes.

DBM is a widely used allograft product in the field of dentistry, renowned for its osteoinductive and osteoconductive qualities. The osteoinductive properties of DBM can be influenced by factors like specific demineralization and sterilization procedures and may also exhibit variation among different donors. It finds application in a range of dental procedures, including the treatment of bone cysts, bone fractures, tumor surgeries, spinal cord procedures, and other interventions involving long bones.

The other category of allografts comprises machined allografts, which find application in stabilizing the anterior column during interbody fusion procedures in the spinal cord. Interbody fusion can be accomplished through either an anterior or posterior approach. The use of machined bone allografts can help avoid the necessity for follow-up surgeries, which are typically both painful and expensive and are frequently carried out in spinal fusion procedures. Machined allografts refer to bone grafts that have been meticulously shaped or tailored for particular surgical purposes.

Some of the leading players in the China bone graft and substitute market are Stryker Corporation, Medtronic Inc, NuVasive Inc, etc.
