Growing Areas of Application of Implantable Medical Devices Fuel the Middle East & Africa Implantable Medical Devices Market
Medical implants are devices positioned inside the body. The implantable medical devices are used to replace missing body parts, deliver medication, monitor body functions, or support organs and tissues. Implantable medical devices are important to healthcare as they completely increase patients' safety and quality of life. Many implantable medical devices monitor blood pressure and irregular heartbeat, which help alert medical specialists for signs of criticality and also direct individuals toward appropriate care. A few widely used implants are pacemakers, defibrillators, cardiovascular stents, neural prosthetics, and drug delivery systems. According to an article titled "Bone Health 2022," osteoporosis causes over 8.9 million fractures every year, leading to an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds worldwide. Patients suffering bone fractures in different body parts require implants that will enable a function similar to that of the natural bone they are replacing. Joint diseases (rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) also require surgical intervention with hip and knee replacement implants. Biomaterial implants are used to fix fractures or replace parts of the body. For most of these implant cases, either metal or polymer biomaterials are preferred for their similar functional capacity to the original bone material. Moreover, according to the WHO, nervous disorders contribute to ~6.3% of the global disease burden. Also, according to the same source, nervous disorders are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. They cause 13.2% of deaths in developed countries and 16.8% in low- and middle-income countries. High mortality and disease burden necessitate the clinical urgency for integrating long-term solutions. Furthermore, growing awareness regarding the tremendous burden of neurological disorders has increased the demand for neurostimulators. As per World Cancer Research Fund International, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in developed and developing countries. In 2020, there were more than 2.2 million new breast cancer cases in women. Breast implants are medical devices that are implanted under the breast tissue or chest muscle to boost breast size (augmentation) or replace breast tissue removed due to cancer. Therefore, the rising application of medical implant devices in breast cancer, neurological disorders, and osteoporosis drives the growth of the implantable medical device market.Middle East & Africa Implantable Medical Devices Market Overview
