The 3D printed implants market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to biocompatible materials innovation, expanded medical applications, remote surgery and telemedicine, global market expansion, patient-specific implant solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include bio-printing and regenerative medicine, material innovations, orthopedic implants dominance, dental applications, collaborations and partnerships, collaborations and partnerships.

The growth of the 3D printed medical implants market is being fueled by the increasing prevalence of various medical conditions. With a rising number of individuals experiencing orthopedic, cardiac, and dental diseases, the demand for 3D dental crowns, bridges, acetabular hip implants, shoulder implants, and other implants is on the rise. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 65 million people in the US suffered from periodontitis, marked by inflammation and infection of the ligaments and bones supporting teeth. This surge is attributed to the increasing incidences of periodontitis, diabetes-related gangrene, osteoarthritis, and peripheral vascular disease. Consequently, the demand for 3D printed medical implants is escalating due to the growing prevalence of various medical conditions.

The upward trajectory of the 3D printed implants market is anticipated to be further propelled by its increased utilization in dental procedures. Dental procedures encompass a broad spectrum of medical treatments performed by dental professionals to diagnose, prevent, or treat various oral health conditions. 3D printed implants are employed in dental procedures, particularly in additive manufacturing for crown and bridge restorations, where they are tailored to match the unique dental shape of the patient. In August 2022, NHS Digital reported that dentists in the UK conducted 24,272 dental activities for 2021-22, marking a rise of 539 from the previous year. This surge in dental procedures is a key factor driving the growth of the 3D printed implants market.

The stringent approval process for selecting new materials for 3D implants serves as a time-consuming constraint for the market. The high-quality materials required for 3D printing must meet specific criteria set by regulatory bodies such as the US FDA. These bodies provide guidelines and requirements, monitoring material quality control. For example, while the US FDA approved the use of titanium alloy in spinal implants, it did not extend approval for its use in other medical devices. Consequently, companies must undergo a lengthy approval process for each new material application, causing delays in product launches and hindering the growth of the 3D printed medical implants market.

Leading companies in the 3D printed implant market are actively innovating new products to enhance customer services. One notable example is the Impulse AM, designed for 3D medical implants to improve visualization during surgical procedures. In February 2022, DeGen Medical, Inc., a US-based medical device development company, introduced Impulse AM, a spinal implant made from proprietary titanium Puri-Ti using 3D printing technology. This groundbreaking product, being the first 3D-printed spinal implant utilizing Puri-Ti, enables the creation of complex geometries and structures that traditional manufacturing methods find challenging or impossible.

In September 2023, Restor3D Inc., a US-based company providing surgical and medical instruments, including 3D printed implants, acquired Conformis Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to broaden Restor3D Inc.'s product portfolio, enhance its capabilities in 3D printed orthopedic implants, and deliver clinically differentiated and cost-effective solutions to patients. Conformis Inc., a US-based company specializing in 3D-printed orthopedic implants, adds valuable expertise and resources to Restor3D Inc.'s expansion efforts.

3D printed implants serve as artificial devices designed to substitute a missing or damaged biological structure within the body. They are created by depositing successive layers of material based on input from a digital 3D model.

The primary technologies employed for implantation in 3D printed medical implants include laser beam melting, electronic beam melting, droplet deposition, laminated deposition, and two-photon polymerization. Laser beam melting, a manufacturing process, involves digitally cutting 3D components into 2D layers through a high-performance laser, melting and bonding at these specific points. These implants find various applications in dental, orthopedic, and craniomaxillofacial fields, catering to end-users such as medical and surgical centers, pharmaceutical companies, the biotechnology industry, and medical institutions.
