Bone Wax Global Market Report 2025

The bone wax market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $68.46 billion in 2024 to $71.74 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, an increasing number of spinal surgeries, higher healthcare expenditure, and a surge in bone cancers and related surgeries.

The bone wax market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $85.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by the rising number of orthopedic surgeries, the growing prevalence of bone-related disorders, the expanding aging population, an increase in trauma and accident cases, and greater awareness of bone health. Key trends expected include advancements in surgical techniques, high demand for bone graft substitutes, improved precision in surgical tools, development of bioabsorbable bone wax products, and the adoption of robotic surgery systems.

The growth of the bone wax market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of surgical procedures, which are rising due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases that often require surgical intervention for effective management. Surgical procedures involve manual or instrumental techniques to treat injuries, diseases, or abnormalities by altering body tissues. Bone wax is essential in these procedures as it controls bleeding from bone surfaces, helping maintain a clear surgical field and reduce complications from blood loss. For example, in May 2022, the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) reported that more than 42,000 orthopedic surgeries were performed in England, the highest monthly total since June 2021. As surgical procedures increase, the bone wax market is expected to grow.

Companies in the bone wax market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as bone putty, to improve surgical outcomes by reducing the need for removal and minimizing long-term complications. Bone putty is a moldable, biocompatible material used in surgeries to aid bone healing or control bleeding from bone surfaces. In September 2023, Abyrx Inc. received FDA approval for MONTAGE settable bone putty, the first FDA-approved bone putty for post-sternotomy cardiothoracic surgery. The putty adheres to bleeding bone surfaces and hardens quickly, enhancing stability and hemostasis.

In October 2023, Advent International and Warburg Pincus acquired Baxter International’s BioPharma Solutions (BPS) business for \$4.25 billion. The business now operates as Simtra BioPharma Solutions, maintaining the same capabilities and ensuring the continued global supply of essential pharmaceutical products. Baxter is a manufacturer of bone wax and bone hemostat.

Bone wax is a hemostatic agent primarily composed of beeswax, often combined with softening substances such as isopropyl palmitate or petroleum jelly, and is used to physically block bleeding from bone marrow and cancellous bone surfaces. Its primary function is to control bleeding from bone during surgical procedures.

The main types of bone wax include absorbable and non-absorbable variants. Absorbable bone wax is designed to be broken down by the body over time and may be either natural or synthetic. It is commonly used in procedures such as orthopedic surgery, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, dental or oral surgery, and others. Key end users include hospitals, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and additional healthcare settings.
