Hydroxyapatite is an essential component of both bone and teeth. This natural mineral makes up about 97% of tooth enamel and 70% of dentin. HA is also used in a variety of medical applications, including dental implants and hard tissue reconstruction. The most common form of hydroxyapatite is naturally occurring in the human body, but a synthetic version called nano hydroxyapatite (NHA) is also available for use in medicine. NHA is made from a special blend of calcium and phosphorus, forming a dense mineral coating that can help heal damaged or weakened joints. NHA is a great addition to joint replacement surgeries because it helps the bone integrate with the new implant and lessens the risk of rejection by the body. The coating also encourages new bone growth around the implant itself.
Market Dynamics:
The global hydroxyapatite market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to its increasing use in orthopedics, biochemical research, dental care, and others. The growth of the hydroxyapatite market is driven by several factors including rising demand for orthopedic and dental implants, the availability of low-cost synthetic hydroxyapatite implants, and the development of nano-hydroxyapatite coatings that promote bone healing in bone implant procedures at a faster rate. In addition, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry is also likely to stimulate growth of this market.
On the other hand, high cost of implants is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
