South Korea Artificial Organs and Bionics Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)
The key factors that are responsible for the growth of the artificial organs and bionics market include rising geriatric population and technological advancements in the artificial organ and bionics market.
Another primary factor is the scarcity of donor organs. The lack of availability of potential organs to transplant has been a major issue. The demand for organ donors is ever-increasing and is very high compared to the actual supply. In 2019, 4,296 organ transplants were performed in Korea, of which 1,611 were donations from the deceased and 2,685 were living donations, as per the International Registry of Organ Donation and Transplantation (IRODaT). The number of patients waiting for a kidney and liver transplant has also increased across the years. This has been a major boost for the artificial organ bionics market, as the patients cannot afford to wait in the queue since the stakes are very high. Bionics and artificial organs are able to cater to the needs of those in need of organ transplantations and replacements. They can replicate the function of damaged organs.
Key Market TrendsArtificial Kidney Segment is Expected to Show Better Growth in the Forecast YearsBased on Artificial Organ, the market is segmented into Artificial Heart, Artificial Kidney, Artificial Lungs, Cochlear Implants and Other Organ Types.
