Market Size in 2024 | Market Forecast in 2034 | CAGR (in %) | Base Year |
---|---|---|---|
USD 5.82 Billion | USD 8.66 Billion | 4.2% | 2024 |
The global cartilage repair/regeneration market size was worth around USD 5.82 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 8.66 Billion by 2034 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 4.2% between 2025 and 2034. The report analyzes the global cartilage repair/regeneration market's drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the cartilage repair/regeneration industry.
Articular cartilage, which acts as a cushion between bone terminals, is replaced by cartilage regeneration. Bone collides with a bone when the cartilage is injured or worn down, generating pain near the sensitive nerve ends. Because cartilage lacks a blood supply, it has a limited ability to repair itself. The restoration of the cartilage (articular) surface of a joint that has been impacted by an osteochondral/chondral defect is referred to as cartilage repair. After an accident, the damaged joint normally swells up, and it might take weeks or even months for the swelling to subside. Articular cartilage is a defect produced by osteoarthritis, and because of its vascular structure and restricted mitotic capabilities, it is less important for any repairs. Movement constraints, muscle stiffness, soreness, inflammation, and physical disability are among the symptoms of cartilage loss.
Over the projected period, the cartilage repair market is expected to be governed by the rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity around the world. Diabetes leads to a greater loss of cartilage.
Smooth lining which acts as a joint lubricant and absorbs shock on the bone surface is called cartilage. As we get older or face any kind of traumatic injury, cartilage undergoes wear and tear and affects the loading of joints. Due to several drawbacks of the conventional methods used for the repairing of cartilage it has been replaced by the regenerative therapy which has gained its importance with emerging technology. Cartilage repair/regeneration is a type of regenerative therapy prominently used for the regeneration of damaged cartilage.
Increasing incidence of osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis has become more common in recent years all around the world. According to a study undertaken by the University of North Carolina, around 1 million knee and hip replacement procedures are performed in the United States each year. The cost of osteoarthritis in the United States is 136.8 billion dollars per year. Degenerative joint illnesses, such as osteoarthritis, will impact more than 130 million people worldwide by 2050, according to the Arthritis Foundation.
Autologous chondrocyte implantation and Scaffolds implants are two of the most common therapies for osteoarthritis. As a result, demand for cartilage repair and regeneration products is predicted to rise as the prevalence of osteoarthritis rises.
Increasing geriatric population has resulted in the increasing number of cartilage distortion problem because of old age, people are highly prone to cartilage damage mainly due to the reduction of lubricants over the course of time. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people of age 60 or above is estimated to be doubled by 2050, rising from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050 globally. Moreover increasing road accidents under the influence of distorted roads, harsh weather conditions, reckless driving, etc. is furthermore propelling the growth of the cartilage repair/regeneration market. According to the statics published by the World Health Organization in 2016, around 1.25 million people died in road accidents worldwide. However, the high cost of treatment may pose a challenge to the cartilage repair/regeneration market. Nevertheless, growing awareness about advantages of the technology, advanced therapies, and treatment methodologies along with the prominent investment in research and development of cartilage repair/regeneration market across the globe are expected to act as driving factor for the cartilage repair/regeneration market in the near future.
High cost of cartilage repair surgeries
Even though cartilage repair procedures provide better and longer-lasting results than total knee replacement surgeries, the expense of these treatments is one of the key obstacles preventing patients from adopting them. Knee replacement treatments cost roughly USD 16,000 on average, while cartilage repair procedures cost between USD 18,000 and USD 23,000 on average, depending on the region where the procedure is performed. Because of the high prices, cartilage repair therapies are undervalued in comparison to knee replacement surgeries, resulting in a lower preference for these procedures.
The cartilage repair/regeneration market is divided by treatment modality, type, treatment, and end-use. Based on treatment modality, the cartilage repair/regeneration market has been segmented into cell-based and non-cell based. The cell-based segment is sub-segmented into growth factor technology, chondrocyte transplantation, and stem cells. The non-cell segment is sub-segmented into cell-free composites, tissue scaffolds, and stem cells. By treatment modality, cell-based treatment is estimated to hold the largest market value share attributed to the fact of long-term & effective results.
The global cartilage repair and regeneration market is segregated based on treatment mode, application, application site, and end user.
Based on treatment mode, the global cartilage repair/regeneration market is divided into cell-based and non-cell-based.
On the basis of Application, the global cartilage repair/regeneration market is bifurcated into Hyaline cartilage and Fibrocartilage.

Due to the high prevalence of osteoarthritis, the growing prevalence of sports injuries, and increased research funding in the US and Canada, North America accounted for the highest proportion of the cartilage repair and regeneration market. Furthermore, increased physician and patient awareness of innovative treatment techniques and technologies, as well as considerable government investments in Cartilage Repair/Regeneration technologies and therapies, are all helping the market's growth in North America. The Asia Pacific region is predicted to have a greater CAGR than other areas over the projection period. Furthermore, the increased prevalence of osteoporosis in Australia and New Zealand is resulting in an increase in cartilage injury, which is likely to accelerate the vertical's growth. In recent years, the markets in South America and the Middle East, and Africa (MEA) have been gradually expanding. These markets offer untapped potential due to a large population suffering from chronic joint and bone problems.
