Overview:

Titanium is a widely used element which has a wide number of uses in human life. Due to the unique properties of titanium such as low density, high strength, anti-corrosion and high heat resistance, medical grade titanium materials find their way in several medical and healthcare applications. Currently, the medical and healthcare sector has been promoted from titanium materials owing to the unique ability of titanium to bond with the human bone as well as its excellent non-toxic property. There are several titanium based alloys which are used for numerous industries, although the titanium materials compatible with medical uses include titanium 6AL4V ELI and Titanium 6AL4V. These titanium materials are alloyed with vanadium (4%) and aluminum (6%). Also known as Grade 23 and Grade 5 medical grade titanium materials, they have an exceptional compatibility with the human body. There are various suppliers of medical grade titanium materials across the globe who specialize in providing titanium materials for specific medical applications. In addition, titanium Ti-6Al-4V ELI and Ti-6Al-4V are widely used for dental implants. A titanium screw is implanted inside the jaw, which acts as the root of the tooth. Once the implant sets in the jaw bone, an artificial tooth is placed into the implant. Titanium materials are unreactive with body acids and fluids making it relatively durable and long-lasting. Medical grade titanium materials are utilized for prosthetics such as plates, pins, cages and rods that are inserted into the human body. Moreover, medical grade titanium materials find major applications in knee and hip replacement surgeries. Medical grade titanium materials are also used in shoulder and elbow replacement surgeries. Furthermore, medical grade titanium pegs are used in aesthetic procedures including stands for false eyelashes. Also, titanium heart valves are used widely in heart transplants and bypass surgeries.

Increasing number of orthopedic patients across the globe is escalating the demand for joint replacement surgeries which is driving the global medical grade titanium materials market. In addition, increasing number of bone related ailments especially among the geriatric population is further anticipated to accelerate the growth of the global medical grade titanium materials market. Moreover, technological advancements in introducing cost effective manufacturing procedures along with superior weight to strength ratio as compared to traditional options such as steel is projected to augment the market in the foreseeable years. Furthermore, increasing initiatives by the governments of several developed and developing economies to provide high-tech medical facilities coupled with increasing spending capacities of consumers are further expected to accelerate the overall market growth. However, scarcity of raw materials coupled with volatile prices are some of the major factors expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period. Although, increase in investments on research & development for the introduction of more efficient and cost effective products is projected to tender lucrative opportunities for the key vendors in the coming years.
