Hydroxyapatite Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and Outlook (2024-2031)

Hydroxyapatite (HA or HAP) of biologic (coral, bovine or marine algae-derived) or synthetic origin is utilized for bone regeneration and repair in the form of granules, blocks, and scaffolds alone or in composite with polymers or other ceramics or as coatings on orthopedic or dental implants. The products are commercially available for bone repair, replacement, and augmentation and scaffolds in tissue engineering for bone regeneration. The development of hydroxyapatite as a bone substitute material is its compositional closeness to bone minerals. HA is also utilized as an abrasive to roughen the surfaces of metal implants and as a source material for depositing bioactive coatings on orthopedic and dental implants. The materials are also suitable for application as transfection agents, medication transporters, and percutaneous devices.
