Market study on bone scaffolds:
The market for bone scaffold is receiving significance from increasing cases for damages
to tissues and defunctionalization and body of human or animals is getting inundated in self
generation ability. One of the basic concepts of regenerative medicines constitute of important
elements such as scaffold. Core technology of regenerative medicines along with tissue
engineering and stem cells are imbibed in scaffold technology. The key factor contributing to
growth of bone scaffold is increasing need for bridging the gap between supply and demand of
organs. In some region, there are companies producing and developing single products while in
other parts of world, many companies are involved in commercialization and development of
cells and cultured elements. Bone scaffold involves high risk in industrialization process and
have long development period, hence this particular field is generalized worldwide by research
and development support led by government (Giannitelli et al. 2014). The market data for bone
scaffold is not sufficient for size and scope estimations and clear understanding.
Ascertaining market for bone scaffolds in animal industry:
Treatment of damaged organs or tissues among animals often faced with problems such
as derived viruses, immune rejection response and lack of organ donors. The tissue engineering
approach for effectively replacing damaged biological tissues or transplanting or substituting
damaged bones among animals is facilitated by bones scaffolds. Bone scaffold is experiencing an
increasing trend in light of some issues faced in regeneration of tissues and bones among
animals. Countries worldwide and United States is experiencing an increasingly higher demand
for functional bone grafts (Lee et al. 2014). Bone scaffolds intend to treat a large number of
severe fracture types and thereby significantly reducing the complication rate and healing time.

According to company officials in several countries, using bone scaffolds for carpal arthrodesis
in animals is a breakthrough in companion animal’s surgery that provides many advantages
(Dias et al. 2014). Therefore, advantages of bone scaffolds to animals would provide with many
advantages to animal lost bone treatment and this would help in increasing the market for bone
scaffold among animals.
Price of competitors:
Bone scaffolds have the price of nearly 100 US $. This price of scaffold, turnover and
market growth is attributable to different economic region.
Ascertaining sales of scaffolds on online platform and Alibaba:
It has been ascertained by conducting research through various sources and websites of
company Alibaba that several materials and equipment for scaffolds are being sold by company.
Some of the scaffolds items that are sold on Alibaba are steel scaffolding joint connect pin,
standard high quality scaffolding pin, durable and reliable scaffolding joints, scaffolding joint hot
sales rings, galvanized scaffold accessory pipe clamp joints, powder coated ringlock scaffold
metal deck joints, scaffolding joint pressed single putlog quick couplers. Prices of all types of
scaffolds vary depending upon their functions and its usage in the bones scaffolding surgery.
This particular tissue engineering involves use of many biomemetic materials that are designed
to replicate one or more attributes of materials. There are some other online platforms selling
bones scaffold. Regulatory aspects of use of refolding generative medicines in scaffolding of
bones are being streamlined by government bodies (Cox et al. 2015). There is cracking down on
clinics for addressing the concerns in relation to growing number of unproven therapies of stem
cells.

gross revenue. Analyses of all these points are done for companies, types and regions. China and
Middle East are regarded as top key players in bones scaffolding industry. Middle East countries
can get influenced by China. Stem cell market of world is estimated to have an average growth
rate of 11.38 billion dollars in year 2021. While, the expected market growth rate was 10.6% in
year 2017 as against 6.877% in year 2016 and with world cell market of 2.715 billion dollars in
year 2010 (Grandviewresearch.com 2018). Bone scaffolding market is expected to account to
largest share of global market due to their unique properties such as strength, biocompatibility,
medial applications, and resistance to break. Highest growth is expected to be witnessed in Asia
pacific region and the reason is attributable to the fact that rising cosmetic and plastic surgeries
in India, new taxation policy in China, lucrative medical device industry and rising volume of
hip and knee replacement procedures among humans and animals (Castilho et al. 2015). Some of
the stakeholders in biomaterials market are healthcare service providers, equipment
manufacturing companies, consulting and researching firms, community centers, venture
capitalists, academic medical centers and teaching hospitals.

Market survey on bone scaffolds:
The market survey of bone scaffolding trend has been determined by asking several
questions from the medical practitioners who are involved in tissue engineering that is bones
scaffolding in human and animals. Survey has incorporated fifteen medical practitioners whom
four questions have been asked concerning bone scaffolding (Rajzer et al. 2014). Questions have
been framed in such a way that it helps in identification of overall bone scaffolding trend. Some
of the questions that have been asked by respondents are listed below:
What is the effectiveness of bone tissue engineering?
Majority of respondents have answered that bone tissue engineering is highly effective
because of increasing defunctionalization, damage to tissues and organ failures. Few
respondents were indifferent and remaining was not acquainted with the concept.
What are the quality of materials used in bone scaffolding and the impact of materials on tissue
reengineering?
Seven of fifteen respondents provided the answer that quality of materials used depends
upon the suppliers
What are the various countries that have been witnessing increasing trend of bone scaffolding?
Respondents did not have any clear idea about trend of scaffolding and they were mainly
concerned about their own respective countries.
Is the growth trend of bone scaffolding is likely to get influenced?

11 out of fifteen respondents provided with the answer that bone scaffolding is getting influenced
by increasing decreasing of self regeneration ability of human and animals.
From the analysis of above questions, it can be inferred that market trend for bone
scaffolding is increasing in many countries of world. Furthermore, analysis of market trend for
bone scaffolding has been done by researching on secondary sources.
In year 2014, the market size of global tissue engineering comprising of bones
scaffolding was valued to be around USD 4700 million. Demand for bone scaffolding of tissue
engineered human equivalent is growing at rapid rate as the use of animal testing model has
raised some ethical concerns. One of the primary growth factors for bone soft tissue repair
device market is attributable to the rise in strategic partnership for product distribution (Watson
et al. 2015). The main focus of medical researchers is on development of gene therapy that

growing gene therapy preference. Geographical presence forms the basis of competition between
small vendors of bones competing with large vendors along with distribution partnership. It has
been forecasted that there will be steady market growth of bone scaffolding at a compounded
annual growth rate of 10% by tear 2021 (Cheng et al. 2014).
The analysis of therapeutic applications and market for technologies of bones scaffolding
is done in terms of USD. Growth rate of bones scaffolding is expected to reach to US $ 94.2 by
tear 2022 and is expected to register a compounded annual growth rate of about 23%.
Technology market concerning scaffolding was valued at USD 610 million in year 2015 (Wu et
al. 2014). Continuous evolution of tissue engineering and the application of engineering
