The global 3D bioprinting market is estimated to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021 – 2028. 3D bioprinting is an extended branch of 3D printing. 3D bioprinting constructs living blood vessels, bone, tissue with a potential to produce organs for use in medical training and testing. 3D bioprinting uses additive manufacturing as its foundation, unlike 3D printing, which uses a layering process to produce solid objects.
The global 3D Bioprinting market is expected to develop slowly as compared to conventional 3D printing, due to the cellular intricacy of the human body. 3D bioprinting may produce patient-specific tissue, delivering precise, focused, and personalized treatments.
However, it has a long road to cover before reaching a point of fully functioning organs which can be used for transplantation. 3D bioprinting can be the answer to global organ shortage and rising disinclination to test new pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic products on animals.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- The market growth can be attributed to an inadequate number of organ donors and rising geriatric population with respiratory diseases.
- Technological innovations, increasing R&D investments, and rising occurrence of chronic diseases are anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
- Due to rising COVID-19 cases, there is an increase in demand for 3D bioprinting, thereby propelling the market growth.
- The demand for skilled professionals, who can efficiently manage complex functioning of 3D bioprinting systems is rising, but availability of such professionals is limited which restrains the growth of the market.
- 3D bioprinting uses living cells for products to be used in medical applications. The use of bioprinted products has raised biosafety concerns. Moreover, concerns over biomaterials used and the techniques of waste elimination are major factors that hamper the implementation of 3D bioprinting.
