Biomaterials for human healthcare

摘要

The global biomaterials market is estimated to be US$88.4 billion by 2017 (ref. 1). A rise in musculoskeletal disorders further enlarges the scope of biomaterials in healthcare, which imposes a burden of more than US$ 250 billion every year on the society. It is interesting to note that North America has the largest share of the biomaterials market in the world. However, the Indian market is slowly emerging.
