Baby Boomers Driving Graft Market Growth

Originally Published MDDI September 2002

NEWS & ANALYSIS

Machine and standard bone allografts currently make up more than 70% of the total bone-graft market, which is expected to grow to nearly $1.9 billion over the next six years. Considerable increases are also anticipated for demineralized bone matrix (DBM) products. Among the factors having the greatest impact on the market are members of the aging baby boomer generation and their demand to remain active at later stages in life, more-successful surgical fusion rates, and increased training of surgeons leading to expanded bone graft use.
