Cartilage Repair Market Size To Reach $8.04 Billion By 2030

Cartilage Repair Market Growth & Trends

The global cartilage repair market size is expected to reach USD 8.04 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period, owing to the increasing prevalence of bone & joint disorders, such as Osteoarthritis (OA), rising geriatric population, and surge in the number of accidents & related injuries across the globe.

An increasing number of road accidents worldwide is causing bone and joint injuries, which is anticipated to fuel the demand for cartilage repair products over the forecast period. According to the WHO, in December 2023, every year, around 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries, resulting in a disability.

Around 30.0 million children and adolescents participate in youth sports in the U.S each year. This increase in sports activity increases incidents of injuries in athletes, which in turn propels the demand for cartilage repair products. According to research data by the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, over 3.5 million athletes receive medical treatment due to sports injuries each year.
