Knee Cartilage Repair Market - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2017-2025

Cartilage is a tough and elastic material, which acts as a connective tissue present in various parts of the body. Knee cartilage is a fine, elastic cushion-like tissue holding together the bones of knee joints. The knee cartilage is integral to the body as it helps reduce friction between knee joints, acts as a shock absorber, and provides support during physical activity. However, damage can be caused during sports activities, monotonous use of the joint, congenital abnormalities and hormonal disorders that affect joint development.

Various procedures for damaged knee cartilage repair involve filling the cartilage pothole with repair tissue, to help heal the cartilage. Larger defects are treated with autologous chondrocyte transplantation or osteochondral allograft transplantation, while smaller defects are treated with autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), osteochondral autograft transfer, and marrow stimulating techniques.

The growing trend of sports activities and outdoor events among the young and old generation, has increased the risk of knee injuries, with a higher prevalence among sports players. This in turn, is expected to fuel the knee cartilage repair market in the future. Due to unhealthy lifestyle and excess consumption of junk food, the obese population has rapidly increased throughout the world. Obesity, a very common cause of knee cartilage damage, helps drive growth of the knee cartilage repair market.

Growing trend in sports activities is expected to fuel the knee cartilage repair market in future
