How Are Emerging Trends Reshaping The Dynamics Of The Polymer Biomaterial Market?
Tight regulatory controls relating to the bio-compatibility of polymer biomaterials could impede the expansion of the global polymer biomaterials market. Despite undergoing meticulous presale checks, there continue to be significant concerns and complications surrounding the bio-compatibility of these biomaterials. Implanting biomaterials can cause immune and inflammatory responses, initiated by cell and molecule activity in the host. This could trigger severe inflammation, inhibit healing, cause the formation of fibrous capsules, destroy tissues or even culminate in the rejection and isolation of the implant. Regulating bodies have instituted strict rules to combat these negative immune responses, which in turn curtail market proliferation.
