Biomimetics is a rapidly expanding area of medical engineering. The term "biomimetics" refers to the study of nature and other natural phenomena to understand fundamental principles to use these ideas that can help sectors like mechanical engineering, technological biology, and mechatronics. Medical biomimetics is more precisely a sort of inventive technology that imitates nature in an endeavor to enhance human life.
Popular examples include the design of strong building structures modelled after turban shells, the invention of swimsuits with fluid-drag reduction features inspired by the form of a shark's skin, and the design of aeroplane wings after bird wings. Medical biomimetics is a field with a long history and many useful applications.
It has seen encouraging developments in the production of surgical equipment over the last few years. These surgical instruments, which were designed with biomimicry in mind, are equipped with features like cutting, stinging, sucking, and gripping that are common to hands, feet, and mouths.
The increased need for implants and prostheses to meet the need for organ transplantation, particularly among elderly populations, is a primary driver of the medical biomimetics market. Medical biomimetics is important since it is widely believed that no design breakthrough is possible without using nature as a potential model. Due to the recent application of biomimetic technology for organ regeneration, the market is predicted to expand over the coming years.

Innovation in nanotechnology
The development of medication delivery systems due to advances in nanotechnology will have a beneficial effect on the growth of medical biomimetics during the forecast period. Nanomaterials are appealing for use in biomedical applications and show tremendous potential in biomimicry medicine based on their biocompatibility, physical, and chemical properties.
The development of biomimetic functionalized nanotechnology has allowed for the functionalization and modification of nanomaterials by components obtained from cell membranes, resulting in biomimetic nanomaterials with improved biocompatibility, stability, targeting, and specificity. Inferring that these biomimetic nanomaterials can be employed for disease detection, the biomimetic functionalized variation of nanomaterials can establish selectivity for tissue disease or biomarkers. Thus, there is an abundance of interest in the application of biomimetic nanomaterials for non-invasive disease diagnosis.
High cost of cell and gene therapy
Researchers claim that high production costs hold back patients from accessing cell and gene therapies and that industry-wide capacity expansion and manufacturing method optimization would be helpful. The cost of cell and gene therapy is high. According to research conducted by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), a single dose of gene therapy typically costs between USD 1 million and USD 2 million. Similarly, the average cost per treatment for cell therapy is USD 1 million, although prices vary considerably depending on the product and the indication. Thus, this is expected to hamper the market expansion during the forecast period.
Increasing R&D activities
In the diagnostic imaging market arena, which includes ultrasound, electrocardiographs, and computed tomography scans, rising R&D efforts as well as the expanding application potential of medical biomimetics are anticipated to propel market expansion. For instance, Imperial College London is right now creating a flexible steerable probe that is biomimetic. The goal of this research is to precisely place minimally invasive instrumentation (electrodes, catheters for deep brain stimulation), perform clinical analysis and diagnosis (sampling, biopsy), micro neurosurgery, and localized drug delivery in order to access deep brain regions with the least amount of damage.
Based on the type, the global medical biomimetics market is segmented into cardiovascular, orthopedic, ophthalmology, dental and others. The cardiovascular segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The growth in the segment is owing to the growing prevalence and increasing CVD implants. For instance, according to the secondary analysis, with 17.9 million deaths per year, CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide. Every year, more than 2.1 million people have CVD implants to prolong their lives.
Additionally, the market will benefit from attractive opportunities brought on by the introduction of technologically sophisticated products and government funding, driving the market growth during the forecast period. To grow human replacement tissues as next-generation implants for treating CVDs, LifeMatrix has created a unique bioengineering method.
The patented LifeMatrix tissues can be produced as heart valves, blood vessels, and other cardiovascular components. Throughout the patient’s lifetime, the biomimetic device aids in avoiding repeated major procedures and the risk they involve.
The orthopedic segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Bones made from biomimetics have been created to help patients with disabilities walk. The design of calcium-phosphate protein templates is the subject of numerous scientific investigations.
The biomineralization process has been used to mimic the shape, chemical composition, and physical characteristics of genuine tissues. Additionally, with the increase in accidents, biomimetics in orthopedics is predicted to grow rapidly. According to estimates from the Association for Safe International Road Travel, between 20 and 50 million non-fatal injuries result in permanent disability. Thus, this is expected to drive segment growth.
Based on the application, the market is bifurcated into wound healing, tissue engineering, drug delivery and others. The wound healing segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Due to the rising number of surgical cases and the global rise in the incidence of chronic diseases, there is an increasing demand for products that promote wound healing and wound care.
The market will also keep expanding because of certain demographic trends, including an ageing population, an increase in diabetes and obesity, and an associated increase in sensitivity to chronic wounds that don't heal. In the United States, 6.9 million people—or around 2% of the country's total population—were estimated to have chronic wounds as of 2021.
Additionally, the growing population of patients in need of better care places a significant financial strain on the healthcare system. The overall expense of treating chronic wounds is sharply rising, with a recent estimate of the cost in the United States exceeding USD 28 billion annually.
The drug delivery segment is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. This is due to a shift in patient preferences towards the use of sophisticated drug administration systems and rising research and development. Albumin-based delivery has so far shown to be the most effective method for biomimetics therapies, and medicines containing abraxane, liraglutide, semaglutide, and albiglutide are widely available on the market. Another intriguing application of biomimetics in medicine is cell-based biomimetic delivery.
For instance, RBC have been studied as living cell transporters since the 1970s. Additionally, as biomimetics approaches show potential in enhancing medication efficiency in targeted drug delivery, the adoption of targeted drug delivery systems encourages the expansion of this method of delivery.
