The global biomaterials market size is expected to reach USD 488.70 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 15.6% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The application of biomaterials represents a fast-growing field in biomedical research. Recent advances in the improvement of bioactivity, compatibility, and mechanical properties of biomaterials have introduced new opportunities for their application in tissue engineering, immune engineering, and drug delivery systems.

Biocompatibility, low toxicity, and renewable nature of polymeric biomaterials make them potent drug delivery agents in controlled and targeted drug delivery, thus providing lucrative opportunities for the market growth. The advent of improved drug delivery approaches, such as PEG-coated liposomes, biopolymer-coated liposomes, and nanomaterials drug delivery, further expands the prospects of these biopolymers in the pharmaceutical and medical industries.

Use of biomaterials has greatly benefited the regeneration of the cardiopulmonary system. These materials provide physical support and physiological and chemical cues to seeded cells to assist the tissue regeneration process. Integration of biomaterials with nanotechnology techniques also stimulates the regeneration of damaged cardiomyocytes’ extracellular matrix, thus replacing the traditional organ transplantation procedures.
