REPORT COVERAGE:

This research report on the global amniotic membrane market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on the product, application, end-user, and region.

Amniotic Membrane Market - By Product:

• Cryopreserved
• Lyophilization

Based on product type, the cryopreservation amniotic membranes lead the market and predict to reach USD 1,090.08 million by the end of the forecast period. Cryopreservation involves storing the amniotic membrane with all its histological and biological properties intact. The preservation is done by using a glycerol mixed solution and storing at -80 degree Celsius; therefore, the amniotic membranes stored like this are of high quality and can be used for visual surgery aids. 

However, the lyophilized amniotic membranes showcase the highest CAGR of 14.18% during the forecast period. Furthermore, the amniotic membrane extract can treat ophthalmic defects in the corneal epithelia. This innovative product's development was based on the lyophilized human amniotic membrane, which allowed the current application to the optical surface of unlimited quantities of amniotic membrane biological factors.

Amniotic Membrane Market - By Application:

• Surgical Wounds
• Ophthalmology
• Stem Cell Biology
• Regenerative Medicine
• Others

Based on the application, the surgical wounds segment held the most significant market shares in the global market in 2022. The growing interests in surgical cures, increasing cases of hazardous trauma, burns, cosmetic surgery, and upcoming Amniotic Membrane applications are definite plus points toward the market's growth.

However, the ophthalmology segment is expected to have a promising CAGR during the forecast period due to the elasticity, transparency, and thin material of amniotic membranes that make them suitable for eye surgeries and patch-ups. 

Amniotic Membrane Market - By End-User:

• Hospitals
• Ambulatory Surgical Centers
• Specialized Clinics
• Research Centers & Laboratory

Based on the end-user, the hospital segment is expected to dominate the amniotic membrane market during the forecast period owing to the frequent influx of patients in the hospital sectors and the wide range of infrastructure and availability of professional surgeons. Additionally, the different surgeries scheduled in healthcare settings daily drive the demand for the segment. 

However, specialized clinics like plastic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology centers, etc., also require the assistance of amniotic membranes at regular intervals to promote market growth. Additionally, the growing investments in the research and development segment are also expected to help the rise of the market revenue. 

Amniotic Membrane Market - By Region:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

The Americas currently hold the largest market share, whereas Asia-Pacific has the most significant growth rate. In particular, the North American region is leading the global amniotic membrane market. The market growth in this region is rising because of factors like the rise in the number of attempted surgeries, the increase in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector, improved healthcare facilities, and growth in medical device manufacturers. 

The European region is expected to have significant growth during the forecast period due to the adoption of better healthcare systems built according to universal standards and supported by funding from government organizations promoting growth for the region. Additionally, the growing cases of chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc., among the populations of countries like the U.K., Italy, France, Germany, etc., are leading to demand for advanced technologies and the adoption of amniotic membrane applications in healthcare. 

The Asia Pacific region is growing equivalent to North America. Therefore, the Asia Pacific region market for the amniotic membrane will develop radically. The Asia Pacific market is expected to grow with the rise in the patient population and the augments in healthcare spending. Europe is also contributing a fair market share in the revenue. Mainly the Indian market exhibits the highest growth rate of 13.60% during the forecast period.
