The global Hydroxyapatite Market was valued at USD 480.2 million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 501.8 million by 2023. Furthermore, with rising demand from the healthcare industry, the overall sales of hydroxyapatite are expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 7.8% between 2023 and 2033, topping a valuation of USD 1,063.5 million by 2033.
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, generally used for bone repair and bone regeneration. It is being increasingly utilized in dental and orthopedic applications due to its optimum stability, biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteo-conductivity, and non-toxic nature.
Thermodynamically, hydroxyapatite is the most stable calcium phosphate compound under physical conditions such as temperature, pH, and composition of body fluids.
Due to the sheer growing preference for biomaterials, the dental implant and prosthetic industry are expected to have a direct impact on hydroxyapatite consumption. Over the forecast period, biochemical research is projected to propel the hydroxyapatite industry growth by expanding the application areas for 3-D printing and artificial bones.

Growing Demand for Implants Due to the Surge in Geriatric Population Pushing the Demand for Hydroxyapatite
In the elderly population, tooth loss has become a prevalent issue. According to the World Bank, the population over 65 has increased significantly during the past ten years. Various studies have revealed that the chances of developing ailments including osteoarthritis, knee, joint, and hip issues, as well as dental decay, are higher in the aging population.
There have also been escalating accidents worldwide that caused damage to bones, teeth, etc. The number of patients seeking such implants and replacements has increased significantly. As a result of this, there has been a rise in hydroxyapatite demand.
With an aging population and a surge in health issues across the world, demand for implants is expected to rise during the forecast period. This is projected to bolster the growth of the hydroxyapatite industry.
Rising Spending on Facial Rejuvenation Treatments to Create Opportunities for Hydroxyapatite Market
In the past ten years, non-surgical procedures for facial rejuvenation have become increasingly popular. There are numerous causes for this. Patients who want to see quick, natural results with the least amount of difficulty are drawn to these treatments since they are less expensive and need less recovery time than surgical procedures.
For these procedures, options including Botox and dermal fillers are available. As an alternative to collagen- and hyaluronic acid-based fillers, hydroxyapatite-based fillers are an excellent choice.
In terms of materials for wrinkle fillers, hydroxyapatite makes sense. Human teeth and bones naturally contain this harmless, biodegradable, and biocompatible mineral.
The popular filler Radiesse, which is made of hydroxyapatite, is made up of tiny hydroxyapatite microspheres (particles) contained in a gel-like fluid. Moderate to facial folds, deep wrinkles, lipoatrophy, and similar issues are the most typical uses of hydroxyapatite-based cosmetic fillers.
Thus, increasing spending by consumers on facial rejuvenation treatments is expected to boost the growth of the hydroxyapatite industry during the forecast period.
Principal Consultant
Certain factors may hinder the market growth of the hydroxyapatite market during the forecast period. One of the key factors is the availability of alternatives such as titanium. Titanium and other metal-based implants currently dominate developing-country markets due to a lack of awareness and the fact that metallic implants are relatively cheaper.
Titanium implants have proven to be successful and compatible with body tissues. In the dental industry today, titanium is used in 95 percent of implants. The primary reason for this is that it is a strong, lightweight, non-toxic, and corrosion-resistant material.
Similarly, the high cost of hydroxyapatite implants is also likely to impact market growth during the forecast period.
Rising Healthcare Spending Boosting Hydroxyapatite Market Growth in the United States
| Country | The United States |
|---|---|
| Market Share % (2023) | 26.9% |
As per FMI’s latest analysis, the United States is projected to continue to dominate the North American hydroxyapatite market during the forecast period, owing to the better healthcare infrastructure, the surge in the number of non-invasive cosmetic surgeries, increasing healthcare spending, and strong presence of leading hydroxyapatite manufacturers.
The rapid rise in healthcare spending is a key factor driving growth in the United States hydroxyapatite market. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the United States’ healthcare spending grew 9.7% in 2020, reaching USD 4.1 trillion. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 19.7%.
Similarly, as per World Bank data, the population over 65 in the United States accounted for approximately 16.6% of the total population, necessitating more medical attention for tooth decay and gum problems.
Thus, the growing adoption of highly advanced implants across the healthcare industry is expected to boost the demand for hydroxyapatite in the United States market during the assessment period. FMI predicts the United States hydroxyapatite industry to reach around USD 266.2 million by the end of 2033.
Surge in Geriatric Population Driving Demand for Hydroxyapatite Across China

Majority of Hydroxyapatite Sales Remain Concentrated in the Dental Industry
| Segment | Dental |
|---|---|
| Market Share % (2023) | 40.2% |
As per FMI, the dental segment is likely to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the hydroxyapatite manufacturers during the forecast period, owing to the rising usage in dental & orthopedic applications.
Hydroxyapatite is one of the building blocks that make tooth enamel, cementum & dentin. It helps in the remineralization of teeth and keeps teeth strong & healthy from enamel erosion & cavities. Hence it is actively being used in dental hygiene products or implants.
Nano-hydroxyapatite, which has crystals that range in size from 50 to 1000 nm, has exciting and soon-to-be-used applications in dentistry, thanks to the recently increasing interest in nanotechnology in numerous sectors.
When present in toothpaste, the nano-hydroxyapatite has a potent affinity for binding to proteins as well as to plaque and bacterial pieces. A study suggests that over 35% of people have untreated dental decay. Fluoride-free alternatives that contain hydroxyapatite have lately been proven to be effective as anti-caries agents.
69% of people between the ages of 35 and 44 have lost one or more permanent teeth due to trauma, gum disease, ineffective root canal therapy, or dental decay, according to data from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
Additionally, at the age of 74, 26% of people had lost every permanent tooth. It follows that there are between 100,000 and 300,000 dental implants used each year. From the abovementioned factors, the dental application is anticipated to reach about USD 331.5 million by the end of 2033.
On the other hand, the orthopedics segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period.
The hydroxyapatite industry is fairly consolidated with key players holding a significant share in the market. Key manufacturers are devoted to adopting strategies like investments in R&D, partnerships, collaborations, and acquisitions. They are also signing agreements & contracts with end-use industries for long-term supply of material & to gain more profit.
