INTRODUCTION
The introduction of bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) can turn the bone graft market on its head. Though overpriced, they have the potential to eclipse all other products including synthetic substitutes, allografts, demineralized bone matrices (DBMs), and machined bone. What does the future hold for the bone graft markets in the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Japan?
SCOPE OF THIS REPORT
- Key data and detailed analysis of the 7 leading country markets: the US, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK
- Analyses and transcripts of interviews with 9 top global thought leaders including discoverers of BMPs
- Forecasts for the bone substitutes and growth factor market to 2006, broken down by country and product segment
REPORT HIGHLIGHT
- Clinical trial data has shown BMPs to be as efficacious as autograft, the gold standard in bone grafting, in certain indications. However, there is still not much data available conclusively proving their efficacy and their price is extraordinarily high.
- DBM use in Europe is small. This may be due to lack of availability in this region. European thought leaders express positive views for their potential but have been unable to realize it due to marketing barriers. Europe represents a huge untapped market for DBMs.
- AGF systems are being marketed as cheap but effective alternatives to BMPs. Although some surgeons believe in them, few feel these systems have as great a potential as BMPs. The prevailing sentiment is that they are promising, but they haven't yet found their ideal indication.
