In 2015, the orthopedic applications accounted for the largest market share of 30.08%. The increasing incidence of diseases such as musculoskeletal disorders,obesity, trauma, osteoporosis, and other orthopedic conditions among the aging population is one of the primary drivers for the acceptance of medical ceramics.Asia-Pacific (APAC) is the fastest growing market for medical ceramics, with China and India being the leading countries. The market in the region is foreseen to grow at a CAGR of 8% to reach $4.35 million by 2020. China is the leading manufacturer of ceramic products worldwide. Apart from China and India, Japan, Indonesia, and Australia are the countries that account for a considerable demand in the region.The demand for medical ceramics in APAC is on the rise due to the rising incidence of trauma and orthobiological injuries.In 2015, bioinert materials accounted for a share of 39.92% in the market. These

bioinert materials are used as substitutes for metallic implants. Bioinert materials are also used in the manufacture of orthopedic implants as they show remarkable hardness.
