Continuous technological innovations coupled with high investments in
healthcare are two key factors that fuel the global Artificial
Organ and Bionics Market. Artificial organs refer to devices that are
developed to replace natural organs in the human body. The need for organ
transplant arises when a certain natural organ has either stopped working or
doesn’t function properly. Artificial organs and artificial body parts are made
from substances known as biomaterials.
Man made hazards and high frequency of accidents may propel the global
artificial organ and bionics market during the forecast period (2014 to 2020).
Artificial liver, artificial limbs, artificial pancreas, artificial heart, and
artificial kidneys are examples of artificial organs that function exactly like
natural organs when implanted in the human body. The application of electronics
& mechanics in the field of medicine has led to newer innovations in
developing artificial organs.
The worldwide artificial organ and bionics market is categorized on the
basis of products, technologies, and regions. Based on products, the segments
are artificial pancreas, artificial liver, artificial lungs, artificial heart,
and artificial kidney. Medical bionics products are further subdivided into
cardiac bionics, brain bionics, vision bionics, heart bionics, limb bionics,
and exoskeleton bionics. Due to high prevalence of heart disorders worldwide,
the segment for heart bionics holds the largest share in the overall market.
The artificial lungs & kidney segments held considerable industry shares in
2013. These segments may grow substantially during the forecast period because
of problems, such as alcohol abuse and consumption of drugs & cigarettes.

On the basis of technologies, the industry is bifurcated into mechanical
bionics and electronic bionics. Rapid technological advancements have led to
the development of medical bionics that meets the challenges of organ failure.
Mechanical bionics is mostly employed in the development of orthopedic body
parts.
As per regions, the global artificial organ and bionics market is
categorized into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World.
North America led the industry in 2013. Factors that fuel this region are high
investments in research & development and technological advancements.
Growing geriatric population, rising cases of organ failure, and high incidence
of accidents may contribute to regional growth over the forecast period.
However, the Asia Pacific market is poised to grow rapidly over the next couple
of years. This industry is driven by steady government support, medical
tourism, and surging disposable incomes. Government support has led to improvements
in healthcare infrastructures.
Companies in the worldwide artificial organ and bionics market are
Second Sight Medical Product Inc.; Medtronic Co. Ltd.; World Heart Corporation;
Thoratec Corporation; and Lifenet Health. Besides being monopolistic, the
global market is a highly competitive one too.
Researchers have begun examining using 3D printing in the development of
artificial organs. Organovo, a U.S. based biotech startup, focuses on 3D
printing of human tissues. These are then sculpted in layers to form organs.
Nano Dimension, an Israeli 3D printing company in collaboration with Accellta
has successfully mixed human stem cells in printing inks. Accellta is an Israel
based stem cell technology company. The striking feature of the inkjet methods of
Nano Dimension is the speed at which it prints the human tissues. While most 3D
printing techniques take hours to perform this task, Nano Dimension’s
technology does it in a matter of seconds.
