Description: Biomedical textiles are fibrous structures designed for use in specific biological
environments, where their performance depends on biocompatibility with cells and biological tissue or
fluids. They are also branch of technical textile. Biomedical textiles are textile product s and
constructions, for medical and biological applications. It is related to medical textile. They can be defined
as materials comprising of fibres that are specially designed for use in specific biological conditions,
wherein biocompatibility and bio-stability with cells and biological environment are the factors
determining the performance of biomedical textiles.
This market is expected to grow at a CAGR 5.5% to 6.5% from 2019 to 2024 which can be
attributed to the increasing use of biomedical textiles in non-implantable, implants, extracorporeal and
surgical suture applications. Also, increasing demand for non-woven fabrics from non-implantable
applications, such as gauze, cohesive, adhesive, tubular, and triangular bandages is expected to grow
further. Increasing expenditure on healthcare facilities and rising income are also propelling the growth
of the biomedical textiles market. The controllable degradability, biocompatibility, ease of processing,
and significant mechanical strength are the factors considered for any biomaterial to be used for soft
tissue repair, extracorporeal implants, health care and hygiene products, and other related purposes. High
R&D investments and capital requirement for making biomedical textiles can stand as barrier to the
growth of the biomedical textiles market.
