Hydroxyapatite Market Insights, by type

In terms of equipment type, the micro-sized segment is expected to contribute largest share of 48.14% for the Hydroxyapatite market trends in 2025, owing to the growing demand from tissue engineering, drug and gene delivery, orthopedic and dental implant coating, and endodontic treatment like pulp capping.  

Nano-sized is also expected to dominate the global market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the growing application in bones and teeth enamel due to its properties, such as  bioactivity, biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, non-toxicity, and non- inflammatory nature.  

For instance, in December 2022, according to recent article by PubMed Central, Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used as a bone substitute and more recently as a carrier for local delivery of bone targeted drugs. Majority of the approved HA based biomaterials and drug carriers comprise of micrometer sized particulate HA (mHA) or granules and can therefore only be used for extracellular drug release.

Hydroxyapatite Market Insights, by application

In terms of type, the dental care segment is expected to contribute largest share of the Hydroxyapatite market trends in 2025, and this is attributed to its biocompatible property. Moreover, it is bioactive and non-toxic ceramic that has a close analogy to the inorganic portion of human bone and teeth.

For instance, in November 2024, It is reasonable to presume that the ordinary individual has a good understanding of dentistry when terminology like "enamel layer," "calcium hydroxyapatite," "dental luminosity," and "orthodontic alignment" start to appear in casual conversations. This is the situation with Colgate's latest campaign.  The commercial, which was made by WPP@CP, emphasizes the brand's goal of increasing oral health access and awareness in India.

Orthopedic segment is also expected to witness significant growth in the near future. It is the most commonly used bioactive ceramic material in scaffold for bone growth, bone tissue engineering, and bone void fillers for spine surgery and orthopedic.
