Market Highlights
Bone wax is a mechanical hemostat used in surgeries to stop bleeding. Bone wax does not involve any pharmacological action. It is basically a sterilized mixture of beeswax, and it consists of isopropyl palmitate, which is a wax softening agent and is used to stop bleeding from the bone surface. It is used in surgical procedures like orthopedics, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, dental, oral, traumatology, and jaw surgery. The rising number of surgical procedures is a major booster which drives the global bone wax market. Orthopedic surgeries are increasing due to the rising prevalence of orthopedic diseases, especially osteoporosis and accidental fractures. Also, the rising usage of absorbable bone wax products and the growing geriatric population is also fueling the market growth. According to the Population Reference Bureau in 2016, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to reach 98 million by 2060. On the other hand, stringent government rules for the approval of bone wax and the availability of alternatives for bone wax may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The global Bone Wax Market size is currently dominated by many market players. The prominent market players are engaged in new product launches and strategic partnerships to strengthen its market position. For instance, in February 2016, Wound Management Technologies announced the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its product HemaQuell, which is a resorbable bone wax.
