The lack of organ donors is encouraging patients waiting for a transplant to use artificial organs, increasing its popularity in the future.

Artificial Organ Market Growth Drivers:

• Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases: Chronic disease, including diabetes, hypertension, kidney failure, and autoimmune disorders, causes metabolic imbalances, which result in tissue damage, scarring, and nerve vessels damage which can impact the overall functioning of the organ. Such diseases have become one of the leading causes of death in various major economies, and with the constant growth in sedentary lifestyle and improper nutrition intake, the health factor has started to deteriorate, which is further expected to increase the overall prevalence. The market for artificial organs worldwide is rising because the population requires more treatment solutions due to the rising incidence of chronic illnesses. These devices present a possible approach to patients with organ dysfunction, serving as temporary support to organ transplantation or lifelong replacement. Heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and diabetes are the leading causes of death in America, with statistics showing 702,880 deaths, 608,371 deaths, 165,393 deaths, 147,382 deaths, and 101,209 deaths, respectively, in 2023.

According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2024, the number of people having diabetes in Europe stood at 65.6 million, and by 2050, the number is expected to grow to 72.4 million, thereby showing a 9.39% growth in the diabetic cases. Likewise, the same source also specified that the region has the highest frequency of people suffering from Type-1 diabetes in 2024, nearly 193 USD billion in Europe for treating such disease. Diabetic patients hold a high risk for organ failure, and with such high prevalence, the organ demand is expected to show considerable growth, thereby creating a huge imbalance between demand and supply. Hence, artificial organs have provided a new prospect to fulfil this imbalance, which positively impacts the overall market growth.

Likewise, as per the American Kidney Fund, in 2024, there were nearly 90,000 Americans on the kidney transplant list, and from them, only 28,492 received a kidney transplant. Hence, with such a shortage of donor kidneys coupled with constant growth in newly diagnosed cases, the demand for other alternatives such as artificial organs, which are engineered to meet the specific patient requirements, is anticipated to pick up pace, thereby driving the overall market growth in the coming years.

• Rising Aging Population: The current aging global population boosts the development of the artificial organ market, caused by diseases such as cardiovascular, kidney, respiratory, and neurodegenerative diseases, and declining organ functions during the aging process, resulting in organ failure arising from the natural aging process. The number of US Americans aged 50 and older will increase by 61.11% from 137.25 million in 2020 to 221.13 million by 2050, and chronic illness will increase by 99.5%, from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million in 2050.
