The Soft Tissue Allografts market is anticipated to grow from US$ 4,088.49 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 6,748.28 million by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 7.4% during 2024-2031. Increasing aging population and the rising incidence of sports injuries & trauma are contributing to the growing soft tissue allografts market size. However, the high cost of procedures hampers the soft tissue allografts market growth. Further, development of customized grafts is expected to bring in new soft tissue allografts market trends in the coming years.

In terms of revenue, North America dominated the market in 2024. It is estimated to dominate the global market during the forecast period. The US is the largest market for soft tissue allografts in the world.

Sports injuries often lead to ailments such as joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. As per the data published by Johns Hopkins, there has been a significant rise in the number of participants in organized sports activities over the years. Approximately 30 million children and adolescents participate in youth sports in the country, leading to an increase in the number of sports injuries among young athletes, with over 3.5 million injuries reported yearly. Almost one-third of all injuries that occur in childhood are caused by sports. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), biking caused 426,000 injuries in 2020, the most of any sport or recreational activity, while exercises (with or without equipment) ranked second with ~378,000 injuries. These factors were followed by off-highway vehicles (OHVs, including mopeds and minibikes) with 230,000 injuries, and skateboards, scooters, and hoverboards with 218,000 injuries. Sports-related injuries often involve damage to soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries range from strains and sprains to more severe conditions such as tears or ruptures. In some cases, when the injury is too extensive for the body to heal on its own, soft tissue allografts are used to repair or reconstruct the damaged tissue. These allografts are particularly useful for repairing ligaments, tendons, or cartilages that are too damaged to treat via other methods such as sutures or autografts (using patient's self-tissue).

The US represents a significant portion of the soft tissue allografts market, with a notable number of procedures performed annually. According to a study titled "New Device Inspired by Python Teeth Doubles Strength of Rotator Cuff," published in 2024, more than 600,000 rotator cuff procedures are performed yearly in the US. As per the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, nearly 100,000 to 250,000 ACL ruptures are reported in the country annually. Several tissue injuries have received significant importance, increasing awareness about soft tissue injuries and their treatment among athletes.

Furthermore, in May 2023, AlloSource announced the introduction of AlloMend Duo Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM), a natural solution designed for soft tissue reconstruction. It is one of the largest nonprofit providers of allografts in the US, known for developing innovative cellular and tissue products to aid surgeons in healing their patients. ADM was developed to assist surgeons in repairing and reconstructing soft tissue defects, offering long-term structural support. This deep reticular dermal allograft integrates with the surrounding tissue, serving as a scaffold that encourages cell repopulation and regeneration of natural host tissues. Its flexible and pliable characteristics make it ideal for various medical procedures that demand strength and biocompatibility in a human regenerative tissue matrix, allowing for precision placement and optimal handling.

New Product Launches to Provide Market Opportunities in Future

Several companies are focusing on developing innovative products through extensive research. These products are likely to offer superior treatment outcomes compared to the existing products. For instance, AlloSource is one of the largest allograft providers in the US, offering innovative cellular and tissue products to help healthcare providers heal their patients. In May 2023, the company announced the launch of AlloMend Duo Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM), a natural solution for soft tissue reconstruction. In June 2024, Axogen, Inc., a global leader in developing innovative surgical solutions for peripheral nerve injuries, announced the launch of its new product named Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix. This product is intended for use as a soft tissue barrier; it is a resorbable, multi-layer amniotic membrane allograft designed to provide temporary protection and tissue separation during the critical phase of peripheral nerve healing. In February 2022, Amnio Technology, a global leader in amniotic tissue allograft development and distribution, announced the launch of two new products in its PalinGen membrane line: the PalinGen Dual-Layer Membrane and the Dual Layer PalinGen X-Membrane. Similar to all products in the PalinGen family, these new allografts are minimally modified and are intended for homologous use. The new soft tissue allograft products launched in recent years are designed to meet changing patient needs, improve recovery times, reduce complications, and address various clinical indications. Launching more such products is expected to create significant growth opportunities for the soft tissue allograft market in the coming years.
