. Key factors driving the market in the country are growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the country due to large geriatric population and higher life expectancy, advances in orthopedics, and increasing prevalence of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) among citizens. According to an article published in the Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine in 2014, WMSD is one of the most commonly occurring problems in occupational health system of Japan.

Long working hours makes the population susceptible to shoulder and hip fractures. Moreover, the country has a unified healthcare system, owing to which the out-of-pocket expenditure for citizens is low. This encourages citizens to opt for replacement surgeries, which further creates a strong demand for orthopedic biomaterials. Furthermore, the market in the country is consolidated with many international and domestic players, such as DePuy Synthes, Kuraray, Maruho, HOYA Technosurgical, Olympus Terumo Biomaterials, Zimmer Biomet, and others.

The country is also on the forefront in terms of biomaterials research. For instance, the Japanese Society for Biomaterials (JSB) was formed in the country for carrying out extensive research on biomaterials. In addition, many other institutes such as the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology are actively carrying out research on this market. This is expected to drive the market in the near future.
