Platelet rich plasma (PRP) market has witnessed appreciable growth due to a growing number of devices being FDA approved in recent years; however the therapeutics market is anticipated to have an uncertain future, even as non-approved therapeutic applications flourish. Although various platelet rich plasma isolation devices have received 510(k) clearance, platelet rich plasma has not been approved for direct injection or implant without prior mixing with the bone graft materials. Following types of plate rich plasma (PRP) preparations are currently available in the market:
- Leukocyte-poor or pure PRP
- Leukocyte PRP
- Pure platelet-rich fibrin clot
- Leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin clot
In spite of non-regulatory approval, PRP has been widely used in sports medicine. Although not clinical proven, it is believed that high concentration of growth factors in PRP boosts bone and soft-tissue repair. Therapeutic applications of PRP include chronic tendon injuries, ligament and muscle injuries, tissue healing in chronic injuries, and arthritis. PRP is also emerging as a popular treatment alternative for hair loss treatment. Various studies have reported success of PRP in restoring hair growth. Currently, PRP therapeutic applications in bone regeneration and sports medicine generate maximum revenue. Veterinary application of PRP is also gaining traction, boosting future market growth. With promising results on Equine, the therapy is now been applied to canine.
