Orthopedic devices are medical devices that are used to treat and prevent musculoskeletal injuries and abnormalities. These devices aid in the replacement of missing or broken bones, as well as providing support for the fractured bone. They are frequently employed for anchoring fractured bones, and internal fixation surgery, which entails the placement of implants to cure broken bones. With accidents and sports injuries becoming more common, the number of orthopedic surgeries is increasing around the globe, which is hastening the adoption of orthopedic devices. In addition, technological advancements are increasing the demand for orthopedic equipment.
Additionally, the increasing frequency of orthopedic ailments, such as degenerative bone disease, as well as the growing aging population, and the rising number of road accidents are driving market expansion. As per a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), musculoskeletal problems affect 20-33% of persons across the globe. This will expand the market on account of the improved diagnostics that aid in the detection of osteoporosis fractures and early onset of musculoskeletal problems, which are mostly caused by a sedentary lifestyle and obesity. Moreover, the incorporation of advanced technology across medical devices has made it possible for healthcare specialists to observe patients on a micro-level with great efficiency. In recent times, industry players are working on the development of smart implants including smart spinal implants which are further expected to provide significant thrust to the market growth.
The increasing use of joint repair devices to augment the expansion
Orthopedic operations include joint reconstruction as a standard procedure. Osteoporosis, arthritis, and bone degenerative illnesses are among the most common ailments that cause joint damage. According to the orthopedic devices market trends, the market across the globe is expected to lead the joint reconstruction segment. The presence of a huge patient pool in need of knee, elbow, and shoulder replacement procedures, as well as increased investment in R&D by key market participants, are important growth levers for the joint reconstruction segment. The rise in minimally invasive and interbody fusion surgeries, as well as the increased use of synthetic cages and the addition of pedicle screws as fixation devices, are all contributing to the growth of the orthopedic devices market. Emerging players in the hip implants sub-segment are expected to benefit from advances in 3D printing and personalized implant technology. The market for joint reconstruction devices is expected to be driven by the rising frequency of orthopedic disorders and an aging population.
The price gap is strengthening the market for orthopedic devices in the Asian Countries
Elective surgeries are being prioritized as the global healthcare system recovers from the pressures of COVID-19. In the near future, this is projected to increase demand for orthopedic devices. The regional orthopedic devices market share in the Asia Pacific is likely to be driven by the significant incidences of orthopedic disorders, such as degenerative bone disease, as well as the growing aging population and the rising number of road accidents across the countries of the region. Moreover, increasing medical tourism industry in the region as well as an increase in per capita healthcare spending. Overseas patients are cited to be attracted to India because of the lower cost of orthopedic operations. According to the survey, India has a 20% lower cost of healthcare than the US, while Thailand has a 30% lower cost.
The market in North America is due to an increase in the number of individuals who require orthopedic surgery and is expected to grow at a steady pace owing to a range of third-party payers such as governments, local dealers, and private health insurance organizations. As a result, the need for technologically advanced orthopedic devices has increased, compelling major market players to set up shop in the region. The growth of the market for joint reconstruction orthopedic devices in Europe is cited to rise owing to a growing preference for minimally invasive treatments and an increase in the number of joint reconstruction surgeries. In addition, in Europe, easy access to minimally invasive operations has aided in expanding the area of demand for joint reconstruction devices.
