Knee Replacement Market - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2019

Knee replacement, also called knee arthroplasty or total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap. This surgery may be considered for someone who has severe arthritis or a severe knee injury. The goal of knee replacement surgery is to resurface the parts of the knee joint that have been damaged and to relieve knee pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.

Various types of arthritis may affect the knee joint. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that affects mostly middle-aged and older adults, may cause the breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent bone in the knees. Rheumatoid arthritis, which causes inflammation of the synovial membrane and results in excessive synovial fluid, can lead to pain and stiffness. Traumatic arthritis, arthritis due to injury, may cause damage to the cartilage of the knee.

Market Dynamics

Approval and launch of new knee replacement devices is expected to propel growth of the global knee replacement market during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2019, Fuse Medical Inc., an emerging manufacturer and distributor of innovative medical devices for the orthopedic and spine marketplace, announced the launch of Sterizo Total Knee Replacement System, the latest addition to a comprehensive line of orthopedic product offerings. The Sterizo Total Knee System is a next-generation technology platform based on proven and accepted design principles in the orthopedic total knee arthroplasty marketplace. Its high flexion engineered, multi radius design delivers exceptional range of motion. The Sterizo Total Knee System offers full range of sizes as well as multiple stabilization options, including, Cruciate Retained, Ultra Congruent Anterior Stabilized, and Posterior Stabilized.

However, high cost of knee replacement surgery is expected to limit the market growth. For instance, the cost of various knee replacement surgeries such as total knee replacement surgery, partial knee replacement surgery, bilateral knee replacement surgery, minimal invasive knee replacement surgery, and revision knee replacement surgery are US$ 50,000, US$ 45,000, US$ 45,000, US$ 22,000, and US$ 20,000, respectively, in the U.S. Therefore, such expensive surgery procedures are expected to hinder the knee replacement market growth, as patients often opt out of the surgery and go for the alternatives such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, and other physical exercises.
