Major trends in the forecast period include growth of biologic graft usage, increased sports injury procedures, adoption of absorbable implants, expansion of outpatient surgeries, innovation in tissue scaffolds.

The rising incidence of sport-related injuries has driven the growth of the soft tissue repair market in the historic period. Sports injuries occur during participation in sports or physical exercise, with soft tissue injuries being the most common. Soft tissue refers to the tissues that attach, support, or surround other body structures and organs. For example, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australia-based government agency, in July 2025, rugby (including both league and union) recorded the highest sports injury hospitalization rate relative to participation in 2023-24, with approximately 1,400 hospitalizations per 100,000 participants. Thus, the increasing prevalence of sport-related injuries has fueled the growth of the soft tissue repair market.

Key players in the soft tissue repair market are concentrating on strategic partnerships to expand their product portfolios. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in August 2023, 3D Systems, a US-based provider of comprehensive products and services including 3D printers, print materials, software, on-demand manufacturing, and healthcare solutions, partnered with Theradaptive to advance orthopedic and soft tissue repair through innovative regenerative therapeutics. Under this agreement, 3D Systems’ 3D-printed medical devices will be coated with Theradaptive’s protein-based material-binding variants to promote bone and tissue regeneration. Theradaptive is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing therapies that restore quality of life.

In June 2024, Stryker Corporation, a US-based medical technologies company, acquired Artelon for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Stryker Corporation to enhance its product offerings and strengthen its position in the medical technology market. Artelon is a US-based medical technology firm specializing in innovative solutions for tissue repair and regeneration in orthopedics and sports medicine.
