Orthopedic Implants - Market Insights, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast - 2027

The market is estimated to register growth at a remarkable CAGR forecast during 2022-2027 owing to increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases and rising demand for personalized orthopedic implants.

The global orthopedic implants market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.46% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027. The orthopedic implants market is slated to witness prosperity owing to factors such as the increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and others, a growing burden of the geriatric population, the rising number of road accidents associated and other injuries, and the growing focus on improving the safety, affordability, and usability of orthopedic implants for people are further expected to result in the appreciable revenue growth in the orthopedic implants market during the forecast period (2022-2027).

Orthopedic Implants Market Dynamics:

According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, musculoskeletal conditions are the leading contributor to disability, and worldwide around 1.71 billion people are suffering from musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and others.

Osteoarthritis also known as degenerative or wear-and-tear arthritis affects the joints and with time leads to the wearing off of smooth cartilage from the surface of bones. This causes patients to face inflammation, swelling, and pain in joints affecting the overall movement of a person. In severe cases, patients have to undergo orthopedic implant surgery.

According to World Health Organization 2022, worldwide around 528 million people suffered from osteoarthritis in 2019. As per the same source, worldwide 18 million people had rheumatoid arthritis in 2019.

Also, according to the above-mentioned source osteoarthritis contributed to 19 million years lived with disability (YLDs), while rheumatoid arthritis contributed to 2.4 million YLDs globally in 2019.

The rise in road traffic accidents is another major factor driving the growth of the orthopedic implants market. Light and fatal injuries owing to sudden road accidents lead to disability sometimes and increase the need for orthopedic implants, positively impacting the growth of the orthopedic implants market. According to WHO 2022, approximately 1.3 million people die each year because of road traffic accidents and around 20-50 million individuals suffer from non-fatal injuries or some sort of disability.

However, the high cost of the procedure coupled with the need to undergo revision surgery and stringent regulatory approval for orthopedic implants may act as a restraint in the market growth for orthopedic implants.

The COVID-19 pandemic has slightly impacted the market for orthopedic implants. The outbreak of the pandemic led to the cancellation of outpatient visits and the suspension of non-emergency hospitals and procedures. This resulted in a reduced number of orthopedic examinations and procedures. As per Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) statistics (2021), a nearly 20% drop in hip replacements was observed in 2020 in Ireland and Italy, and a more than 10% drop in Norway and the Czech Republic compared to 2019. Also, the manufacturing, import, export, and other related activities of orthopedic implants were hampered during the period of COVID- 19 pandemic. However, the vaccine development of COVID-19 has initiated the process of economic recovery with the easing of lockdown restrictions and the return of normalcy in the economic landscape which has initiated the process of resumption of regular healthcare services such as outpatients visits, thereby bringing the demand for products on track in the orthopedic implants market.

Orthopedic Implants Market Segment Analysis:

Orthopedic Implants Market by Product Type (Hip Implants, Knee Implants, Spinal Implants, Foot and Ankle Implants, and Others), End-User (Hospitals, Orthopedic Clinics, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

Based on the product type segment of orthopedic implants, the knee implants category is projected to register a significant growth in revenue in the overall orthopedic implants market during the forecast period (2022-2027).

Knee implants tend to reduce the pain due to any bone disease or injury and provide adequate relief to the patient over non-operative treatments such as knee injections, anti-inflammatory medications, and others.

Post-knee implantation patients witness improvements in pain, mobility, and quality of life. They can return to doing day-to-day tasks without much hindrance.

As per Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) statistics for 2021, about 260 knee replacement surgeries in Switzerland, 227 in Germany, 211 in Australia, 153 in Korea, and 142 in the United Kingdom, per 100,000 population were performed in 2019. As per the same source, the average for knee replacement surgery was 137 per 100,000 population in 2019. The newer technological advancements in implant material, design, and surgical technique have facilitated in increasing the longevity of knee implants by about 10-15 years.

Thereby, considering the growing demand for this product type, numerous new products are being developed and launched in the market. For example, in November 2022, Exactech, a developer and producer of innovative implants, instrumentation, and smart technologies for joint replacement surgery, obtained 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration to market the TriVerse™ primary knee system.

Therefore, considering the advantages associated with knee implants and their growing popularity, this product category is expected to generate considerable revenue thereby pushing the overall growth of the global orthopedic implants market during the forecast period.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Orthopedic Implants Market:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to lead in revenue generation in the global orthopedic implants market. This can be due to factors including the prevalence of chronic bone diseases, the increasing old age population, and the presence of key companies involved in the production of orthopedic implants, high-tech medical facilities, and others.

One of the prominent factors supporting the growth of the North America orthopedic implants market is the prevalence of chronic bone diseases leading to disability, majorly in the United States. The rising prevalence of arthritis in the US is the major factor responsible for the growth of the orthopedic implants market in the region. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2021, it has been estimated that there will be around 78.4 million people suffering from doctor-diagnosed arthritis by 2040, and out of that two-thirds will be the women population.

As per the same source, an estimated 34.6 million adults will face arthritis-attributable activity limitations in the US by 2040. As per Arthritis Foundation 2021, around 1.5 million people have rheumatoid arthritis in the United States.

The increasing age makes one susceptible to several health issues including bone diseases, and others, and thus is another driver for the growth of the orthopedic implants market. According to CDC 2022, around 54.1 million US adults were aged 65 or older in 2019. As per the same source, it has been estimated that by 2060, this number will reach up to 94.7 million in the US. Along with the presence of a large patient pool in the country, the increasing focus of manufacturers on launching new products in the market is expected to bolster the growth of the orthopedic implants market in the United States during the forecast period.

For example, in February 2020, In2Bones Global, Inc. received the US Food and Drug Administration clearance to market the Quantum™ Total Ankle Replacement System. Therefore, the above-mentioned factors are expected to bolster the growth of the orthopedic implants market in the United States during the forecast period.
