The knee implants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.09 billion in 2025 to $12.85 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis, rising aging population, growth in orthopedic surgical volumes, availability of advanced implant materials, expansion of orthopedic specialty centers.
The knee implants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for revision knee replacement procedures, rising adoption of robotic and computer-assisted surgery, expansion of outpatient orthopedic surgeries, technological advancements in implant design, growing focus on faster patient recovery and mobility. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of patient-specific knee implants, rising use of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, growing demand for durable and long-lasting implant materials, expansion of minimally invasive knee procedures, enhanced focus on post-surgical mobility outcomes.
The increasing geriatric population is anticipated to drive the growth of the knee implant market in the coming years. The term "geriatric population" refers to the demographic segment consisting of elderly individuals, typically those aged 65 and older. As people age, the demand for knee implants rises significantly due to the higher incidence of osteoarthritis and age-related degenerative changes in the knee joints. For example, in January 2024, the Population Reference Bureau, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization focused on collecting and providing statistics, projected that the number of Americans aged 65 and older will increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, representing a 47% increase. Thus, the growing geriatric population is a key factor driving the knee implant market.
Major companies operating in the knee implant market are emphasizing innovative solutions to more effectively address the evolving needs of their existing patient base. Mako Total Knee 2 is an advanced knee replacement solution that integrates Stryker Corporation’s advanced robotic capabilities with the clinically proven Triathlon Total Knee System. For example, in March 2023, Stryker Corporation, a United States-based medical technology company, introduced Mako Total Knee 2.0. The system incorporates a refreshed visual design, a flexible and customizable workflow, and several key enhancements, including a novel electronic tensioner that enables surgeons to evaluate knee stability intraoperatively during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without requiring additional instruments. Leveraging its three core elements, three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT)-based planning, AccuStop haptic technology, and advanced data analytics, Mako Total Knee 2 builds on the established success of Mako SmartRobotics, which has shown improved patient outcomes in total knee, total hip, and partial knee procedures compared with conventional manual surgical approaches.
In March 2024, Stryker Corporation, a United States-based medical technology company, completed the acquisition of SERF SAS for an undisclosed consideration. Through this transaction, Stryker sought to reinforce its global orthopaedic joint replacement portfolio, with a particular focus on expanding its presence in Europe by enhancing and diversifying its implant product offerings. SERF SAS is a France-based healthcare technology and orthopaedic manufacturing company recognized for the design, production, and commercialization of large-joint replacement implants, particularly for hip and knee applications, including its pioneering Dual Mobility Cup.

Knee implants pertain to a category of knee replacement surgery aimed at replacing specific damaged or worn-out elements of the knee joint. This surgical intervention aims to enhance knee functionality and alleviate pain. Knee implants are prosthetics designed to replicate the movements and functionality of a healthy human knee.
The primary types of knee implant products include total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and revision knee replacement. These procedures involve the use of various components, including fixed-bearing implants and mobile-bearing implants. Total knee replacement (TKR) is a standard orthopedic procedure wherein smooth metal and highly cross-linked polyethylene plastic are employed to replace the articular surfaces (femoral condyles and tibial plateau) of the knee joint. The materials utilized encompass stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, titanium alloys, polyethylene, ceramics, and others. Multiple fixation types, such as cemented, cementless, and hybrid, are utilized, and the end users include hospitals and orthopedic clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, among others.
The knee implants market includes revenues earned by entities by knee replacement, double knee replacement, knee resurfacing, osteotomy knee surgery, and other related treatments or services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
