Genu Recurvatum Global Market Report 2024

The genu recurvatum market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.12 billion in 2023 to $7.57 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth observed in the historic period can be credited to factors such as the increased prevalence of orthopedic conditions, the aging demographic, incidents of trauma and accidents, as well as limited awareness and early diagnosis.

The genu recurvatum market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.71 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be linked to increasing awareness and educational efforts, advancements in diverse treatment options, emphasis on sports injury prevention and effective management, and the development of improved rehabilitation programs. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period involve the integration of digital health technologies, enhanced collaboration between orthopedic specialists and physical therapists, research focusing on biomechanics and musculoskeletal health, attention to pediatric and adolescent cases, and an increased emphasis on rehabilitation and strength training.

The increasing prevalence of orthopedic disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the genu recurvatum market. Orthopedic disorders encompass various conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, leading to complications in bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Genu recurvatum, a condition causing knee pain and contributing to knee osteoarthritis, is among the orthopedic disorders requiring treatment. Notably, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion reported an expected rise in arthritis cases, with 78.4 million adults projected to have arthritis by 2040. In 2022, more than 22% of the adult American population, totaling 52.5 million individuals, already had arthritis. Additionally, Versus Arthritis noted 20,295,706 people with musculoskeletal conditions in the UK in 2021. The increasing prevalence of orthopedic disorders underscores the demand for genu recurvatum treatment, fueling market growth.

The growth of the genu recurvatum market is expected to be propelled by the rising aging population. This demographic shift involves an increasing proportion of elderly individuals within society. The treatment of genu recurvatum in the aging population aims to address underlying causes and improve functional outcomes. According to the World Health Organization's projections in October 2022, it is expected that by 2030, one out of every six individuals globally will be 60 years old or older. The proportion of the population aged 60 and over is anticipated to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030. Furthermore, by 2050, the global population of individuals aged 60 and older is predicted to double, reaching 2.1 billion. This demographic shift toward an older population contributes to the growth of the genu recurvatum market.

Technological advancements emerge as a significant trend in the genu recurvatum market, with major companies focusing on developing advanced products to maintain their market positions. In November 2022, Ortho Development Corporation, a US-based orthopedic device design and manufacturing company, introduced BKS Total PSI in collaboration with Materialize NV, a Belgium-based company specializing in 3D printing and additive manufacturing. BKS Total PSI, driven by Materialize, enhances total knee arthroplasty predictability and control through patient-specific virtual visualization, preoperative planning, and precise 3D-printed guidance.

Companies in the genu recurvatum market are channeling their efforts into the development of innovative solutions such as microprocessor prosthetic knees. A microprocessor prosthetic knee integrates microprocessor technology into artificial knee joints, improving the functionality and performance of prosthetic limbs. In September 2022, Össur, an Iceland-based non-invasive orthopedic equipment manufacturing company, launched the 'POWER KNEE,' touted as the world's first actively powered microprocessor prosthetic knee for individuals with knee amputation or limb differences. This groundbreaking bionic technology incorporates a motor-powered 'smart' prosthesis equipped with advanced algorithms. It can detect human movement patterns, learn from them, and dynamically adjust to the wearer's speed and cadence in real-time.

In April 2023, NuVasive, Inc., a US-based medical device company, completed a merger with Globus Medical, Inc. This strategic union brought together two esteemed technological entities within the Musculoskeletal sector. The merger aimed to enhance innovation, broaden global medical and commercial outreach, and bolster support for a larger patient base. Globus Medical Inc., a US-based firm, specializes in developing, manufacturing, and distributing musculoskeletal device solutions, including revision knee replacements.
