Rotator Cuff Injuries Global Market Report 2025

The rotator cuff injuries market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.41 billion in 2024 to $2.59 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. This historical growth has been supported by a surge in sports injuries, an aging global population, increased awareness of musculoskeletal health issues, the rising demand for efficient pain relief, and a broader scope of orthopedic surgeries.

The rotator cuff injuries market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. This anticipated growth is driven by the expanding elderly demographic, a higher frequency of outpatient orthopedic procedures, wider access to health insurance, a shift toward custom orthopedic implants, and an increase in physical fitness and sports participation. Prominent trends projected for this period include the growing use of robotic-assisted surgical techniques, customized treatment regimens, advancements in stem cell-based therapies, integration of AI for imaging diagnostics, blended rehabilitation models, and progress in bioresorbable implant technology.

The rising incidence of sports- and physical activity-related injuries is anticipated to drive the growth of the rotator cuff injuries market in the coming years. These injuries involve damage to muscles, bones, or soft tissues sustained during exercise or athletic activities and can vary from mild to severe. The increase in such injuries is primarily due to a surge in participation in intense workouts without proper training or recovery, heightening the risk of damage. Rotator cuff injuries frequently occur in sports or activities involving repetitive overhead motions, such as tennis, swimming, or weightlifting. These repeated actions place stress on the shoulder tendons, which can eventually lead to injury. For example, in October 2024, Insideworldfootball, a UK-based news-driven platform, reported 4,123 sports injuries during the 2023-24 season, representing a 4% increase compared to the 2022-23 season. This trend highlights how the growing number of sports- and activity-related injuries is contributing to the expansion of the rotator cuff injuries market.

Leading companies in the rotator cuff injuries market are increasingly focusing on the development of innovative solutions such as bio-integrative collagen implant-based systems to support tendon healing and enhance long-term functional recovery. These collagen-derived devices facilitate tissue regeneration by acting as scaffolds that integrate naturally with the body and dissolve over time without leaving permanent materials behind. For instance, in May 2022, Embody, Inc., a US-based company specializing in soft tissue healing, introduced the TAPESTRY RC system after receiving FDA 510(k) clearance for rotator cuff repair. This system, intended for arthroscopic procedures, features a bio-integrative collagen implant, a user-friendly delivery mechanism, and fully bioabsorbable fixation anchors. It is designed to support both the biological and mechanical aspects of tendon healing in rotator cuff surgeries.

In February 2023, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., a US-based medical technology firm, acquired Embody Inc. for approximately $280 million. The acquisition was aimed at expanding Zimmer Biomet’s sports medicine portfolio by incorporating Embody’s collagen-based implant technologies, including the TAPESTRY RC System for rotator cuff repair. With this strategic move, Zimmer Biomet seeks to provide advanced tendon and soft tissue healing solutions by leveraging Embody’s innovative collagen-based products.

Rotator cuff injuries involve damage to the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and enable arm movement. These injuries frequently result from sudden trauma, repetitive overhead motions, or degeneration due to aging. Treatment strategies aim to alleviate pain, restore shoulder mobility, and prevent recurring issues.

Rotator cuff injury treatments primarily include mono and combination products. Mono products, which contain a single active component, offer focused relief for specific symptoms of rotator cuff damage, supporting clear and effective therapeutic approaches. The various molecule types used are recombinant fusion proteins, small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, peptides, polymers, and gene therapies. These are delivered through multiple routes such as oral, intravenous, subcutaneous, parenteral, and topical administration. Key end-users encompass hospitals, orthopedic clinics, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), rehabilitation centers, and sports medicine facilities.
