Tendon Repair Market Report 2025

The tendon repair market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.36 billion in 2024 to $2.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of minimally invasive procedures, rising demand for sports medicine and rehabilitation services, growing healthcare spending, a higher incidence of trauma and accident cases, and the expanding use of regenerative medicine.

The tendon repair market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the rising incidence of sports-related injuries, an increasing geriatric population, growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, a higher number of orthopedic surgeries, and heightened awareness of early treatment options. Key trends during this period include advancements in bioengineered tissue implants, technology-driven minimally invasive surgical methods, progress in regenerative medicine, the integration of robotics in orthopedic surgery, and improvements in suture anchor systems.

The rising number of sports-related injuries is expected to drive growth in the tendon repair market in the coming years. Sports injuries refer to physical harm sustained during sports or exercise, often affecting muscles, bones, joints, or connective tissues. This increase is mainly due to greater participation in high-intensity and competitive sports, which raises the likelihood of trauma and overuse injuries. Tendon repair plays an important role in treating these injuries by restoring damaged or torn tendons, promoting effective healing, reducing pain, and improving mobility and strength to help individuals return to physical activity. For example, a report from July 2024 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare showed that in 2022, 26% of participants in outdoor team sports experienced injuries, followed by 16% in combat sports, with indoor team, motor, and horse sports each reporting injury rates near 15%. Thus, the growing incidence of sports injuries is fueling the tendon repair market.

Increasing healthcare expenditure is expected to boost the tendon repair market’s growth. Healthcare expenditure includes the total spending on medical services, products, and public health by individuals, governments, and organizations within a country. Rising healthcare costs are driven by growing demand for medical care due to improved awareness and better access to healthcare facilities. Tendon repair can help lower overall healthcare costs by preventing complications and chronic disabilities, reducing the need for prolonged rehabilitation, multiple surgeries, or ongoing medication. For instance, provisional data from May 2023 by the UK’s Office for National Statistics indicated that healthcare expenditure in the UK reached approximately $386 billion (£283 billion) in 2022, marking a 0.7% increase from 2021. Therefore, rising healthcare expenditure is contributing to the growth of the tendon repair market.

Leading companies in the tendon repair market are developing advanced technologies like bioengineered tissue implants to improve healing, speed up recovery, and strengthen repaired tendons. Bioengineered tissue implants are lab-created biological constructs made from natural or synthetic materials that mimic the structure and function of native tissues, supporting the repair or regeneration of damaged tendons. For example, in July 2023, Smith+Nephew Plc, a UK healthcare firm, introduced the regeneten bioinductive implant in India to aid natural tendon healing and assist rotator cuff repair. This minimally invasive collagen-based implant encourages new tendon tissue growth, leading to faster recovery, significant pain relief, and a reduced risk of further tendon degeneration or re-tearing. Benefits include shortened rehabilitation, quicker return to activity, and a strong safety profile with minimal adverse effects.

The countries covered in the tendon repair market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

The tendon repair market consists of sales of hemostatic agents, tissue sealants and adhesives, and tendon gliding devices. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

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).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

Tendon repair involves surgical or non-surgical methods aimed at restoring the structure and function of a damaged or torn tendon. Tendons, which are fibrous connective tissues linking muscles to bones, may require repair due to injuries from trauma, overuse, or degenerative conditions to restore proper movement and strength in the affected area.

The primary product categories for tendon repair include implants, suture anchor devices, grafts, scaffolds, screws, tendon repair matrices, excision, and others. Implants consist of artificial materials or devices implanted into the body to support or replace damaged tendon structures. These are commonly utilized in procedures such as rotator cuff repair, Achilles tendinosis repair, cruciate ligament repair, biceps tenodesis, among others, with these surgeries mainly conducted in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), specialty orthopedic clinics, and sports medicine centers.
