Orthopedic Market Report 2025

The orthopedic market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $44.8 billion in 2024 to $47.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the expanding aging population, a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, an increase in sports- and accident-related injuries, and greater adoption of advanced orthopedic implants.

The orthopedic market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of robotic-assisted surgeries, greater emphasis on outpatient orthopedic procedures, rising investments in orthopedic research and development, expanded use of bioresorbable implants, and improved healthcare access in emerging markets. Key trends during this period include advancements in 3D printing for orthopedic implants, innovations in smart implant technologies, integration of AI in surgical planning, development of personalized orthopedic solutions, and progress in regenerative medicine and orthobiologics.

The increasing number of car accidents is expected to drive growth in the orthopedic market. Car accidents involve collisions between one or more vehicles that can cause damage, injury, or death. This rise is mainly due to greater vehicle congestion, which increases the chance of collisions and reduces safe maneuvering space. Orthopedic care is vital for treating injuries sustained in car accidents, such as fractures, dislocations, and spinal trauma, aiding patients in regaining mobility and function. For example, in May 2023, the Australian Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts reported 1,194 road crash fatalities in 2022, representing a 5.8% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the growth in car accidents is boosting the orthopedic market.

Key players in the orthopedic market are developing advanced products like curved intramedullary fixation systems to offer minimally invasive solutions for complex pelvic fractures and improve outcomes in patients with osteoporosis. A curved intramedullary fixation system is a surgical tool designed to repair fractures in bones with natural curves, providing better alignment, load distribution, and flexibility during surgery compared to traditional straight implants. For instance, in February 2023, CurvaFix, Inc., a US-based medical device firm, introduced the 7.5mm CurvaFix IM Implant. This device is a smaller-diameter, curved implant suited for patients with smaller bones and complex pelvic structures, particularly effective for treating fragility fractures of the pelvis in elderly and osteoporotic patients. It offers strong, stable fixation even in irregular bone pathways and supports early mobility, often within 24 hours after surgery.

In July 2024, Stryker Corporation, a US-based medical technology company, acquired Artelon Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enhances Stryker’s soft tissue fixation offerings, enabling it to better serve diverse customer needs. Artelon’s proprietary dynamic matrix bio-textile technology for orthopedic soft tissue reconstruction adds to Stryker’s portfolio and reinforces its dedication to improving patient outcomes. Artelon Inc. is a US-based firm specializing in orthopedic soft tissue reconstruction using this innovative bio-textile technology.

The orthopedic market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as hand and upper extremity services, foot and ankle care, arthritis care, and joint preservation. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The orthopedic market also includes sales of arthroscopy equipment, electrical stimulation devices, and physical therapy equipment. 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.

Orthopedics is the medical specialty dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It employs both surgical and non-surgical approaches to manage injuries, deformities, and diseases that affect mobility and function. The goal of orthopedic care is to restore movement, alleviate pain, and enhance patients’ overall quality of life.

The primary product categories in orthopedics include orthopedic implants, orthopedic instruments, braces and supports, and orthopedic devices. Orthopedic implants are medical devices surgically implanted in or on bones to replace, support, or improve damaged skeletal structures. Procedures involving these implants include open surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and arthroscopic surgery, with materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Key applications cover hip, knee, spine, craniomaxillofacial, dental, sports injuries, extremities, and trauma (SET) orthopedic devices. These products serve various end users, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, orthopedic clinics, and rehabilitation centers.
