The Global Knee Braces Market was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2034.
The market growth is driven by the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis and other orthopedic conditions, the increasing number of road accidents and sports-related injuries, and the expanding elderly population prone to knee ailments. Knee braces are revolutionizing orthopedic care by providing targeted support, enhancing joint stability, preventing injuries, and aiding post-surgical rehabilitation. These devices enable faster recovery, improve mobility, and optimize treatment protocols. The surge in knee injuries and degenerative conditions, fueled by aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, and growing participation in high-impact sports, is creating sustained demand for non-invasive solutions. Knee braces offer a cost-effective alternative to surgical interventions while supporting long-term joint health and functional mobility.
The functional knee braces segment held a 41.1% share in 2024. Their widespread use in managing ligament injuries, providing post-surgical support, and preventing re-injury among athletes has driven this leadership. Increasing awareness of injury prevention, ergonomic designs, and lightweight materials has further accelerated adoption across hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and retail channels. Functional braces are preferred for both acute and chronic conditions, offering versatile applications in clinical and sports settings.
The ligament segment generated USD 351 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a 5.4% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. This expansion is supported by rising cases of ligament injuries, including ACL and MCL tears, increased participation in high-impact sports, and greater adoption of functional braces for rehabilitation. Improved designs with adjustable hinges, advanced stabilization technology, and lightweight materials have further fueled demand.
U.S. Knee Braces Market was valued at USD 397.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2034. Growing interest in preventive sports care, the rise of outpatient orthopedic procedures, and strong distribution networks across hospitals, clinics, and retail channels are supporting market growth. Increased awareness and robust healthcare infrastructure ensure North America remains a key market during the forecast period.
