Orthopedics, with a market share of over 10% is one of the single largest segments in the medical device sector. Unique revolutionary treatments are all set to alter the specifics of medical orthopedics industry. Important developments in the medical device area, specifically in the orthopedic segment, have created ample opportunities to expand and intensify market competition and growth. With increase in average life expectancy rates, number of joint replacement procedures has reported significant growth. Sports-related injuries in the younger generation, and growing popularity of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are fuelling the demand for joint replacement surgeries. Companies across the world are focusing on the development of advanced materials and technologies in the field of orthopedic implants, to address the emerging requirements of aging population and active youth.
United States and Europe collectively account for more than 70% share of worldwide Orthopedics Instrumentation market (http://www.strategyr.com/Orthopedic_Instrumentation_Market_Report.asp), as stated in a recent report published
by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Demographic factors play a major role in determining the growth prospects of orthopedics industry in the United States and Europe. Rapidly expanding
economies, improving public healthcare services, and rising life expectancy, and relatively under-served markets of developing countries such as Asia, and Latin America, are expected to
offer substantial growth prospects for orthopedic companies. In particular, markets such as India, China, and Mexico with large population base are expected to become major revenue
generators for the industry. Driven by favorable demographic profile, the market for reconstructive products (http://www.strategyr.com/Orthopedic_Instrumentation_Market_Report.asp) in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to reach
US$1.5 billion by the year 2010.
Rising incidence of spine-related injuries and disorders in the younger population is adding to the number of spinal implant procedures being performed annually. Product design
innovations, increase in clinical evidence of advantages, and a rise in the number of surgeons trained to use the devices are among the major factors contributing to the expanding demand
for spinal implants. In the US, Spinal products market (http://www.strategyr.com/Orthopedic_Instrumentation_Market_Report.asp) is projected to reach US$4.9 billion by
2010.
Demographics and advent of new technologies are key growth drivers for the hip and knee replacements market in Europe. Aging European population faces enhanced risk of musculoskeletal
problems, in particular osteoarthritis. The Hip Implants market (http://www.strategyr.com/Orthopedic_Instrumentation_Market_Report.asp) in Europe is estimated at US$1.1 billion
for 2008. Driven by the rising prevalence of fracture-related injuries and deteriorating joint conditions, the market for fracture fixation products (http://www.strategyr.com/Orthopedic_Instrumentation_Market_Report.asp) is projected to exceed the US$655
million by 2012. Technological advancements and increasing application of minimally invasive surgical repair procedures are also aiding the expansion of fracture fixation segment.
