Rising Prevalence of Sports Injuries to Drive Global Soft Tissue Repair Market Growth

There has been an increase in the number of soft tissue injuries among children, adults, and geriatric population. Soft tissue injuries are also common among sportsmen and athletes, which may require immediate treatment. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that there is an increase in the number of adults and teenagers participating in sports. As per The Johns Hopkins University, sports injuries are common among adults and children engaged in various sports activities such as football, basket, soccer, ice hockey, and other games as well as athletics. Sprains and strains, knee injuries, tendon injuries, fractures, dislocations, and rotator cuff injuries are some of the common sports injuries.

The prevalence of sports injuries is rising due to the increasing number of adults participating in sports. Government organizations carry out surveys to determine the number of common sports injuries in a particular area that needs to be addressed. As per the data by The National Safety Council, children aged 5-14 years account for 50% of all football injuries, 45% of soccer injuries, and 44% of baseball injuries. Football caused the most injuries, with ~455,449 cases yearly in 2018-19. Of all the knee injuries experienced due to football, the most common is a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Soccer caused ~412,607 injuries (in both male and female players) in the same year; an estimated 22% of these injuries are concussions. In 2021, nearly 57,600 sports-related injuries were concussions. Additionally, about 3.2 million people were treated in emergency departments for injuries involving sports and recreational equipment in 2021.

Contact sports such as basketball and football possess a higher rate of sports injuries as these sports involve contact and collision, leading to severe injuries to joints, bones, tendons, and other soft tissues. Such injuries require emergency treatment or even a surgical procedure. As per ValuePenguin research data, more than 4.4 million basketball-related injuries were treated at emergency departments in 2021. Following that, football was the second most common sport leading to injury and caused 3.3 million injuries, accounting for 20% of all sports-related injuries. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, an estimated. 2,00,000 ACL injuries are reported annually in the US, with around 1,00,000 ACL reconstructions performed yearly. Thus, the number of sports-related soft tissue injuries is increasing, which in turn drives the growth of the soft tissue repair market.

Segmental Analysis

Based on product, the soft tissue repair market is segmented into fixation instruments and tissue mesh/patch. In 2019, the fixation instruments segment held a larger share of the soft tissue repair market. Also, the same segment is estimated to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. During soft tissue repair, various fixation devices are used to fix the soft tissue to the surface of anatomical structures, such as the bone, which has more strength and stiffness than soft tissue. Suture, suture anchor, interference screw, and others are the major fixation device types used in various orthopedic procedures. These devices enable the physician to maintain tissue tension during surgical procedures. The fixation instruments segment is sub-segmented into suture anchors, interference screws, sutures, and others. The sutures anchors segment held the largest share of the market in 2019 and is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Sutures anchors are used for soft tissue fixation, especially during arthroscopic and hernia repair surgery. Newly available and technologically advanced anchors are now used for repairing and optimizing musculoskeletal tissues such as the hip, knee, hand, elbow, foot, and ankle. Suture anchors help in soft tissue-to-bone healing as direct soft tissue-to-soft-tissue repair is not possible due to the inadequate amount of soft tissue on the bone. In addition, various sutures anchors in the soft tissue repair market offer strong and improved fixation. A knotless suture anchor helps to secure soft tissue to a rigid structure such as bone. The inner member of the anchor receives suture thread and rotates within an outer tubular member. Due to the rotation of the inner membrane of the anchor, the suture thread is wrapped onto the inner member. The outer tubular membrane applies pressure on the thread attached to retain the thread's position on the inner membrane, thereby enabling suturing of the tissue.
