Middle East and Africa OTC Braces And Support Market Analysis and Opportunities by 2028

The Middle East and Africa OTC braces and support market is expected to reach US$ 136.58 million by 2028 from US$ 99.70 million in 2021; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028.

The growth of the OTC braces and support market is attributed to increasing awareness of braces and support, and rising demand for OTC braces and supports across the world. However, the availability of alternative therapies is restraining the growth of market. Braces are prominently used in developed and upper middle-income countries. Foundations such as the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) help create awareness regarding the use of orthopedic braces and supports. It is a non-government organization that aims to improve the quality-of-life of people with limb amputations or those with physical damages and injuries to limbs and spine by making them aware about the benefits of prosthetics and orthotics. The ISPO provides an effective platform to exchange and communicate all the aspects of science. The organization practices and educates the associates regarding the provision of prosthetic and orthotic care, rehabilitation engineering, and related areas. Therefore, the increasing awareness about orthopedic braces and supports is contributing to the market growth. Also, the trend of better-quality OTC braces and supports is likely to grow dramatically due to increasing popularity of e-commerce platforms. Moreover, innovative products, revolutionary technology, and successful events have created opportunities for the companies to continue the production of orthopedic braces and supports. Thus, they are likely to add value to their customers and increase customer base for their products in the coming years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become the most significant challenge in the Middle East. Many countries in the region have less developed and underfunded health systems, e.g., Peru has less than 1,000 intensive care unit beds for its 32 million inhabitants. A lack of ICU beds and ventilators is common across the region. Apart from this, a huge population face a growing burden of non-communicable diseases, making them more vulnerable to the virus. The OTC orthopedic braces and supports market is impacted due to the pandemic, resulting in short-term negative growth due to factors such as a sharp decline in elective surgeries. Moreover, orthodontic clinics were temporarily closed, and hospital access was restricted for non-essential care. Thus, limited access to clinics, social distancing, and lockdown resulted in less trauma and workplace injuries, and slow-down in patient flow.
