Market Driver:

Increase In The Number of Orthopedic Surgeries

The rise in orthopedic surgeries is majorly driven by the surgeries done for the replacements of knee and hip. Surgeries are also done for the amputations of limbs due to the damages and injuries caused by accidents or various diseases. The number of surgeries for amputation is observed for patients suffering from diabetes who have developed gangrene. For instance, according to the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, ~ 600,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed annually in the US.

Knee replacement surgeries are being performed on the geriatric population for their deteriorating joints. Knee replacement is among the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. The rise in the conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and osteoporosis are driving the number of surgeries. For instance, according to a report published in 2018 by Healthline Media, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects 41 in every 100,000 people per year, and near round 1.3 million Americans have RA. Likewise, data published by the Spondylitis Association of America states that in America, spondyloarthritis is found in approximately in 2.7million people, which is 1 in 100 population. Similarly, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, in 2018, osteoporosis is estimated to affect 200 million women across the world, among which near around one-tenth of women are above the age of 60, one-fifth of women aged more than 70, two-fifths of women aged above 80 and two-thirds of women aged more than 90.

Moreover, the number of surgeries is expected to rise to the musculoskeletal disorders associated with sports, occupational injuries, and age-related dysfunction. For instance, according to National Psoriasis Foundation, 2020, nearly 3% of the global population has psoriatic arthritis. Similarly, according to the Global RA Network, 2021, over 350 million people globally have arthritis. Therefore, according to the data and the figure, it is estimated that the demand for post-operative braces and supports is as the braces and supports are used to provide support and strength and help maintain the body's proper posture. Thus, owing to these factors, the rise in orthopedic surgeries is likely to drive the market for orthopedic braces and supports in the forecast period.
