Sports Medicine Devices Market Analysis

The growth of the sports medicine devices market is estimated to grow owing to key driving factors such as increasing incidences of sports injuries and rising demand for minimally invasive methods. Furthermore, rising technological advancements in sports medicine devices will likely offer opportunities to the sports medicine devices market in the coming years.

Sports Medicine Devices Market Overview

Contributors to the increase in sports injuries are professional athletes, weekend athletes, young people, children playing in clubs, and sometimes adults. Most sports injuries are orthopedic injuries, including sprains, strains, fractures, broken ligaments, pain, and swelling. These injuries are roughly divided into acute and chronic. According to Stanford Children's Health, approximately 30 million youth and children in the US play sports annually, and more than 3.5 million sports-related injuries are reported each year. According to the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers, an estimated 2 million acute ankle injuries occur in the US. The incidence of ligament tears and fractures is high in athletes. The incidence of sports injuries increases due to increasing participation in sports and active participation in fitness activities due to the growing focus on healthy living worldwide. Therefore, the demand for sports medicine devices is increasing due to the rising number of sports injuries worldwide.

Sports Medicine Devices Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Demand for Minimally Invasive Methods

Sports injuries are usually minor, but orthopedists try to avoid surgical interventions in the case of more significant injuries. Minor injuries can generally be treated with minimally invasive methods such as physiotherapy, orthotics, acupuncture, arthroscopic surgery, and sports medicine. Professional athletes risk their lives for excellence in their respective sports, which often leads to many sports injuries, sometimes even permanent injuries at the end of a career. Newer and minimally invasive surgical techniques for dealing with sports injuries also shorten the time it takes for players to return to sports. These treatments are less invasive than surgery and generally require a shorter recovery period. These minimally invasive methods are inexpensive. The introduction of novel implants and prostheses and the development of performance monitoring devices are creating numerous opportunities in the market. Among the procedures popular today, arthroscopy has become a major elective procedure. Frost & Sullivan estimates that approximately 180,000 to 200,000 arthroscopic procedures are performed in India.

Rising Technological Advancements in Sports Medicine

Medical technologies play a role in many aspects of an athlete's routine, from predicting and preventing sports-related injuries to monitoring fitness and enhancing recovery after a training session or competitive outing. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and a host of other technological breakthroughs over the same period is leading to the introduction of innovations to optimize performance, maintain fitness, and extend athletes' careers. Further, new technologies and applications are also showing the potential to provide athletes and their coaches with even more valuable biometric data, including heart rate, metabolism, workload, and core temperature, which, in turn, can be used to detect fatigue and predict its likelihood of future injury. Additionally, the increasing use of wearable devices such as resistance bands and other sensory aids to monitor stress levels and prevent fatigue-related injuries among athletes is fueling the growth of the sports medicine devices market. For example, Athletigen Technology, Inc., a performance-driven company in Nova Scotia, works with various athletes to use the information they gather about their DNA to improve their performance and health while reducing the incidence of sports-related injuries. Such cases are expected to spur market growth over the forecast period, thereby providing numerous opportunities in the market.
