Global Compartment Syndrome Treatment Market - 2024-2031

Overview

The global compartment syndrome treatment market reached US$ 316.8 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 516.6 million by 2031 growing with a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Compartment syndrome is a painful condition that occurs when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This pressure can decrease blood flow, which prevents nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells. Compartment syndrome can be either acute (having severe symptoms for a short period) or chronic (long-lasting).

Acute compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency. There is no effective nonsurgical treatment. An incision and cut open the skin and fascia covering the affected compartment. This procedure is called a fasciotomy.

Chronic compartment syndrome is a nonsurgical treatment. Physical therapy, orthotics (inserts for shoes), and anti-inflammatory medicines may be of limited benefit in relieving symptoms and generally do not allow a return to full activity.

Drugs used for comportment syndrome treatment involve opioids, non-opioids, and NSAIDs. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing incidence of traumatic injuries and technological advancements in treatment.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increasing incidence of traumatic injuries

The demand for the global compartment syndrome treatment market is driven by multiple factors. The increasing incidence of traumatic injuries is expected to drive the growth of the market. Traumatic injuries, such as road accidents, sports injuries, and combat injuries, are major causes of compartment syndrome.

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) most often develops soon after significant trauma, particularly involving long bone fractures. According to Medscape news in January 2023, the frequency of abdominal compartment syndrome in trauma ICU admissions is anywhere from 5 to 15% and 1% of general trauma admissions.

Moreover, major players in the industry's ongoing research studies would propel this market growth. According to an NCBI research publication in March 2024, during the period from 2015 to 2022, a total of 13,305 cases of traumatic compartment syndromes. Of these, 61% manifested in the lower extremities and 11% in the upper extremities. A significant portion of cases lacked precise localization classification (25.2%). Most traumatic compartment syndromes occurred in males (4092 cases in females vs. 9213 in males).

Similarly, as per EFFORT open reviews in December 2023, ACS in tibial fractures varies depending on the injury site, around 12% for tibial plateau fractures, reaching up to 53% in higher-energy patterns.

Restraints

Factors such as the high cost of treatment, the availability of limited treatment options, and limited awareness & diagnosis among individuals, are expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global compartment syndrome treatment market is segmented based on treatment type, syndrome type, end-users, and region.

The fasciotomy segment accounted for approximately 51.3% of the global compartment syndrome treatment market share

The fasciotomy segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. Fascia are the thick sheets of connective tissue that surround muscle compartments. Fasciotomy, a procedure in which the fascia is cut to relieve pressure in the muscle compartment, is used to treat people with acute or chronic compartment syndrome.

A fasciotomy consists of 1 or more fascial incisions and remains the only effective way to treat acute compartment syndrome. Fasciotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision in the skin and underlying tissue to relieve pressure on the affected nerve or muscle. According to Healio news in April 2024, Atraumatic idiopathic compartment syndrome requiring emergent fasciotomy.

Moreover, key players in the market technological advancements in fasciotomy drive the market growth. The development of advanced intracompartmental pressure monitoring devices enhances the accuracy and reliability of diagnosing compartment syndrome, guiding surgeons in determining the necessity and timing of fasciotomy.

As per NCBI publication in March 2024, an FDA-approved device was used for continuous compartment pressure monitoring. The sensor tip is placed in the muscle belly, and the trochar is then detached from the sensor, allowing the sensor to remain in place. Innovations in imaging technologies, such as portable ultrasound devices, aid in pre-operative planning and intraoperative assessment during fasciotomy procedures.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 43.8% of the global compartment syndrome treatment market share.

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period owing to the high incidence of trauma and sports-related injuries as per NCBI April 2024, the incidence of ACS is estimated to be 7.3 per 100,000 in males and 0.7 per 100,000 in females.

According to the National Safety Council in 2023, 3.7 million people were treated in emergency departments for injuries involving sports and recreational equipment. The activities most frequently associated with injuries are exercise, cycling, and basketball. Amongst American children and adolescents, sports and recreational activities contribute to the growth of the market.

Moreover, key player's innovative initiatives, growing awareness of the syndrome, advancements in medical technology, and increased focus on sports medicine propel this market growth in this region. For instance, in August 2023, Sentinel Medical Technologies addressed the IAP transducer shortage with the trauma ward. IAP monitoring is a critical component of patient care in OR and ICU settings. It serves as a crucial guide for medical teams in assessing the risk of developing Intra-Abdominal Hypertension (IAH) and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS), conditions that can have severe consequences if not addressed promptly.
