Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increase in geriatric population

The demand for the global orthopedic appliances market is driven by multiple factors. The increase in the geriatric population propels the market growth.

Furthermore, the demand for treatment will be fueled by the increasing number of injuries due to accidents and the increase in technological advancements. For instance, according to WHO, by 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. At this time the share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million.

In 2050, 80% of older people will be living in low- and middle-income countries. In 2020, the number of people aged 60 years and older outnumbered children younger than 5 years. Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. By 2050, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 years will live in low- and middle-income countries.

Restraints

Factors such as high costs associated with appliances, and stringent regulatory requirements for the approval of new treatments are expected to hamper the market.

Market Segment Analysis

The global orthopedic appliances market is segmented based on appliance type, material used, end-user, and region.

The knee bracing and support systems segment accounted for approximately 42.1% of the global orthopedic appliances market share

The knee bracing and support systems segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. In this segment, the increasing number of knee injuries, and technological advancements would drive this market.

Knee injury accounts for 41% of all sports injuries. For instance, according to nih.gov, 228,344 knee injuries were diagnosed over the 20-year analysis period. Significantly rising annual incidences were observed for total knee injuries, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and knee contusions in males and females. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries and knee dislocations were also rising in females, but not males. Greater annual growth rates were observed for females compared to males for total knee injuries, knee contusions, PCL injuries, and knee dislocations. Demographic analysis revealed that the highest annual growth rate in injury incidence (10.4%) was observed for ACL injuries in females aged 5-14 years old.

Market Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 41.7% of the global orthopedic appliances market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The rising number of injuries, increase in geriatric population, and growing awareness among people, in this region, help to propel the market.

For an instance, according to prb.org, the number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050 (a 47% increase), and the 65-and-older age group's share of the total population is projected to rise from 17% to 23%. The number of Americans ages 65 and older will more than double over the next 40 years, reaching 80 million in 2040. The number of adults ages 85 and older, the group most often needing help with basic personal care, will nearly quadruple between 2000 and 2040. By 2040, about one in five Americans will be age 65 or older, up from about one in eight in 2000.

For an instance, in June 2024, McDavid launched the NRG knee brace line with a joint assistance hinge system. This hinge technology is a game-changing recovery solution by storing energy when flexed and rebounding with the body's natural movement, it reduces stress on knees by up to 25%.
