The Global Cast Saw Devices Market reached US$ 198.20 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 291.25 Million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period 2025-2033.
A cast saw is a medical device used for safely and efficiently removing orthopedic casts made from materials like plaster of Paris and fiberglass. It operates with an oscillating blade that vibrates at high speeds, ensuring a precise and controlled cutting process. This technology minimizes patient discomfort and injury risk. Cast saws are widely used in hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers for fracture management and post-surgical care. Advanced models, including battery-operated and vacuum-assisted versions, have improved safety, reduced dust exposure, and enhanced mobility, making them essential in modern orthopedic practice.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increasing Incidence of Orthopedic Injuries
The global cast saw devices market is experiencing growth due to increasing orthopedic injuries and fractures, an aging population, and sports-related injuries. The demand for effective cast removal solutions has also increased. Hospitals and clinics handle a higher volume of patients requiring fracture management, leading to an increase in the adoption of cast saw devices, supporting market expansion.
For instance, each year, 2848 orthopaedic trauma cases were admitted, with 1595 male and 1253 female. The most common injuries were fall injuries (40.77%), followed by road traffic accidents (33.77%). Miscellaneous injuries included animal attacks and bites (14.53%). Lower limb fractures were the most common (47.22%), followed by upper limb fractures (32.44%). Miscellaneous trauma included cut and tendon injuries (10.35%).
High Cost of Advanced Cast Saw Devices
The high cost of advanced cast saw devices, including battery-operated and vacuum-assisted models, poses a significant barrier to market expansion in healthcare. These devices are less accessible to smaller facilities and clinics in developing regions, and the financial burden of maintenance, replacement parts, and accessories further limits their widespread adoption. In lower-income countries, prioritizing essential medical equipment slows market penetration.
The global Cast Saw Devices market is segmented based on, Saw Type, Application, End User and Region.
Electric Saw without Vacuum segment is expected to dominate the Cast Saw Devices market share
The electric saw without vacuum segment holds a major portion of the cast saw devices market share and is expected to continue to hold a significant portion of the cast saw devices market share during the forecast period.
Electric saws without vacuum are a popular choice in hospitals and clinics for cast removal due to their cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ease of use. They offer high precision and efficiency in cutting plaster and fiberglass casts, making them popular in orthopedic procedures. However, concerns over dust generation during cast removal may limit their adoption in environments with stringent infection control measures, pushing some institutions towards vacuum-assisted alternatives.
End User:-
Hospitals segment is the fastest-growing segment in Cast Saw Devices market share
The hospitals segment is the fastest-growing segment in the cast saw devices market share and is expected to hold the market share over the forecast period.
Hospitals are the primary end-users of the global cast saw devices market, relying on them for efficient and safe cast removal. With increasing fractures, sports injuries, and orthopedic surgeries, hospitals are investing in advanced cast saw technologies to enhance patient safety and operational efficiency. The presence of reimbursement systems in developed countries allows hospitals to adopt high-end medical equipment, driving market growth. However, cost constraints in lower-income regions may limit hospitals from using basic electric saw models, affecting market dynamics differently across geographies.
North America is expected to hold a significant position in the Cast Saw Devices market share
North America holds a substantial position in the Cast Saw Devices market and is expected to hold most of the market share fuelled by a robust healthcare system, increasing orthopedic procedures, and rising sports-related injuries. The region's high prevalence of osteoporosis and arthritis, especially among the aging population, drives demand for fracture treatments and cast removal solutions. Technological advancements, strong healthcare reimbursement policies, and the increasing use of battery-operated and vacuum-assisted cast saw devices in hospitals and specialty clinics further boost market growth.
For instance, in 2023, the US orthopedic market saw 18,577,953 procedures performed. The most performed procedures were orthopaedic bone cement and casting material procedures, with casting material procedures being the leading sub-segment. Bone grafts and substitutes procedures accounted for the highest share in the orthobiologic procedures market, which is expected to continue leading in the forecast period. The US Orthopedic Procedures market research report provides key procedure data and procedure volumes for different segments of orthopedic procedures conducted in the country during the historical and forecast period.
Europe is growing at the fastest pace in the Cast Saw Devices market
Europe holds the fastest pace in the Cast Saw Devices market and is expected to hold most of the market share is fuelled by increasing orthopedic surgeries, an aging population, and government support for healthcare. The region's focus on patient safety and infection control has led to increased adoption of vacuum-assisted cast saw devices. The presence of well-developed healthcare systems, high medical device regulations, and technological innovations contribute to market growth. Increased sports participation and injury rates in countries like Germany, France, and the UK further drive demand for efficient cast removal solutions.
For instance, in 2024, In Germany, 175,000 total hip arthroplasties (THA) and 148,000 total knee arthroplasties (TKA) are performed annually, causing risks, complications, and financial burden. 7% to 23% of THA patients and 10% to 34% of TKA patients report unfavourable long-term outcomes. Despite the high number of interventions, there is no evidence-based treatment standard in Germany, limiting the current care system's full potential, including the cost-benefit ratio. Minor advancements in treatment could improve clinical, patient-centered, and economic outcomes.
