The global South America arthroscopy procedures and products market is expected to reach US$ US$ 702.46 million in 2031 from US$ 445.94 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2031.
The growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and rising number of sports injuries requiring arthroscopy procedure are the key driving factors behind the market development. Furthermore, increased prevalence of obesity is driving the growth of the South America arthroscopic procedure and products market. However, cost intensive arthroscopic implants and surgeries are hampering the market growth.
Market Opportunities of South America Arthroscopy Procedures and Products Market
Obesity has a considerable effect on the musculoskeletal system, resulting in the degeneration of bones, cartilage, and ligaments. According to the study published by the Nature Research Publications, in 2022, in Brazil, epidemiological studies have also shown an increase in the prevalence of obesity in adults from 12.5% in 2002 to 25.9% in 2019. This massive prevalence of obesity is likely to accelerate due to unhealthy habits such as consumption of junk food, sedentary lifestyle, genetic conditions, and deprivation of mental health. Overweight conditions among players and athletes can lead to the increasing prevalence of sports injuries. For instance, according to a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2015, athletes with a BMI index of more than 30 kg/m2 are a highly susceptible to the sports injuries.
Obesity is a major risk factor for OA development and progression. Obesity is associated with OA, a chronic, chronic joint condition caused by increased force across the joint and other pro-inflammatory factors such as inflammation throughout the body. According to the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), obese people are 60% more likely to develop arthritis than normal-weight people. Body mass index (BMI) values enhance joint pain symptoms and severity.
Furthermore, for every 11 pounds gained, the risk of having OA increases by 36%. Compared to leaner individuals, women with obesity have roughly four times the risk of knee OA, while men with obesity have five times the risk.
Obesity is linked to an increased chance of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Given the recent rapid rise in the prevalence of obesity, this risk factor appears to have a major impact on the incidence of RA. It may account for a significant percentage of the recent increase in RA among women. Being overweight can exacerbate the symptoms of RA, lead to serious other health issues, and make some arthritis medications less effective. Hence, the increased prevalence of obesity is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period.

South America Arthroscopy Procedures And Products Market: Regional Overview
The orthopedic industry in Brazil has observed significant progress in the last few years. The development of the healthcare sector, the growing number of orthopedic procedures, and increasing foreign direct investment are responsible for the market growth. Many hospitals provide excellent treatment options for various orthopedic problems. The growth of medical tourism, the increasing number of citizens seeking private insurance coverage, and the rising demand for orthopedic implants and other knee prostheses support the market growth. The growing number of hip fractures also fuels the market growth. As per the US Census Bureau, Brazil accounted for ~121,000 hip fractures per year, which is expected to increase to 160,000 by 2050. Osteoporosis is regarded as a significant health problem in Brazil. Therefore, public and private healthcare institutes create awareness regarding diagnosis and treatment for osteoporosis through various awareness programs and campaigns. For instance, "Osteoporosis Prevention Campaign: from the Child to the Senior" was launched by the Ministry of Health in 2011. This initiative aimed to raise the population's awareness of the risks of osteoporosis.
