3D Orthopedics/Prosthetics Global Market Report 2024

The 3D orthopedics/prosthetics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.97 billion in 2023 to $1.04 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. Historical growth can be attributed to several factors, including increased disability rates, rising demand for orthopedic medical devices, a surge in joint replacement surgeries, technological advancements, increased healthcare expenditure, and growth in emerging markets.

The 3D orthopedics/prosthetics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.38 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. Forecasted growth is fueled by factors such as rising geriatric population, diabetes-related amputations, road accidents, and joint reconstruction demand. Key trends include smart wearables, eco-friendly options, AI for anatomy comparison, IoT-enabled surgery solutions, customized implants with novel materials, technology development, partnerships for market expansion, and investments in advanced products.

The expansion in the number of trauma cases and accidental injuries is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the 3D orthopedics/prosthetics market. Orthopedic prosthetics involve the use of artificial limbs to enhance the functionality and quality of life for individuals who have experienced limb loss. This demand for prosthetics arises from various causes, including trauma cases and accidental injuries. For example, Hanger, Inc., a US-based company specializing in prosthetic and orthotic care devices, reported in April 2021 that more than 2 million Americans have experienced limb loss due to trauma and accidental injuries. The projection indicates that, by 2050, an estimated 3.6 million people in the USA will be living with limb loss. This increase in limb loss incidents underscores the growing need for 3D orthopedics/prosthetics.

The growth of the 3D orthopedics/prosthetics market is further fueled by the rising number of amputations associated with diabetes. Diabetes-related amputations, involving the surgical removal of a toe, foot, or part of a leg, are a significant complication of the condition. High blood sugar levels contribute to these amputations, creating a demand for 3D orthopedics/prosthetics to replace lost body parts and support essential functions. According to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 5 Americans is expected to have diabetes by 2025. This high prevalence of diabetes indicates an anticipated increase in amputations, driving the demand for 3D orthopedics/prosthetics in the coming years.

Smart wearables are gaining momentum in the 3D orthopedics/prosthetics market, leveraging robotics and artificial intelligence to provide precise control over prostheses. These smart wearables utilize algorithms that interpret electric nerve signals from the patient's muscles, allowing for advanced functionalities. An example of this technological advancement is seen in the prosthetic arm developed by Esper Bionics, a New York-based engineering startup. The Esper Hand incorporates intuitive self-learning technology, surpassing comparable prosthetics in predicting intended movement. It operates through a brain-computer interface (BCI) based on electromyography, capturing brain signals to activate specific muscles and control the prosthetic in response to the wearer's intentions.

There is a growing emphasis on eco-friendly solutions in the 3D orthopedics/prosthetics market. Major players are prioritizing sustainability by introducing environmentally friendly alternatives to drive innovation and maintain a competitive edge. For instance, Sculpteo, a France-based company specializing in cloud-based 3D printing, collaborated with Daniel Robert Orthopedie to develop an innovative eco-friendly orthosis. This collaboration aims to bring forth next-generation prostheses and orthotics with a focus on sustainability. The wearable, designed by additive manufacturing using Sculpteo's bio-based PA11, is made from castor beans, creating a material that is both sustainable and customizable to meet patients' unique needs. This initiative reflects a commitment to eco-friendly practices within the realm of 3D orthopedics/prosthetics.

In June 2021, Paragon, a US-based orthopedic company, acquired Additive Orthopedics for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition broadens Paragon's 3D orthopedics portfolio, encompassing proprietary pre-operative surgical planning applications, Gorilla ankle fracture plating system, Phantom TTC fusion nail systems, APEX 3D total ankle replacement system, and silverback ankle fusion plating systems. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in the United States, Additive Orthopedics is renowned for its leadership in 3D orthopedics/prosthetics.
