Pediatric Orthopedic Implants Market Report 2025

The pediatric orthopedic implants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.84 billion in 2024 to $2.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in pediatric orthopedic surgery techniques, increasing incidence of pediatric orthopedic conditions, rise in pediatric sports injuries, growing awareness and education, and pediatric subspecialization in orthopedics.

The pediatric orthopedic implants market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.98 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized and customized implants, increased focus on minimally invasive techniques, growing prevalence of pediatric musculoskeletal disorders, and expansion of pediatric trauma cases. Major trends in the forecast period include collaborations for research and development, technological innovations in implant design, advances in imaging technologies, technological innovations in implant materials, and telehealth in pediatric orthopedic care.

The increasing number of children is expected to drive the growth of the pediatric orthopedic implants market in the future. Children are young individuals who have not yet reached maturity and are still in early development stages. Pediatric orthopedic implants offer several benefits, including pain reduction, decreased swelling and inflammation, and improved limb mobility. For instance, in 2023, a report from the Forum on Child and Family Statistics, comprising 23 federal government agencies focused on children and families, noted that the United States had 72.5 million children in 2022, a decrease of 0.4 million from 2021. The number of children is projected to rise to 78.2 million by 2050. Therefore, the growth in the child population will drive the pediatric orthopedic implants market.

The rising incidence of sports injuries is expected to boost the growth of the pediatric orthopedic implants market in the future. Sports injuries refer to physical harm or damage incurred during athletic activities or exercise. Pediatric orthopedic implants are utilized in these cases to stabilize fractures or repair growth plate injuries in children, providing essential structural support and facilitating proper bone healing to restore normal function. For example, in 2023, the National Safety Council, an India-based non-profit organization, reported that emergency departments treated 3.7 million individuals for injuries related to sports and recreational equipment. The activities most frequently associated with these injuries include exercise, cycling, and basketball. Thus, the increasing incidence of sports injuries is driving the pediatric orthopedic implants market.

Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the pediatric orthopedic implants market. Major companies in this sector are concentrating on developing new products to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in March 2024, OrthoPediatrics, a US-based bioscience company, introduced its RESPONSE Rib and Pelvic Fixation System, specifically designed to treat children with Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS). This system aims to provide specialized treatment for children with EOS, particularly those at risk of Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. As part of the RESPONSE product line, it includes a variety of implants and instruments tailored for rib and pelvic fixation, allowing for targeted care for pediatric patients. This launch seeks to enhance patient outcomes by providing surgeons with comprehensive tools to effectively manage different degrees of scoliosis.

Prominent companies in the pediatric orthopedic implants market are directing their efforts toward advanced solutions, including the integration of patented modular quick-clip technology. This proprietary technology aims to expedite the assembly or connection of modular components in diverse applications or devices, thereby enhancing surgical precision, reducing operative time, and optimizing patient outcomes. An illustrative instance is the November 2023 launch by OrthoPediatrics Corporation, a US-based medical devices company, of the Mitchell Ponseti Plus Bar (MP+). Part of their specialty bracing portfolio for children with clubfoot, this orthopedic device employs patented modular quick-clip technology and features elastomer bumpers on the heels, expanding the width range for a customized fit.

In July 2022, OrthoPediatrics Corporation, a U.S.-based medical devices company, completed the acquisition of Pega Medical for $33 million. Through this strategic acquisition, OrthoPediatrics aims to broaden its pediatric orthopedics portfolio, thereby extending support to a larger demographic of children affected by orthopedic disorders. Pega Medical, based in Canada, specializes in the creation and manufacturing of pediatric orthopedic implants, aligning with OrthoPediatrics' vision of expanding its product range for pediatric orthopedic solutions.
