Canine Orthopedics Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Application (TPLO, TTA, Joint Replacement, Trauma), by Product (Implants, Instruments), by End Use (Hospitals & Clinics), by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2022-2030

The global canine orthopedics market size is anticipated to reach USD 455.2 million by 2030. The market is expected to expand at a significant CAGR of 8.4% from 2022 to 2030. Some of the drivers attributing to the market growth include rising pet dog ownership, the number of veterinary surgeries across the globe, initiatives by key companies, and orthopedic disorders in pet dogs. In February 2022, the MedTech segment of Vimian Group-Movora acquired IMEX Veterinary, Inc-a veterinary orthopedic implants supplier in the U.S. This complemented the company’s portfolio and enabled Movora to enter a new niche segment within surgical products. Post-acquisition, IMEX became the 4th company in the Movora family of brands that include Veterinary Orthopedic Implants, KYON AG, and BioMedtrix, LLC.



The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in revenue for market players in the market. This was due to cancellation or delay in elective surgical procedures during 2020. Other challenges faced by key companies included logistical bottlenecks and dampened demand. The market, however, recovered gradually to pre-COVID numbers during 2021. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed pet ownership according to findings of the Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA), U.K. This is expected to contribute to market growth. The findings of the two surveys conducted in 2020 by the PFMA during the COVID-19 crisis confirmed a surge in pet ownership in the U.K. Around 3.2 million households or 11% of people brought home a pet since the start of the pandemic.

Increasing numbers of veterinary hospitals and clinics offering orthopedic surgeries for dogs are anticipated to propel the market growth. Sirius Veterinary Orthopedic Center in the U.S., for instance, is a referral-only small animal clinic specializing in orthopedic procedures. The clinic provides treatment for conditions including fractures, injuries, degeneration in the patella, meniscus, cranial cruciate ligament, hip dysplasia or luxation, joint infections, osteoarthritis, and other degenerative conditions. Veterinary Orthopedic and Surgical Care Center in the U.S. performs a range of veterinary surgeries. More than 1000 corrective osteotomies have been performed by the Center making ACL surgeries the most common at the facility.
