It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies. 
The orthopedic braces and support devices and equipment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $4.01 billion in 2024 to $4.2 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population, orthopedic injuries, rehabilitation and physical therapy, lifestyle and fitness trends.
The orthopedic braces and support devices and equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging markets growth, regulatory support and reimbursement, value-based healthcare, personalized medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include smart orthopedic braces, 3d printing, lightweight and breathable materials, tele-rehabilitation and remote monitoring.
The orthopedic braces and support devices and equipment market is experiencing robust growth driven by the increasing aging population. The elderly are more susceptible to injuries as their bones and connective tissues weaken with age. For example, in the United States, around 70% of the population aged between 50-70 years suffers from osteoarthritis, and this figure is expected to rise in the coming years. This demographic shift is a significant contributor to the market's expansion.
The increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the orthopedic braces, support devices, and equipment market. Orthopedic diseases, or musculoskeletal disorders, affect the musculoskeletal system and contribute to a higher demand for orthopedic braces, supports, and assistive devices. These products help individuals manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance recovery, fueling the market for orthopedic accessories. For example, in March 2023, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK-based government department, reported that in 2022, 17.6% of individuals aged 16 and older self-reported having a long-term musculoskeletal (MSK) condition, such as arthritis or persistent back or joint issues, up from 17% in 2021. As a result, the rising prevalence of orthopedic diseases is contributing to the growth of the orthopedic braces and support devices market.
To address the growing demand for orthopedic braces and support devices and equipment, various companies are incorporating innovative technologies, such as bionic energy-saving solutions, to address injuries in the knee, arms, and other movable body parts. For instance, spring-loaded technology includes the LevitationTM bionic knee brace, which enhances mobility and provides strength to the legs by storing energy when a person sits or rests. These technologies significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals and positively influence market growth.
Major companies in the orthopedic braces, support devices, and equipment market are focusing on developing advanced products like unloader technology-based brace systems to provide effective pain relief and improved mobility for patients with osteoarthritis, eliminating the need for surgery. These brace systems are designed to alleviate pain and enhance mobility by offloading weight from injured or arthritic joints, redistributing forces to promote healing and functional performance. For example, in January 2024, Enovis Corporation, a US-based medical technology company, launched the DonJoy Roam OA knee brace. It features "Mag-align" magnetic clips for optimal strap alignment, Set-and-Forget technology for easy application, and the BOA Fit System for adjustable support. These innovations improve patient comfort and confidence while offering effective unloading and stabilization, enabling users to maintain or increase their activity levels.
In January 2024, OrthoPediatrics Corp., a US-based medical device company, acquired Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics for $80 million. This acquisition is intended to expand OrthoPediatrics' specialty bracing division and enhance its offerings in pediatric orthotic management. The goal is to improve care for children with orthopedic conditions and address unmet needs in the non-surgical treatment market. Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics is a US-based company specializing in pediatric orthotic bracing and prosthetics.
Orthopedic braces, support devices, and equipment are medical tools designed to provide external support to the musculoskeletal system. They help stabilize and protect injured bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments. Commonly used in rehabilitation, these devices promote healing, prevent further injury, and enhance mobility. Their primary purpose is to ensure proper alignment and aid in the recovery process.
The primary categories of orthopedic braces and support devices and equipment encompass lower extremity braces, upper extremity braces, back and hip braces, and other specialized braces.
