3D Printed Prosthetics Global Market Report 2024

The 3D printed prosthetics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.04 billion in 2023 to $1.13 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The historical period's growth can be credited to factors such as the expansion of customization for individual users, cost-efficiency, and affordability, collaborations and partnerships, the provision of patient-specific solutions, as well as regulatory approvals and adherence to quality standards.

The 3D printed prosthetics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to factors such as remote monitoring and adjustments, the expansion of pediatric applications, advancements in biocompatible materials, initiatives for global accessibility, and increasing awareness and acceptance. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the incorporation of sensory technologies, technological convergence, regulatory adaptation to technological advances, advancements in 3D printing technology, as well as the integration of bionic technology.

The growth of the 3D printing prosthetic devices market is being fueled by the increasing incidence of accidental injuries, which can result in severe damage and, in some cases, lead to amputation. In 2021, car crashes in the US caused the highest number of fatalities in 16 years, claiming the lives of 42,915 people. According to the National Centre for Health Statistics, approximately 50,000 new amputation cases arise annually in the US. The rising occurrence of other medical conditions, such as diabetes and vascular diseases, is contributing to an increase in amputations, thereby driving the demand for 3D printing prosthetics. A report published in the American Journal of Managed Care estimated that globally, a patient's leg is amputated every 30 seconds, with 85% of these amputations being a result of a diabetic foot ulcer.

The expected growth of the 3D printing prosthetics market is also attributed to the increasing prevalence of bone cancer. This rare form of cancer originates in the bone tissue itself or spreads to the bones from other parts of the body. 3D printed prosthetic devices play a crucial role in bone cancer cases, repairing bones damaged by cancer and serving as replacements for conventional tumor prostheses and auto or allograft bone grafts for bone reconstruction. In January 2023, the American Cancer Society reported 2,140 deaths and 3,970 new cases of bone cancer, highlighting the continued growth in the prevalence of this condition.

A significant factor limiting the growth of the 3D printed medical prosthetics market is the delay in elective procedures due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Many countries and hospitals have redirected healthcare resources to address COVID-19 patients, leading to the postponement of elective and non-essential surgical, dental, and medical procedures, as per safety guidelines from organizations such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the USA. Consequently, these delays are expected to decrease the demand for 3D printed medical prosthetics in the near term.

Companies operating in the 3D printing prosthetics market are prioritizing the development of waterproof prosthetic devices, aiming to enhance users' mobility, especially in athletic activities. In April 2022, Protosthetics, a US-based company manufacturing prosthetic devices, introduced Galileo, a 3D printing solution that seamlessly integrates the best technology, materials, and support for orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) practices. Galileo facilitates real-time collaboration between clinicians and 3D printing experts to create successful sockets.

In May 2022, Essentium Inc., a US-based company offering 3D printed prosthetic devices and solutions, entered into a partnership with Vorum for an undisclosed amount. This collaboration expands Essentium Inc. and Vorum into biocompatible 3D printing for the orthotics and prosthetics industry, introducing a line of biocompatible additive manufacturing materials. Vorum, a Canada-based company, specializes in providing 3D printing solutions for the prosthetics, orthotics, and footwear industries.
