Major trends in the forecast period include patient-centric care and shared decision-making, advancements in surgical techniques, regenerative medicine approaches, expansion of indications for use, integration of advanced imaging techniques.

The increasing incidence of spinal cord injuries is anticipated to drive the growth of the artificial disc market in the future. Spinal cord injuries encompass any trauma, damage, or harm to the structures of the spine, including the bones (vertebrae), intervertebral discs, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and other supporting components. Artificial discs provide a beneficial alternative for spinal cord injuries, offering a surgical option to spinal fusion that restores normal motion, alleviates discogenic back pain, enhances flexibility, and mitigates potential side effects associated with fusion surgery. For example, in July 2024, the Journal of Global Health, a Scotland-based open-access academic journal, published a study involving 2.22 million youths, which revealed that scoliosis was present in 1.20% of cases, with a higher prevalence among girls (1.57 times more likely than boys). The peak rates of scoliosis were found to be 1.42% in girls aged 13-14 and 1.07% in boys aged 15-16, with the condition most commonly occurring in the central region (1.54%) and primarily being mild, showing no correlation to altitude or latitude. Thus, the rising incidence of spinal cord injuries is propelling the growth of the artificial disc market.

The increasing demand for minimal surgical procedures is expected to drive the growth of the artificial disc market in the future. Minimal surgical procedures refer to medical interventions or surgeries that cause minimal disruption to the body’s tissues and structures, often involving the use of artificial discs in spine surgeries. Patients favor these procedures due to their reduced pain and faster recovery times. They also lead to fewer complications, improved patient outcomes, and lower healthcare costs. For example, in February 2024, the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, reported that approximately 83% of all medical procedures performed in 2023 were minimally invasive, leaving standard surgical procedures to account for the remaining 17%. Additionally, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a U.S.-based specialty organization, noted that the total number of cosmetic minimally invasive procedures rose from 23.7 million in 2022 to 25.4 million in 2023. Therefore, the rise in minimal surgical procedures is driving the growth of the artificial disc market.

Major companies in the artificial disc market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as cervical total disc replacement systems, to enhance patient outcomes, improve mobility, reduce pain, and meet the growing demand for minimally invasive surgical options that preserve the spine's natural motion while effectively treating degenerative disc conditions. A cervical total disc replacement system is a medical device used in spinal surgery to replace a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc in the cervical (neck) region of the spine. For example, in December 2022, Centinel Spine, LLC, a U.S.-based medical device company, launched its FDA-approved cervical total disc replacement system, which includes the Prodisc C Vivo and Prodisc C SK devices. This system is part of Centinel Spine's broader Match-the-Disc platform, enabling surgeons to select the most suitable implant based on each patient's unique anatomy. The system offers multiple implant options tailored to accommodate various anatomical needs, enhancing the surgeon's ability to match the disc to the specific requirements of individual patients.

In October 2023, Silony Medical, a medical technology manufacturer based in Germany, acquired Centinel Spine for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Silony Medical to enhance its portfolio of spinal solutions while enabling Centinel Spine to focus on innovations in the artificial disc market, particularly its Prodisc systems aimed at improving patient outcomes in spinal surgeries. Centinel Spine is a U.S.-based medical device company that specializes in the manufacture of artificial discs.

The artificial disc market consists of sales of composite discs, hydraulic discs, elastic discs, and saddle discs. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

An artificial disc serves as a medical device employed in spinal surgery to substitute a damaged or deteriorated natural intervertebral disc within the spine. These pliable, cushion-such as structures situated between the vertebrae function as shock absorbers, furnishing flexibility and reinforcement to the spine.

The primary categories of artificial discs encompass cervical discs, lumbar discs, and artificial discs. The term "cervical disc" pertains to intervertebral discs situated in the cervical spine, which constitutes the uppermost section of the vertebral column in the human spine. The materials utilized for these artificial discs include metal and plastic. The diverse applications encompass spinal trauma and degenerative spine disease, catering to various end-users such as hospitals and specialty clinics.
