Drivers

Aging Population and Rising Incidence of Orthopedic Conditions 

• The global orthopedic devices market is influenced by factors like geriatrics as the population has a higher tendency to suffer from musculo-skeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis among others. As people are living longer on average, there is a rise in the demand for such treatments as joint replacement surgeries and other orthopedic procedures which in turn drives the growth of the market. 

Technological Advancements in Orthopedic Devices 

• Technological innovations such as 3D printing, robotic-assisted surgeries, and advanced implant materials are key drivers for the global orthopedic devices market. These advancements are made for great enhancement of surgical accuracy, reduced postoperative recovery times and better outcomes for patients. That is why they are very appealing to healthcare providers and help the market grow. 

Restraints 

Shortage of Skilled Surgeons and Healthcare Professionals 

• A shortage of skilled surgeons and healthcare professionals trained in orthopedic procedures can impede the global orthopedic devices market. Such a lack of qualified personnel contributes to prolonged surgery backlogs and restricts the implementation of high-end technologies, negatively impacting patients and the country’s growth rate in the market in general. 

Stringent Regulatory Approval Processes 

• The approval process for orthopedic devices is often rigorous resulting in unwanted delays in the launch of products into the market and thus affecting the growth of the market. In addition, adhering to international standards and extensive clinical trials adds on the amount of time taken before new devices are introduced into the market posing difficulties to the manufacturers and making the introduction of innovative devices in the global orthopedic devices market slow.
