Small Joint Reconstructive Implants Market Growth Drivers
Global small joint reconstructive implants market has been driven by several key factors, predominantly due to the increasing prevalence of orthopaedic conditions, and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and bone degenerative diseases are on rise which creates demand for the small joint reconstructive implants. According to the WHO, Osteoarthritis is already one of the ten most disabling diseases in developed countries. Worldwide estimates are that 9.6% of men and 18.0% of women aged over 60 years have symptomatic osteoarthritis.
Also, the older generation is more prevalent to orthopaedic conditions; therefore an increase in number of geriatric population also leads to the growth in the market. For instance, according to WHO, globally in 2010 approximately 524 million people were aged 65 years and older, and is expected to reach 1.5 billion in 2050. Moreover, technological advancements in surgical imaging and robotic-assisted surgeries across the globe are propelling the demand for small joint reconstructive implants.
Small Joint Reconstructive Implants Market Restraints
High cost of reconstructive surgery and availability of alternative treatment options limit the growth of the global small joint reconstructive implants market.
