Global Orthopedic Implants Market Dynamics

DRIVER: Rising prevalence of orthopedic diseases and disorders

Demographic changes have led to an increase in the geriatric population worldwide. As per the UN report, the population aged 65 years or older was 727 million globally in 2020, which is expected to increase to 1.5 billion by 2050. Moreover, as per the US National Institute on Aging, the number of people over 65 is forecasted to rise twofold from 2005 to 2030. Such dynamics are reported in Japan, where it is anticipated that by 2060, about 40% of residents will be over 65 (source: WHO).

As bone-related disorders are more prevalent among the older generation, age-related bone disease is categorized under geriatric diseases. Osteoporosis, which refers to the loss of bone mass, is one of the most common bone diseases in the older population. There is a consistent decline in bone mass as people age. Transformation of the bone structure enhances the risk for osteoporosis and causes hip and vertebral compressive fractures in the older population. Per the CDC, every year, 300,000 patients in the 65 and above age group are hospitalized due to hip fractures in the US.

RESTRAINT: High cost of orthopedic surgery

Orthopedic treatments such as knee and hip replacement surgeries are expensive. Most of these treatments require complex materials, engineering precision, and innovative technologies. All of these factors increase costs. Post-surgery treatment and follow-ups add to the expense. This may limit access to these treatments, especially in areas with lower insurance coverage and disposable income. High costs also pose a challenge, as healthcare providers must balance affordability and longevity against implant quality. For example, knee replacement surgery is one of the most commonly performed and effective orthopedic surgeries; it is also expensive. The average cost of knee replacement in India ranges from USD 5,500 to USD 11,500. According to a report published by NCBI, robotic total knee replacement in the US in 2022 was 10% more expensive than traditional total knee replacement.

 

OPPORTUNITY: Advancements in robot-assisted surgery and 3D printing

Knee replacement surgeries are witnessing a rise worldwide. The increasing number of patients suffering from osteoarthritis supports the need for minimally invasive surgical solutions. Minimally invasive procedures use tiny incisions, resulting in less post-operative discomfort, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays. Robot-assisted technology is implemented in tiny 3D cameras and dime-sized surgical instruments inserted inside the patient’s body, allowing orthopedic surgeons to view fine details in otherwise inaccessible surgical areas.

The high success rate of robot-assisted joint replacement surgery (approximately 95%) has been responsible for the surge in joint replacement surgeries. In November 2023, KIMS Hospital in the UK announced that it was now adding Stryker’s Mako Smart Robotics for total knee replacement. According to a study published in the Global Health Journal, 3D models created using 3D printing can aid in surgical planning and help reduce the overall development costs of implants used in orthopedic procedures. With 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, different 3D models of knees, hips, and shoulders can be used to create personalized implants for specific patients.

CHALLENGES: Dearth of skilled surgeons

The high prevalence of orthopedic diseases and the increasing number of surgical procedures are accelerating the requirement for specialists to treat orthopedic conditions. This is a significant limitation in the market, impacting the accessibility and availability of these highly specialized treatments. This shortage results in patients waiting long periods for surgery, reducing their acceptance rate for high-tech orthopedic implants. A shrinking workforce also puts pressure on the few surgeons available, which can negatively affect patient care and outcomes. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons report, the total number of knee replacement surgeries will increase to 3.5 million procedures annually in the US by 2030. The Health Resources and Services Administration has predicted that, by 2025, the US will experience a shortage of approximately 5,080 orthopedic surgeons.

Furthermore, many orthopedic surgeons are nearing retirement. Around 60% of active surgeons are over 55 and plan to retire in the US within the next 15 years (Source: AMN Healthcare Company Merritt Hawkins). According to the US CDC, hip replacements performed on individuals 45 and older rose from 138,700 to 310,800 in the first decade of this century. However, the rate of those procedures increased from 142 per 100,000 people to 257 per 100,000 (Source: CDC).
