Orthopedic Splints Market Analysis

The Orthopedic Splint Market is expected to register a CAGR of around 10.8% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 had a temporary negative impact on the market as the sudden onset of the pandemic resulted in canceling of many surgeries. The volume of orthopedic surgeries has significantly declined during the pandemic, owing to the stringent guidelines by the regulatory authorities to avoid all non-emergent surgeries. For instance, according to the article published in Cureus Journal in August 2021, the number of orthopedic surgeries fell by 22.8% during the first year of the pandemic. This led to a decrease in the demand for the orthopedic splint. Moreover, the market is gradually stabilizing as COVID-19 cases are declining to result in the return of the normal demand levels for an orthopedic splints.  

Factors such as the increasing number of musculoskeletal disorders, increasing bone fracture cases, and a rise in the geriatric population are expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. Physicians often suggest the use of orthopedic splints to treat muscular, or muscle-nerve diseases that cause pain. Individual differences in pain include intense pain, shocking pain, and pain that worsens with movement. Thus, the use of orthopedic splints can be beneficial in people who experience severe pain in the hip, knee, ankle, feet, and in back muscles. According to the WHO data updated in July 2022, musculoskeletal diseases (MSD) are the main cause of disability globally, that affected 1.71 billion people globally in 2021. Thus, the burden of MSD globally is expected to drive demand for orthopedic splints, contributing to the overall market growth.

Furthermore, the increase in the geriatric population is expected to be a significant contributor to the studied market. According to WHO data published in October 2021, between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years is predicted to nearly double from 12% to 22%. In 2050, 80% of older people will be living in low- and middle-income countries. This target population is more prone to age-related MSD and fractures due to falls. Thus, it is expected to generate demand for orthopedic splints used for pain relief purposes.

Therefore, due to the factors mentioned above, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth during the forecast period. However, negligence of the target population toward minor injuries is predicted to hinder the market growth.

Global Orthopedic Splints Market Size Summary

The orthopedic splint market is poised for significant growth, driven by an increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, bone fractures, and a rising geriatric population. The market experienced a temporary setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a decline in orthopedic surgeries and, consequently, a reduced demand for splints. However, as the situation stabilizes, the demand for orthopedic splints is expected to return to normal levels. The global burden of musculoskeletal diseases, which are a leading cause of disability, is anticipated to further propel market growth. The geriatric population, particularly those over 60 years, is more susceptible to age-related disorders and fractures, thereby increasing the demand for splints for pain relief and support.

North America emerges as a key region in the orthopedic splint market, attributed to a high incidence of injuries and a growing elderly population prone to fractures and musculoskeletal disorders. The region's market growth is supported by the increasing prevalence of back pain and spinal surgeries. The United States, in particular, holds a significant market share due to the high incidence of fractures among the elderly. The market is characterized by fragmentation, with numerous global and regional players contributing to its competitive landscape. Recent developments, such as product launches and collaborations, are expected to further drive market expansion.
