However, the hip replacement devices are classified as a Class III medical device that is subject to stringent regulations and compliances. As a result, these devices are regulated by the U.S. FDA. A premarket approval (PMA) is needed for class III devices before their commercial distribution. The manufacturer is required to get approval under section 515 of the act that comprises of FDA's issuance of approving the application for premarket approval (PMA) for the device. Moreover, the European Union Commission has revised medical device regulation that substitutes the current medical device directive. As per the new regulation, these devices are classified as class 3 devices that refer to a class of high-risk devices that are subject to stringent compliances. Hence, stringent regulations will impede the industry growth during the forecast period.
 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health concern. This pandemic has adversely impacted the number of hip arthroplasty procedures. High risk of COVID-19 infection involved during the surgical procedure along with rising COVID-19 patient admissions in the hospitals are one of the prime factors resulting in declining surgical procedures. For instance, in the UK, about 100,000 joint replacement surgeries were cancelled during the first wave of COVID-19 in the early 2020. Although, the industry is poised to witness significant growth due to the decreasing number of COVID-19 patients in some regions and implementation of standard operating protocols in healthcare facilities. The government initiatives for providing clinical emergency care to patients suffering from osteoarthritis have sustained the revenue growth.
 

Rising geriatric population coupled with growing prevalence of hip arthritis and osteoporosis is anticipated to boost the hip replacement market expansion

Increasing prevalence of hip arthritis and osteoporosis along with the growing geriatric population will promote the market progression. The recent and ongoing technological advancements have resulted in young teenagers with juvenile arthritis and elderly people successfully treated with hip replacements. Hence, device manufacturers are emphasizing more on hip implant design to mimic the natural movement of the body.
 

Growing acceptance of primary hip replacement devices will fuel the market revenue

The primary hip replacement devices segment accounted for USD 4.98 billion in 2020. The benefits offered by primary hip replacement procedures include improved function, pain relief, and advanced quality of life among others resulting in augmenting the segment revenue in the coming years. Additionally, manufacturers in the market offer a comprehensive portfolio of technologically advanced hip products coupled with a focus on specific requirements of individual patients. The high growth rate of the segment is owing to developments in hip joint replacement surgical methods that reduce the risk of chronic health conditions and allow the removal of the diseased bone & cartilage. The rising usage of hip replacement devices is due to the high success rate of primary hip reconstruction surgery.
 

Increasing preference for metal-on-plastic hip replacement devices will positively impact the industry expansion

The metal-on-plastic segment exceeded USD 3.81 billion in 2020 led by the advantages metal-on-plastic devices offer that include durability, reliable outcome, affordable alternative, etc. Metal-on-plastic hip replacement devices are a good option for less active patients and are the most commonly used hip reconstruction implants. Several other benefits such as technological advancements, fewer complications, and lesser wear particles are increasing its adoption.  The most commonly used metal and plastic include stainless steel & titanium and polyethylene, respectively. It is the widely used artificial hip component material chosen by surgeons owing to its advantages.
 

Benefits of cemented fixation in high survival rate of implant will spur the hip replacement market demand

The cemented fixation segment is projected to expand at 1.8% growth rate to reach USD 751 million by 2027 due to benefits such as high survival rate, forms an interlocking fit between implant & bone, and allows the bone to grow onto the implant over time. For instance, the survival rate of cemented fixation used at 10 years is around 96% in patients aged over 75 years. Cemented fixation uses fast-drying bone cement to attach the patient's natural bone and the prosthetic joint component. A small amount of antibiotic material can be added to the bone as the cement dries within 10 minutes of application thus, helps to reduce the risk of post-surgical infection.
 

High acceptance of cross-linked polyethylene inserts in hip arthroplasty will positively affect the industry revenue

The hip replacement market for cross-linked polyethylene inserts segment is predicted to attain a CAGR of 2.4% to cross USD 3.3 billion by 2027 on account of the advantages of cross-linked polyethylene include reduced osteolysis, offers excellent clinical outcomes, and implant survivorship among others. These inserts are developed precisely to decrease polyethylene wear and subsequent wear debris-induced osteolysis. For instance, clinical studies have demonstrated that cross-linked polyethylene inserts have a high success rate in primary hip arthroplasty. Moreover, in hip reconstruction procedures, this insert is comparatively insensitive to femoral head size, allows the surgeon to use large femoral heads to strengthen hip stability and decrease post-operative complications.
 

Increasing hospitalizations with severe hip arthritis and osteoporosis will simulate the industry value

The hospitals segment dominated more than 84% of the hip replacement market share in 2020. High usage of advanced hip replacement devices providing improved outcomes will drive the patient preference for hospitals. Growing hospital admissions with several hip disorders along with the availability of trained healthcare professionals will impel the demand for hip reconstruction devices in the hospitals. Furthermore, hospitals provide continuous monitoring after surgery, design exercise to restore strength, work closely with patients, and offer physical therapies. Therefore, patient preference for a well-equipped emergency orthopedic surgery department will fuel the segment demand. As a result, well-equipped hospitals will be preferred by the patients. The rising patient inflow has further increased the product adoption rate, thereby fostering the market growth in the coming years.
 

Growing incidences of road accidents in North America will stimulate the regional growth
