Orthopedic devices are the devices that are used for managing and preventing injuries and deformities of the musculoskeletal system. These devices facilitate replacement of bones or missing joints and provide support to the fractured bone. They are composed of a combination of metals such as stainless steels and titanium alloys to enhance strength, whereas the outer layer of plastic functions as artificial cartilage.
However, the orthopedic device is 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, orthopedic devices are classified as class 3 devices that refer to a class of high-risk devices that are subject to stringent compliances. In addition to this, the excessive cost of these devices and post-surgery complications, especially in the developing economies will impede the industry growth.
The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic at a global level is an unprecedented health concern and has had a deterring impact on the orthopedic devices market. A study was conducted by the Madras Orthopedic Society for assessing the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on orthopedic surgeries. According to the study, around 49.5% of the participants reported that the orthopedic outpatient practice during the pandemic was reduced by 75% in early 2020. A significant decrease in the volume of orthopedic procedures, amidst the pandemic, was reported. As per a recently published research article, in 2020, around 6.3 million orthopedic procedures were canceled across the globe, in a 12-week period due to COVID-19 pandemic. The disruption of manufacturing & distribution of products and restrictions on elective surgeries during COVID-19 has significantly hampered the market expansion.

Rising incidence of orthopedic disorders along with the growing geriatric population will promote the market value. According to the United Nations World Population Ageing report, the estimated number of people aged 65 years or above is 727 million globally. The number is further anticipated to double and reach 1.5 billion by the end of 2050. The share of elder population with respect to global population is projected to rise from around 9.3% in 2020 and reach 16% by 2050. The orthopedic conditions are mostly related to aging and are poised to increase with aging population.
Surge in medical comorbidities, reduced physiological reserve, mortality and morbidity after trauma may considerably differ in younger patients and adults aged 70 years and older. The people belonging to 70 and above age group are more likely to have critical injuries owing to a fall and likely incidents. According to the National Trauma Database, in the U.S., elderly patients aged 65 and above with trauma are around 25% among total trauma patients. Aging population leads to higher vulnerability related to musculoskeletal system in the form of injuries and disorders.
Continuous technological developments in orthopedic devices, innovations in design and efficiency have facilitated the use and convenience of the devices in the industry. Extensive research and development in the equipment used for hip, spinal, and knee replacement have introduced innovative offerings in the market such as patient-specific, personalized implants and 3D printed implants. Novel automation technologies coupled with robotics are being deployed in the business operations, further helping to deliver high quality devices. Additionally, the emergence of robotics in orthopedic surgeries is less invasive and offer high precision, further facilitating shorter stays in the hospitals and rapid recovery.
The U.S. FDA approved the da Vinci Surgical System, the first robotic surgery system. More players are funding research activities in surgical robotics to offer guidance during surgeries or to get 3D scans that assist in the design of personalized joints. The virtual surgical planning coupled with patient-specific implants will lead towards higher degree of customization, accuracy and enhanced efficiency. The innovation in material and with the advent of 3D bio-printing in orthopedics the demand for these medical products will boost significantly.
Technological advancements are improving numerous surgical procedures, thereby impelling the outcomes. These advancements include minimally invasive surgeries, motion preservation techniques as well as tissue-guided surgeries. Moreover, recent advancements in the field of orthobiologics and stem cell-based strategies have highlighted faster recoveries. Another advent in the field is drug-eluting bone grafts that can be potentially used to manage orthopedic surgical infection. Clinical studies have inferred that orthobiologics can fasten the healing process. Developments in these devices are projected to expedite their demand in surgical procedures in future, thereby promoting the orthopedic devices market demand during the forecast timeline.
