Several authorities are engaged in regulation of orthopaedic support systems to ensure safety and efficacy of these devices. A majority of the orthopaedic support systems are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) via premarket notification.

However, increasing number of injuries and accidents post the upliftment of lockdown, and continuous rise in incidences of orthopaedic disorders is slowly fuelling the demand for orthopaedic support systems. Additionally, resources such as manpower and equipment are being redirected to meet the care demands of a steadily increasing number of COVID-19 positive patients. This factor further contributes to the rising demand for orthopaedic support systems.
Rise in cases of sports and accident-related injuries will drive the demand for orthopedic support systems.

According to a report by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the worldwide rate of accidental injuries is 61 per 100,000 population, annually. Accidental injuries are the leading cause of disabilities with lifelong consequences in children worldwide. Therefore, the utilization and demand for orthopedic support supplies is boosting at a moderate pace.
