Global Prosthetics and Orthotics Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 by Type (Orthotics and Prosthetics), Technology (Conventional, Electric-powered, and Hybrid Orthopedic Prosthetics), and Regions (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa (LAMEA))

Market Overview

Prosthetics is the branch of surgery that deals with the fitting of prosthetic devices, especially artificial limbs in individuals who have lost their limbs. Orthotics is a medical field that deals with the design, manufacture, and fabrication of artificial devices like braces, splints, and others to support damaged or weak joints, bones, muscles, and others. The combination of both professions has the potential to offer significant patient rehabilitation.

According to Ken Research Analysis, the Global Prosthetics and Orthotics Market was valued at US$ 6 billion in 2017. It is estimated to be US$ 7 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach a market size of US$ 9 billion by 2028, owing to the rising incidence of road accidents and sports injuries coupled with the increasing number of diabetes-related amputations.

The growing prevalence of osteosarcoma along with the increase in disability rate is anticipated to propel the growth of the Global Prosthetics and Orthotics Market.

• The advancement in technology for the development of prosthetic devices and adoption of technologies like 3D printed prosthetics owing to their cost-effectiveness and easy usage, next-generation technologies such as microprocessors, automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and others is likely to aid the growth of the market.

The Global Prosthetics and Orthotics Market face challenges due to the high cost of the devices and technologies of prosthetics.

The challenge faced by the Global Prosthetics and Orthotics Market is the lack of developed healthcare infrastructure in developed and under-developed economies. On the other hand, the high cost of devices is expected to obstruct the growth of the market.

• Lack of proper healthcare infrastructure, especially in low-income or developing countries along with the low-income status of large populations may restrict the growth of the market.

COVID-19 negatively impacted the Prosthetics and Orthotics Market for short time due to the disruption in the supply chain globally, delays in approvals or launch of new medical equipment, and reduced healthcare spending. In addition, essential surgeries or medical procedures were taken into consideration during the initial stage. However, many non-governmental organizations and regulatory agencies responded to the changing scenarios and were seeking approvals for the continuation of prosthetic and orthotic care services to offer essential health benefits to patients during the pandemic. The demand for prosthetic and orthotic care is expected to become stable as physical operations are resumed, which is increasing the demand for the services among the existing amputee population with maintenance.
