How are Knee Reconstruction Procedures Driving Sales in the United States?

In recent years the United States has witnessed a notable increase in the number of joint reconstruction procedures, with hip and knee procedures being major areas of application. According to the Center of Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Care & Research, approximately a million hip and knee replacement surgeries are performed in the country every year, making them some of the more common orthopedic procedures performed.

Nearly 50% of all American adults are expected to develop osteoarthritis in one knee in their lifespan. Also, the report indicates that knee replacement surgeries are expected to grow by around 670% by 2030, reaching 3.5 million procedures annually.

Further, knee reconstruction devices are also finding roles in musculoskeletal pain treatment. Also, the presence of major manufacturers in the country will contribute significantly to developments in the industry in the long-term.

What Opportunities Can Market Players Leverage in the United Kingdom Market?

According to a report from the National Joint Registry, approximately 160,000 hip and knee replacements are performed in England and Wales each year. These procedures are carried out in around 400 hospitals across the country, with a third being managed by the independent sector, and the rest being administered by the National Health Services. Also, the rate of ACL reconstruction procedures has risen by around 12 times from 2 in every 100,000 people to more than 24 per 100,000 in the past two decades.

The UK market is set to open up rapidly, even as cases of chronic knee pain in the UK has increased with age affecting more than 60% in the population age of 75 and above. Knee reconstruction devices are also being deployed to treat soft tissue and sports-based injuries including ligament and muscle injuries in the region.

Why are Knee Reconstruction Devices Flourishing in China?

According to data from the Chinese Medical Journal, covering data from manufacturers and companies accounting for up to 95% of products approved by the National Medical Products Administration for artificial joints in the market. The number of cases for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and unicondyle knee arthroplasty (UKA) have increased by almost 600% and more than 100% respectively between 2011 and 2019.

China is expected to post major gains, with a rise in disposable incomes and higher standards of living, encouraging the adoption of therapeutic options. Chinese pharmaceutical companies are investing in joint reconstruction offerings, which will widen sales prospects across East Asia, setting up positive growth estimates in the long-term.

Why are Manufacturers Targeting the German Market?

On average, orthopedic surgeons in Germany, perform 35 ACL reconstruction procedures, with frequent implementation of stability examinations and frequent femoral drilling techniques being witnessed in the country. Lack of descriptive statistics despite the growing number of ACL reconstructions remains a challenge in the industry.

As a result, healthcare providers in the country are incorporating standardized knee reconstruction devices to eliminate the issue. According to a report by the US National Library of Medicine, more than 200 cases of knee replacement surgeries per 100,000 people in the country account for the demand in the country. Consequently, growth prospects of the market in Germany remain positive through the end of the assessment period in 2031.

Why are Cement Implants Gaining Ground?

Knee reconstruction devices are classified into cemented implants, cementless implants, partial implants, and revision implants. Of these the share from cemented implants is projected to account for a larger market share through the end of the assessment period.

Cemented implants are expected to grow at more than 6% CAGR through the end of 2031. This can be attributed to benefits of easier control in terms of occlusion, superior passive fits, elimination of screw access holes, and long-term patient reconstruction outcomes as compared to cementless variants.

Will Hospitals Continue to Dominate Adoption Rates?

Hospitals, orthopedic clinics and ambulatory surgical centers are the primary end users of knee reconstruction devices. Hospitals will account for a relatively larger market share through the forecast period, which can be attributed to better access to capital and healthcare infrastructure.

On the other hand, orthopedic clinics are anticipated to display a relatively faster rate of growth at over 7% CAGR. This can be attributed to the demand for specialist equipment required in these facilities. Lower costs will also support the adoption of knee reconstruction devices in ambulatory surgical centers.

How are Trauma Applications Contributing to Market Growth?

Knee reconstruction devices are used for patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and trauma. Osteoarthritis patients account for a relatively larger share of the market of close to 50%, which can be attributed to higher incidence of joint damage and knee pain.

However, advances in reconstruction devices and therapy practices will result in a faster rate of adoption by trauma patients accounting for more than 6% CAGR throughout the assessment period, driven by superior patient outcomes.
