REPORT HIGHLIGHT

Market Dynamics

Orthopedic braces and support systems are mainly used to stabilize, support and protect musculoskeletal issues that include congenital conditions, traumatic injury, or disabling illness. Increasing incidences of orthopedic injuries is driving the market growth significantly. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 54.4 million people are diagnosed with arthritis in the U.S. during the year 2013-2015.

Furthermore, technology advancements and improvement in standard of living has led to a sharp increase in life expectancy.

This would in turn create upward demand for products such as orthopedic braces and support systems, augmenting the industry growth to great extent. On the flip side, high cost of these products is expected to pull back the market growth to some extent. For example, the average cost of osteoarthritis NoVel Medial Knee Brace would be in rage of USD 455 – USD 460. Additionally, reimbursement policies of these products are minimal. As a result, out of pocket spending for these product is increased for customers, hence, hampering the market growth.
