One of the major challenges being faced by the global orthopedic devices market is the high cost associated with orthopedic surgical procedures. The procedures require specialized implants, tools, and equipment which are expensive. Moreover, with increasing age, people require repetitive surgeries which further adds to the costs. This acts as a deterrent for people from opting for such treatments, especially in developing regions with limited access to healthcare. Additionally, the recovery period post-surgery is also long which impacts productivity and incurred costs. Device manufacturers are trying to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions. However, achieving substantial cost reductions remains a challenge given stringent regulatory norms and intricacies of the procedures.
Market Opportunity - Growth Opportunities Offered by Emerging Markets
The global orthopedic devices market has potential growth opportunities in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. These regions are witnessing rising incidences of orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis due to rapidly growing geriatric population coupled with increasing lifestyle diseases. However, due to limited access and awareness, a large patient segment remains untreated in these regions. This offers vast untapped market potential for orthopedic device manufacturers. Device players who are able to offer affordable, innovative and customized products as per the requirements of these regions will be able to gain significant market shares. Local manufacturing through partnerships can help reduce costs further.
