[184 Pages Report] The Prosthetics & Orthotics Market size was estimated at USD 7.10 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 7.47 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.38% to reach USD 10.24 billion by 2030.
The prosthetics and orthotics market encompasses the design, manufacturing, and distribution of artificial limbs (prosthetic devices) and supportive or corrective medical braces (orthotic devices) designed to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities or to enhance the operation of movable parts of the body. Prosthetics are custom-made to fit the individual’s unique needs, while orthotics can be customized or off-the-shelf. Increasing incidences of sports-related injuries and road accidents, along with a growing geriatric population and rising prevalence of osteosarcoma, drive market growth. Increasing adoption of braces, splints, and non-invasive treatments also fuels the market growth. High cost and lack of accessibility for orthotics & and prosthetics, complex designs, and discomfort related to prosthetics & orthotics pose a challenge to market growth. Rising product developments using advanced prosthetic manufacturing techniques make them more accessible and affordable. Moreover, developing ecosystems for start-ups manufacturing robotic prosthetic arms and exoskeletons also poses potential opportunities for the market growth.
Type: Rising popularity for prosthetics to improve quality of life by providing movement and independence
Orthotics refers to externally applied devices designed to modify the structural and operational characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. They cover a range of products, including shoe inserts, braces, and supports used to correct or accommodate the alignment, support body segments, and reduce pain. Lower limb orthotics are designed to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities or improve the function of movable body parts, ranging from the hip to the foot. Spinal orthotics, or orthoses, are devices that support or correct the function of the spine. They are used to treat various conditions, from scoliosis to post-operative immobilization. Upper limb orthotics encompass devices for the upper extremities, including the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand.
Prosthetics are artificial devices that substitute missing body parts lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. The need for prosthetics can be life-changing for amputees, aiding in mobility and functionality, improving the quality of life, and fostering independence. Liners are used as a cushioning interface between the residual limb (stump) and the prosthetic socket. They provide comfort, reduce friction, and help to distribute pressure evenly to protect the residual limb. Lower extremity prosthetics include artificial limbs designed to replace legs from below or above the knee. These prosthetics are complex devices that enable mobility and functionality, thereby improving the life of the amputee. Modular components in prosthetics are the interchangeable parts used in constructing a prosthesis. These include joints, connectors, and adjustable sections, allowing for a customizable fit to the user’s needs and similar functions to the natural limb. The socket is the prosthesis portion that makes direct contact with the residual limb, serving as an anchor point for the rest of the device. Upper extremity prosthetics are artificial limbs that replace missing arms or parts of the arm, including the hand. These prosthetics can be body-powered, using cables and harnesses, or externally powered, using battery-operated motors to mimic the movement of a natural limb. When comparing orthotics and prosthetics, both serve distinct purposes and are individualized to the wearer’s needs. Orthotics primarily focus on support and functionality improvement, while prosthetics aim to replace a lost limb or body part. The technological advancements in prosthetics tend to be more intricate, such as the development of bionic limbs, compared to those in the field of orthotics.
Application: Rising usage of prosthetics and orthotics in the hospitals to cater to a larger patient base with a wider variety of health concerns
Prosthetics and orthotics clinics are specialized facilities where individuals receive personalized fitting and adjustment services for prosthetic limbs and orthotic devices. These clinics are often chosen by patients who require more comprehensive, often time-intensive service in terms of customization and fitting. Hospitals represent another primary application segment where prosthetics and orthotics services are provided, often alongside other medical interventions. This setting is particularly important for immediate post-operative care and for patients who require integrated medical services due to multiple health issues. Rehabilitation centers are specialized facilities focused on helping patients regain or improve their physical capabilities, usually post-injury or surgery, through targeted therapy and support, including the use of prosthetics and orthotics. While clinics provide customization and hospitals offer immediacy of care, rehabilitation centers offer a middle ground that includes therapeutic care and the gradual integration of prosthetics and orthotics into daily life. These centers are usually equipped to provide long-term rehabilitation and are ideal for a slow and steady recovery process
