Market Overview

Global Artificial Disc Replacement market reached US$ YYmillion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ YYmillion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Artificial disc replacements (ADR) are surgical procedures performed in the spine to address worn or damaged discs between the vertebrae. These discs function as cushions, allowing the back to flex and absorb trauma.

This procedure uses artificial discs to replace injured spinal discs. Replacing a worn-out disc while maintaining mobility at the operated spinal level is the goal and benefit of artificial disc replacement. This may help people avoid developing issues at a nearby level of the spine in addition to treating the underlying back pain.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Increasing technological advancements

Increase in the number of orthopedic injuries and increasing ortho-related diseases are expected to drive the market growth. All artificial discs have the feature of replicating the discs' rotating function, which allows them to maintain the spine's natural range of motion. Increasing spine injuries low back pain and other ortho-related injuries are expected to drive the market growth.

For instance, according to the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in 2022, it is estimated that low back pain is very common. More than 80 out of 100 people have this condition at some point in their life. It can be a cause of worry, disability, and time off work.

According to an NIH report in 2023, lower back pain (LBP) is one of the most common presenting complaints globally, as approximately 80% of the population sustains an episode once in their lifetime. Thus, the increase in low back pain cases is expected to drive the market growth.

Challenges faced by the surgeons

Accurately implanting the artificial disc to restore proper spinal alignment is crucial for a successful outcome in disc replacement surgery. This can be technically challenging, especially for surgeons who are not accustomed to the procedure.

Segment Analysis

The global artificial disc replacement market is segmented based on the disc type, material type, application type and region.

Composite disc segment is expected to dominate the market growth

A composite artificial disc is comprised of several pieces, often two metal endplates with a polyethylene (plastic) spacer sandwiched in between them. The used composite materials can be designed to more closely resemble the flexibility and range of motion of an actual spinal disc. In terms of pain alleviation, range of motion, and general functioning, this can result in better patient results. Compared to metal-on-plastic systems, may be made to wear less quickly. This will lower the chance of more procedures and lengthen the implant's lifespan.

When utilized in artificial disc replacement, composite materials have the potential to be stronger and more fatigue-resistant than certain conventional materials. This results in a possible decreased chance of implant malfunction. Over time, enhanced stability and fixation can result from the use of certain composites that encourage better bone ingrowth on the implant surface.

Geographical Analysis

North America is expected to hold a significant position in the artificial disc replacement market share

North America is expected to hold the dominant position in the market share. This is the increase in the innovation and introduction of new devices and increased FDA approvals are expected to drive market growth in the region.

For instance, in August 2023, ZimVie Inc. received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for a smaller height of the Mobi-C Cervical Disc in seven footprints that will address the anatomical needs of the U.S. patient population.

Additionally, in July 2022, Centinel Spine received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for 1-level indications for prodisc C Vivo, prodisc C SK, and prodisc C Nova. Thus, the above factors are expected to hold the region in the dominant position.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 has impacted the growth of the market moderately. The delay in the surgeries and the postponements of the diagnosis of the actual medical cause has impacted the market growth during the pandemic. The manufacturing companies have been closed during the pandemic which has reduced the availability of the devices to hospitals and distributors. Thus, COVID-19 have impacted the market growth.
