Market Dynamics
Total Hip replacement arthroplasty(THA) advances and innovations are expected to drive market growth.
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been considered one of the most successful and cost-effective orthopedic surgeries. The number of THAs performed globally has increased exponentially in the previous decade, as has the percentage of young patients looking to improve their quality of life and return to physically demanding activities. Total joint arthroplasty has seen an increase in 3D printing technologies. This technology is used in patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), which allows the operating surgeon to precisely position the implants according to the pre-operative plan. Moreover, 3D printed metal can replicate the pore size and elasticity of the trabecular bone, opening numerous avenues to cementless implants.
More recently, robotic-arm assisted surgery has been developed as a promising technique to improve accuracy in cup placement with minimal intra-operative complications. Additionally, the trauma fixation sector has progressed steadily over time, with the most recent improvements focusing on using polymeric materials to improve outcomes. For various reasons, this is especially true for bone fixation components made of Carbon Fiber (CF) reinforced PEEK polymers, such as bone plates and screws. Future advancements in PEEK implants will potentially feature antimicrobial properties, reducing the likelihood of infection around the implantation site. Even without those advancements, PEEK is increasingly becoming the material of preference in trauma fixation devices. Thus, the market is expected to boost in the forecast period from the above statements.
Restraint:
The new trauma fixation devices have complex technological operations that trained professionals can only perform. Most developing and poor economies lack trained candidates to operate technologically complicated equipment. Moreover, the decrease in Medicare reimbursements for orthopedic trauma surgery from 2000 to 2020 in the USA and stringent regulatory issues are factors the market is expected to get hampered in the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially influenced orthopedic surgery, with a considerable reduction in elective procedures, which are orthopedic physicians' bread and butter. The spectrum of orthopedic trauma injuries has shifted from more severe and frequent road traffic accidents (high energy trauma) to general, low energy household injuries like common energy fractures in the elderly, pediatric fractures, household sharp cut injuries, and nail bed lacerations, according to the findings. Moreover, outpatient clinics and the orthopedic emergency bay were restricted to emergency issues such as infections, fractures, and follow-up care of post-operative patients. The screening of these patients was done by clinical staff and consultants only (residents were excused from the clinics); the rest of the patients are managed via tell clinics, a promising evolving modality. Additionally, COVID-19 disrupted daily practices: elective orthopedic procedures like joint replacements, nerve and tendon transfer, reconstruction of sports-related injuries, and care delivery system of orthopedic surgery. The pandemic is not likely to have long-term effects on end-users primary growth in the trauma fixation devices market.
Segment Analysis
The Internal Fixators segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the trauma fixation devices market.
In 2020, the internal fixators segment accounted for the highest market share. Internal fixation devices are medical implants implanted in the body to keep the bone's shape and to bear load as it heals. Cannulated screws, intramedullary nails, hip screws, cables, wires, pins, and plates treat internal damage. This hardware is biologically inert and provides excellent support, allowing it to work across a broad spectrum of therapies. For instance, PEEK and PAEK polymers are used for applications relating to facial trauma. Craniomaxillofacial, or CMF, implants are essential for facial trauma or tumor resection and are increasingly fabricated from PAEK or PEEK polymers for numerous reasons.
Moreover, they are much lighter than metal alternatives, so patients adapt to their presence faster. Further, PEEK and PAEK offer much lower thermal conductivity, making them less sensitive to changing temperatures. Therefore, it increases the demand for trauma fixation devices.
Geographical Analysis
North America region holds the largest market share in the global trauma fixation devices market.
In 2020, North America accounted for the highest revenue share. The increasing number of geriatric patients, the rising burden of osteoporosis and other bone diseases, increasing incidents of burn cases, growing unintentional injury are some factors the region is expected to boost in the forecast period. For instance, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, published in May 2020, With an increasingly aging population, the importance of preventing and managing osteoporotic fragility fractures is increasing over time. Moreover, according to a report by the US Surgeon General, approximately 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have osteoporosis, with a further 34 million at risk of the disease. Osteoporotic fractures in the USA are prevalent, with an estimated 1.5 million suffering fragility fractures each year.
Additionally, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, unintentional injuries caused 169,936 fatalities in the United States in May 2020. Accident injuries caused 39.5 million physician visits and 29.4 million emergency department visits. Thus, the market is expected to grow in the North American region in the forecast period from the above statements.
Competitive Landscape
Major key players in the trauma fixation devices market are Stryker Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Cardinal Health Inc., Smith & Nephew PLC, Medtronic PLC, WuhanYijiabao Biological Materials, Ortosintese, Zimed Medical, MIKAI, and TASARIMMED.
