In 2024, the orthopedic orthotics market worldwide is expected to be valued at USD 4923.1 million

MARKET DRIVERS

One of the major factors propelling the growth of the orthopedic orthotics market is the rising geriatric populations worldwide requiring orthopedic assistance.

For example, according to a UN report, the senior population worldwide is expected to reach 1.6 billion by 2050. In addition, the number of people over 65 is expected to double in the next three decades. Therefore, the growing prevalence of orthopedic problems, especially among the older populations, supports the need for the market. According to the WHO stats, around 1.71 billion people worldwide suffer from musculoskeletal problems. Additionally, the growing cases of arthritis (Approximately 14 million cases in 2021), bunions, hammer toes, heel spurs, flat feet, back pain, etc., all of which need orthotic assistance, support the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing cases of injuries and sports injuries and common mishaps leading to support from these devices support the market's rise. 

The growing cases of prosthetic care in orthopedics due to the rising number of amputees, accidents, and congenital disabilities also lead to growth in the orthopedic orthotics market.

As orthoses help people with prosthetics to stabilize and adequately function with prosthetics, they are two inseparable branches of orthopedics. Prosthetic care may often require the assistance of alignment, pain relief, and pressure relief in the areas of treatment leading to the need for orthotics. Additionally, orthotics come in different forms according to the patient's requirement, providing a wide range of options leading to more demand for the market. These devices are either premade or custom-made for patients on prescription. Orthotics provides patients with custom-fabricated products (precise and individualized), semi-finished products (last-minute supply for recurrent problems), and finished products (short-term bandages for a limited time).  

Orthoses come in four different specificities lower extremities, upper extremities, trunk orthotics, and head orthotics. Therefore, they cover a wide range of orthopedic problems. Nevertheless, these foot and heel inserts are recommended by the orthotist as a last result when regular exercise and common physiotherapies fail to provide relief to the patient. Therefore, they are the most effective treatment regime with promising results leading to market growth. Additionally, orthotics are a non-invasive procedure without any surgery or incision on the body leading to more favor for the patients and doctors. Foot deformities are a pervasive problem that can occur due to multiple reasons like tight shoes, too much stress on the foot, being overweight, and even due to genetic reasons. Therefore, there is a widespread need for these markets. Furthermore, technological advancements in producing new and advanced orthoses support market growth. Increasing flexibility and versatility in products due to the use of materials like modern plastics, foam, carbon graphite, etc., and deep customizability support the market expansion. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Customizable orthotic products can be expensive and are only affordable by some economic classes, which can pose a drawback to the market. Additionally, the reimbursement policies for orthotics are limited as the insurance policies will cover the procedure only if deemed medically essential. Additionally, limited knowledge in the field and a lack of trained professionals may lead to restraint for the market. Finally, the several side effects associated with using orthoses may also lead to a drawback for the market. For example, orthotics may cause nerve pain, numbness, pain in the knees, extreme sweating, etc. Additionally, orthotics do not require prescriptions, so it is essential to do thorough research before opting for this treatment.
