Orthopedic Splints Market Size

The global orthopedic splints market is projected to grow from USD 2.6 billion in 2021 to USD 3.8 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 7.7% between 2021 to 2026. The market is driven by the increasing incidence of musculoskeletal and orthopedic ailments among the geriatric population. The rising number of arthritis cases across the globe is expected to increase the demand for orthopedic splints during the forecast period.

According to the U.S. Centre for Disease Control, it was estimated that around 22% of the adult population suffered from arthritis in 2015, this number is expected to reach 26% or 78 million adults by the year 2040. Orthopedic splints are used by arthritis patients to rest and support their joints and limbs while preventing further worsening of the ailment.

According to the NHS, over 10 million people suffer from arthritis and are more common in people above the age of forty. The number of injuries related to sports and other recreational activities is also on the rise. Unnatural movement of joints and limbs and collisions during these activities often result in fractures and other conditions that require movement restriction and support. As splints are ideal for providing support and restricting movement to ensure that the body heals without any deformities, the market for such splints is expected to grow considerably during the forecast period.

The availability of reimbursement policies and the growing availability of medical services in developing nations are expected to further increase the demand for splints during the forecast period. The technology used in splint manufacturing like the advent of fiberglass splints has also contributed to the growth of the market. Till the late 1970s, the market was dominated by plaster casts. Fiberglass splints have several advantages over plaster splints such as shorter drying periods, being lightweight, and are more comfortable to wear. Increased investment in the research and development of novel splints such as open lattice plastic casts is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.

The market is restrained by the stringent government regulations that have to be met before products can be sold in markets. People tend to neglect small injuries as there is a lack of awareness among people that such injuries heal more effectively through the use of splints and medical intervention which can prevent complications later on. The market is also restrained by the cost and the lack of coverage by insurance policies in less developed nations.

Orthopedic Splints Market: By Product

Based on the product, the market is segmented into fiberglass splints, plaster splints, splinting tools & accessories, and others. The fiberglass segment is expected to hold the lion’s share of the market during the forecast period. Fiberglass splints are lighter than other splints, have better water resistance, and can be dried in a few hours unlike splints made from plaster which can take up to days. Fiberglass splints are also more comfortable than other splints but they are also more expensive than conventional splints made from plaster. The advantages of fiberglass splints and technological advancements in material synthesis and fabrication of splints are expected to result in this segment becoming the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.

Orthopedic Splints Market: By Application

Based on the application, the market is segmented into lower extremity, upper extremity, and spinal. The spinal segment is envisaged to hold to the dominant share of the market during the forecast period. The growing number of spinal injuries and rising number of accidents related to sports combined with the advancements in technology have contributed to the dominance of this segment. The spinal segment is also expected to grow at a faster rate than the other segments during the forecast period.

Orthopedic Splints Market: By End-User

Based on the end-users of orthopedic splints, the market is segmented into hospitals, outpatient centers, and others. The hospitals segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market revenues during the forecast period. Hospitals are well equipped and have access to a greater number of procedures that make them more appealing to patients. Hospitals are also capable of catering to patients who need post-operation rehabilitation and other care required after surgeries. The growing need for splints in various post-operation procedures is expected to result in the hospitals segment registering better growth rates than the other segments during the forecast period.
