Key findings from this report
The global orthopedic market had an estimated $33bn size in 2009, a Y-o-Y increase of 7.1%. The market is moderately dependent on macroeconomic trends and demographics.
In 2009, the market growth was adversely affected by patient deferral of orthopedic procedures and increased pricing pressure from buyers. Market performance was also considerably impacted by currency fluctuations, owing to a strengthening US dollar. This is due to the fact that majority of orthopedic companies are based in the US.
Spine, knee, and hip implants formed the largest orthopedic market segments in 2009, and accounted for nearly $18.2bn sales. Surgical accessories used in orthopedic procedures represent the most fragmented market segment, followed by spinal devices. The orthobiologics segment has the least competition and was also fastest growing segment.
Regulatory pressure on the orthopedic market will significantly rise due to the impending review of the PMN pathway, the Physician Payment Sunshine Act and application of comparative effectiveness research (CER) information by buyers and payers.
Along with CER studies, the impending $20bn medical device tax will add further pricing pressures.
