Absorbable Segment to Grow Significantly During 2022-2028
According to our latest study on "Soft Tissue Anchors Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis - by Type, Tying Type, Material, and End User," the market is expected to grow from US$ 677.68 million in 2022 to US$ 912.27 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2028. The report highlights trends prevailing in the market and factors governing the market's growth.
The increasing prevalence of orthopedic disorders such as osteoporosis, joint disorders, and ligament & tendon injuries among the geriatric and obese population are expected to create demand for soft tissue anchors. Additionally, the surge in sports activities led to an increase in sports injuries and orthopedic surgeries that are fueling the soft tissue anchors market's growth. However, the high cost of surgeries and unfavorable reimbursement scenarios are hampering the growth of the soft tissue anchors market.
Significant Rise in Elderly and Obese Population
Various economies, such as the US, the UK, Canada, Japan, China, India, and South Korea, are witnessing considerable modernization of healthcare facilities and improvements in healthcare services. With this, people's life expectancy in these countries has increased, expanding the geriatric population. According to the data presented by the WHO, the population aged 60 years and above was 1 billion in 2019, which is expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 by 2050.
A report by the US Census Bureau states that the number of people in the US aged 65 and above is anticipated to grow from 46 million in 2016 to over 98 million by 2060. Their population share is anticipated to surge from ~15% to ~24% during this period. Another report, published by Eurostat, states that Europe had the world's highest percentage (20.8%) of people aged more than 60 years in 2021. Further, by 2050, all regions, except Africa, would have ~25% or more of their populations aged 60 and above. Underdeveloped and developing countries would account for ~80% of this growth. Thus, the increase in the geriatric population has increased the prevalence of various orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, joint pain, joint replacement, and others that are expected to increase the demand for soft tissue anchors. According to the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the US, which has affected 32.5 million people and 43% of the population aged 65 years and above in 2020.
Obesity is a major cause of orthopedic injuries, which are likely to increase the growth of the soft tissue anchors market as obese people are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as soft tissue damage, osteoarthritis, and others. According to the Trust for Americas Health report 2020, the US obesity rate is estimated to be 42.4%, increased by 26% since 2008. As per the National Library of Medicine, the obese population is more prone to tendinopathies, rotator cuff tendonitis, shoulder impingement, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
Thus, the increase in the elderly and obese population globally has increased orthopedic injuries and disorders, creating the demand for soft tissue anchors and supporting market growth.
