Orthotic Devices Market: Growth Factors

Rise in cases of degenerative bone & neuromuscular disorders to create huge demand for orthotic devices

Surge in the number of patients with disabilities is set to boost the global orthotic devices market trends. As per WHO, in 2018, more than one billion individuals were impacted due to one or other kinds of disability. A prominent surge in the aging population prone to chronic disorders such as cerebral palsy will further expedite the growth of the global market. Disorders including degenerative bone disorders and neuromuscular disorders have led to pain in bones, dislocation, and incapacitated patients. This has led to the massive use of orthotic equipment for improving the quality of patient life and providing relief to patients. Moreover, an increase in neuromuscular disorders and a rise in degenerative bone ailments witnessed in the geriatric population is likely to pave the way for the expansion of the market across the globe.

Furthermore, the rise in the cases of arthritis witnessed in the elderly population and the surge in cases of road collisions has translated into a massive need for orthotic devices in the healthcare sector. As per CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), nearly 63 million people in the U.S. are affected due to arthritis. Moreover, it is more likely that the number of arthritis patients in the country will reach 78 million by the end of 2040.
