The global artificial hip and knee joints market size was valued at USD 13.3 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 13.7 billion in 2026 to USD 16.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2026 to 2033. North America dominated the market, accounting for a revenue share of 46.0% in 2025. Rising cases of orthopedic diseases, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, are expected to boost market growth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report from July 2023, approximately 528 million people worldwide were living with osteoarthritis, with the knee being the most commonly affected joint, impacting an estimated 365 million individuals. As osteoarthritis remains a leading cause of pain, disability, and reduced mobility among older adults, the growing prevalence of knee and hip degeneration is expected to increase demand for artificial hip and knee replacement procedures globally.
Factors such as the rising prevalence of hip fractures and the growing geriatric population are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. According to the National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) Annual Report 2024, more than 70,000 hip fractures were recorded across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2023, representing one of the highest annual totals reported in recent years. As hip fractures are strongly associated with aging populations, osteoporosis, and reduced mobility, the increasing burden of these injuries is expected to support the demand for hip replacement procedures and advanced orthopedic implants.
An article published by the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society states that the most common sports injuries occur in the lower extremities, with children being more susceptible than young adults. This research presented findings from 27 U.S. high schools over three years, showing that the lowest-leg injuries occurred during soccer, indoor track races, and cross-country races. A significant surge in treatment adoption rates in developed & emerging countries and growing participation in sports are expected to fuel market growth during the forecast period, consequently driving the adoption of artificial hip & knee joints.
Furthermore, market participants are concentrating on bolstering R&D efforts to introduce advanced products and are focusing on various strategies to maintain their market position. For instance, in March 2025, Stryker launched the fourth-generation Mako SmartRobotics platform, featuring enhanced planning, workflow, and data-driven capabilities for hip and knee replacement procedures. The continued investment in robotic-assisted orthopedic technologies highlights the industry's focus on improving surgical precision, patient outcomes, and procedural efficiency, thereby supporting market growth.
Moreover, favorable government initiatives and reimbursement policies fuel the market growth. For example, Medicaid is a joint federal-state program in the U.S. that provides health insurance to eligible low-income individuals and families. Each state administers its Medicaid program; therefore, reimbursement policies for orthopedic joints and implants may vary by state. States often follow federal guidelines set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. However, they may have their own rules and fee schedules for reimbursing orthopedic procedures.
