The North America sports medicine devices market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.04% across the forecasting period of 2022 to 2030. The regional market's growth is fueled by the recommencement of canceled/postponed sports events following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, the significant increase in recreational as well as social activities, and the surging number of water sports activities, including water rafting and motorboat sports.
The North America sports medicine devices market growth assessment encompasses the study of Canada and the United States. The population in Canada is highly invested in sports such as lacrosse, swimming, badminton, cycling, basketball, soccer, hockey, and football. Moreover, hockey is not only the most popular sport in the country but also represents the Official Winter Sport. As of 2020, Canada had 607,951 registered ice hockey players, in addition to over 100,000 registered lacrosse players
However, increased participation subsequently results in an increased number of sports injuries. For instance, more than 35% of injuries in Canada reportedly occur due to sports activities. This factor plays a pivotal role in boosting the demand for sports medicine devices in Canada. Since most injuries are not serious and primarily entail strains and sprains followed by bruises and blisters, they can be treated using braces and supports and avoided with compression socks. Thus, the aforementioned factors are set to propel the North America sports medicine devices market growth over the estimated years.
Some of the key companies operating in the market are: Johnson & Johnson, Stryker Corporation, Arthrex Inc, etc.
