Personalized knee implants are custom-designed knee replacement devices tailored to match the specific anatomical structure of each patient using advanced imaging, 3D modeling, and precision manufacturing technologies. These implants are intended to provide a better fit, improved comfort, and enhanced functionality compared to standard off-the-shelf options, promoting better joint alignment, more natural movement, and potentially quicker recovery following knee replacement surgery.
The primary types of personalized knee implants include femoral, tibial, and patellar components. The femoral component replaces the end of the thigh bone (femur) in the knee joint. Fixation options include cemented, cementless, and hybrid methods, and the implants are made from various material combinations such as metal-on-plastic, ceramic-on-plastic, metal-on-metal, and ceramic-on-ceramic. These implants are used in different surgical procedures, including primary, partial, and revision knee replacements, and are utilized by various end users, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
The personalized knee implants market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides personalized knee implants market statistics, including personalized knee implants industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a personalized knee implants market share, personalized knee implants market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the personalized knee implants industry. This personalized knee implants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The personalized knee implants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.29 billion in 2024 to $2.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to advancements in imaging and diagnostic technologies, favorable government healthcare policies, increased patient awareness of joint replacement solutions, a rise in the number of knee replacement procedures, and growing demand for improved post-surgical outcomes.
The personalized knee implants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.20 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be attributed to a stronger emphasis on patient-specific implant fit and alignment, increased focus on rapid recovery protocols after surgery, broader insurance coverage, a rise in sports-related and trauma knee injuries, and growing healthcare spending. Key trends during this period include the use of virtual reality for surgical training and planning, wearable devices for post-surgery monitoring, augmented reality to assist in surgeries, as well as the integration of nanotechnology and remote patient monitoring with implants.
The rising incidence of osteoarthritis is expected to drive the growth of the personalized knee implants market. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage that cushions bone ends, resulting in pain, stiffness, and limited joint movement. This condition is becoming more common due to the aging population, as the risk of osteoarthritis increases with age because of the progressive wear and tear on joint cartilage. Personalized knee implants offer a solution by providing a tailored fit that corresponds to each patient's unique anatomy, which improves joint alignment, alleviates pain, and enhances mobility more effectively than standard implants. For example, in June 2024, a report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australian government agency, indicated that osteoarthritis accounted for 143,410 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (4.46 per 1,000 people) in 2023, along with 2,314 deaths (8.9 per 100,000) in 2022. These figures represented 2.5% of the total disease burden and 1.2% of all deaths in Australia. As a result, the growing prevalence of osteoarthritis is fueling the expansion of the personalized knee implants market.
Leading companies in the personalized knee implants market are advancing technologies such as robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty to improve surgical accuracy, implant alignment, patient-specific customization, and clinical outcomes. Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty is a surgical technique where robotic systems assist surgeons in planning and performing knee replacements with enhanced precision. For instance, in April 2025, THINK Surgical, Inc., a US-based provider of robotic surgical systems, introduced and first utilized the Freedom Total Knee Implant, marking the initial use of Maxx Orthopedics' implant with the TMINI miniature robotic system. The Freedom implant delivers a high level of patient-specific customization while ensuring surgical efficiency. It features a bone-preserving design that minimizes bone removal during implantation and offers multiple size and configuration options to match the patient's anatomy. The system supports both cemented and cementless fixation and includes an optimized polyethylene insert for better wear resistance and smoother joint movement. Its design aims to replicate natural knee motion, provide stability throughout movement, and ensure long-term durability.
In September 2023, restor3d, a US-based company specializing in 3D-printed implant technology, acquired Conformis Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen restor3d's capabilities in personalized joint replacement solutions and promote the use of 3D-printed orthopedic implants in the market. Conformis Inc. is a US-based medical technology firm focused on personalized knee implants.
