Orthopedic screws, made from materials such as titanium or stainless steel, play a crucial role in surgical procedures for bone repair. These screws are designed to provide compression within the bone, facilitating the healing process after a fracture.
Orthopedic screws come in various types, with applications for both upper and lower extremities. In the upper extremity, which comprises the upper arm, forearm, and hand, totaling 30 bones, orthopedic screws are employed to stabilize fractures and osteotomies in areas such as the elbow, wrist, carpal, metacarpal, and phalangeal regions. These screws are crafted from materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and bioabsorbable substances. They find applications in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and other medical facilities, serving end-users ranging from pediatrics and adults to geriatrics.
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 sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The orthopedic screws market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides orthopedic screws market statistics, including orthopedic screws industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an orthopedic screws market share, detailed orthopedic screws market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the orthopedic screws industry. This orthopedic screws 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 orthopedic screws market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.26 billion in 2024 to $1.32 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population and orthopedic conditions, sports injuries and trauma cases, increasing awareness and patient demand, prevalence of degenerative bone diseases.
The orthopedic screws market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to customization and patient-specific solutions, rise in minimally invasive surgeries, global increase in orthopedic procedures, expansion of sports medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include regulatory compliance and standardization, global market expansion, collaborations and partnerships, orthopedic tourism, environmentally sustainable practices.
The forecast of 5.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for medical-grade stainless steel and cobalt-chromium, key imports from Germany and India, delaying fracture fixation and spinal surgeries.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising frequency of road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the orthopedic screw market in the future. A road accident refers to an incident on a public road involving at least one vehicle, leading to injury or death of at least one individual. The main reasons for orthopedic implant surgeries, which include screws and plates, are accidents or traumatic events such as road accidents and sports-related injuries. For example, in 2023, the Transport Accident Commission, an Australia-based government agency, reported that 295 people lost their lives on Victorian roads, a 22.4% increase (54 more fatalities) compared to 2022. Additionally, there were 261 fatal crashes, up by 22 (9%) from the previous year's total of 239. Consequently, the rising number of road accidents is expected to boost the growth of the orthopedic screw market.
The increasing number of orthopedic surgeries is anticipated to propel the growth of the orthopedic screws market. Orthopedic surgeries focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic screws are vital instruments used in these surgeries to stabilize and secure bone fragments, implants, or other orthopedic devices in various procedures. For example, in May 2022, the British Orthopaedic Association, a UK-based body, reported that over 42,000 orthopedic surgeries were performed in England in March 2022, the highest total since June 2021. Therefore, the rising number of orthopedic surgeries is fueling the growth of the orthopedic screw market.
Key industry players within the orthopedic screw market are strategically focusing on the development of sustainable and innovative offerings, notably bioresorbable implants, to gain a competitive edge. These bioresorbable implants significantly contribute to improved recovery and reduced invasiveness in procedures, eliminating the necessity for implant removal surgeries. For instance, in March 2023, Bioretec Inc., a Finland-based manufacturer specializing in pediatric and adult orthopedic implants, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the RemeOs trauma screw. This orthopedic screw, made from bioresorbable metal, has undergone successful clinical trials and previously gained recognition as a breakthrough device from the FDA. The incorporation of bioresorbable metals merges the surgical techniques of traditional metal implants with the patient-centric advantages offered by recent bioresorbable polymer implants, ultimately obviating the need for implant removal surgeries.
In February 2024, Zeda, Inc., a US-based healthcare solutions provider, acquired The Orthopaedic Implant Company (OIC) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Zeda, Inc.'s product offerings and make high-quality orthopedic care more accessible worldwide. The Orthopaedic Implant Company (OIC) is a US-based medical device firm specializing in orthopedic implants.
