Osteosynthesis devices are orthopedic tools and implants designed for the fixation and maintenance of fractured or damaged bones, aiding in accelerating the recovery process and restoring bone structural integrity.
The primary categories of osteosynthesis devices include internal fixation devices and external fixation devices. Internal fixation devices are medical instruments employed during orthopedic surgery, implanted inside the body to stabilize shattered bones or address bone abnormalities. These devices are utilized for various fracture types, including hip fracture, knee fracture, spine fracture, shoulder fracture, foot and ankle fracture, facial bone fracture, among others. The materials used in these devices vary and include both non-degradable and degradable options. Osteosynthesis devices are employed by diverse end-users such as hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.
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 osteosynthesis devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides osteosynthesis devices market statistics, including osteosynthesis devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an osteosynthesis devices market share, detailed osteosynthesis devices market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the osteosynthesis devices industry. This osteosynthesis devices 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 osteosynthesis devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.51 billion in 2024 to $10.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidence of fractures, aging population and osteoporosis, increased sports-related injuries, patient preference for minimally invasive procedures, growing demand for orthopedic surgeries, collaboration between surgeons and device manufacturers.
The osteosynthesis devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing geriatric population, rising trauma cases, prevalence of orthopedic conditions, globalization of orthopedic care, strategic partnerships and mergers. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of locking compression plates (lcp) technology, development of minimally invasive osteosynthesis techniques, focus on bioresorbable fixation systems, integration of smart implants with monitoring capabilities, advancements in osteosynthesis device materials.
The forecast of 5.7% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.2% 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 bioabsorbable plates and locking screws, key imports from Belgium and Taiwan, delaying reconstructive and trauma 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.
An increase in road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the osteosynthesis devices market in the future. Road accidents are incidents that occur when vehicles collide with each other or with other objects, leading to vehicle damage and injuries to those involved. These accidents often result in serious orthopedic injuries, such as fractures and bone breaks. Osteosynthesis devices play a crucial role in the recovery and rehabilitation of accident victims by restoring mobility and functionality. For example, in January 2024, a report from The Road Safety Authority, an Ireland-based government agency, revealed an increase in road fatalities in Ireland across different user groups compared to 2022. The rise in fatalities included drivers (+13), passengers (+12), motorcyclists (+4), pedal cyclists (+2), pedestrians (+1), and other road users (+1). The average monthly death toll in 2022 was 13, which rose to 16 deaths per month in 2023. Therefore, the rise in road accidents is fueling the growth of the osteosynthesis devices market.
A rise in the prevalence of sports injuries is also anticipated to fuel the growth of the osteosynthesis devices market. Sports injuries denote physical harm or damage to the body incurred during sports or physical activities. Osteosynthesis devices play a vital role in addressing sports injuries by providing stability and supporting the healing process of fractured bones through surgical fixation. For example, in June 2023, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australian-based government agency, reported findings from the AusPlay survey by the Australian Sports Commission, revealing that outdoor team sports exhibited the highest reported injury rate per participant at 26% in 2022, followed by 16% in combat sports. Hence, the escalating number of sports injuries is a significant driver of the growth in the osteosynthesis devices market.
Key players in the osteosynthesis device market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as spinal fixation systems, to deliver reliable services to their customers. A spinal fixation system is used to stabilize and support the spine in cases of fractures, deformities, or other spinal issues. For example, in July 2024, Life Spine, a US-based medical device company, received FDA clearance for its ARx SAI Spinal Fixation System. This advanced system marks a significant breakthrough in posterior fixation technology, offering strong stabilization across the sacroiliac joint through a sacral alar iliac trajectory. The ARx SAI system features adaptable, self-drilling screws that improve surgical efficiency by simplifying procedures. Its self-harvesting design allows for better bone integration during insertion, promoting healing. Additionally, the system includes a low-profile Cobalt Chrome tulip head for enhanced strength and a universal T25 hexalobe drive for ease of use.
In February 2024, Zeda, a US-based technology solutions provider, acquired The Orthopaedic Implant Company for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Zeda seeks to strengthen its commitment to revolutionizing the manufacturing and distribution of medical devices worldwide, expanding access to high-quality, cost-effective orthopedic solutions for patients both in the U.S. and internationally. The Orthopaedic Implant Company is a US-based medical device firm specializing in the design and production of orthopedic implants.
