Orthopedic prosthetics are specialized artificial devices designed to replace a missing body part, which could be lost due to various reasons such as trauma, disease, surgical amputation, debilitating illnesses, or congenital conditions.
The primary product categories within the field of orthopedic prosthetics include upper extremity prosthetics, lower extremity prosthetics, socket designs, and other related products. Orthopedic prosthetics are employed to provide individuals with functional replacements for missing body parts, addressing the consequences of diseases, injuries, surgical amputations, congenital conditions, and other factors. These prosthetics may utilize various technologies, such as conventional orthopedic prosthetics, electric-powered orthopedic prosthetics, and hybrid orthopedic prosthetics. Orthopedic prosthetic devices are utilized by a range of healthcare facilities and providers, including hospitals, prosthetic clinics, rehabilitation centers, and other medical institutions.
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 prosthetics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides orthopedic prosthetics market statistics, including orthopedic prosthetics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a orthopedic prosthetics market share, detailed orthopedic prosthetics market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the orthopedic prosthetics industry. This orthopedic prosthetics 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 prosthetics market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.97 billion in 2024 to $2.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population, trauma and injuries, chronic conditions, rehabilitation and physical therapy.
The orthopedic prosthetics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging markets growth, personalized prosthetic solutions, regulatory support and reimbursement, value-based healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced materials, sensor integration, osseointegration, user-centered design.
The forecast of 5.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% 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 increased costs for lightweight carbon fiber and titanium alloys, primarily imported from Japan and Sweden, leading to higher prices for prosthetic limbs and mobility solutions.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 orthopedic prosthetics market is experiencing growth due to the increasing number of trauma cases and accidental injuries. These incidents result from various factors, such as road accidents, sports-related injuries, medical complications, and workplace accidents. Many of these injuries necessitate amputations and the use of prosthetic devices to replace lost body parts. For example, in the USA, 2.1 million people currently live with limb loss, and this number is projected to double by 2050. Each year, 185,000 individuals in the US undergo amputations, equating to 300 to 500 amputations performed daily. This surge in amputations drives the demand for orthopedic prosthetics, contributing to the growth of the orthopedic prosthetics market.
The increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the robotic prosthetics market. Orthopedic diseases encompass a range of conditions and disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, nerves, and joints. Prosthetics play a crucial role in orthopedics, offering solutions for treating and correcting musculoskeletal issues and injuries by providing limb replacements, aiding gait rehabilitation, and enhancing precision in orthopedic surgical procedures. For instance, in March 2023, according to the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK-based government department, the proportion of individuals aged 16 and older who self-reported having a long-term musculoskeletal (MSK) condition, such as arthritis or persistent issues with their back or joints, rose to 17.6% in 2022. This marks an increase compared to the 2021 prevalence of 17.0%. Therefore, the growing prevalence of orthopedic diseases is driving the growth of the robotic prosthetics market.
Companies in the orthopedic prosthetics market are witnessing the emergence of 3D printed orthopedic prosthetics. 3D printing is a digital model-based process for creating three-dimensional solid objects. These orthopedic prosthetics are manufactured using 3D printing technology, offering advantages such as shorter lead times, reduced costs, and consistent quality. For instance, the Russian company Zdravprint is using 3D printing technology to develop prosthetics for the hand, elbow, and shoulder.
Major companies operating in the orthopedic prosthetics market are focused on advanced product launches, such as sports prosthetics designed specifically for athletes. Sports prosthetics are specialized devices tailored to meet the unique requirements of athletes and individuals engaged in sports and physical activities. For example, in November 2022, Iceland-based orthopedic technology company Ossur hf. introduced three new models of its iconic cheetah sports prosthesis. The cheetah is a J-shaped carbon fiber prosthetic sports foot with a distinctive curved design inspired by the hind leg of the world's fastest land animal. These new models are designed for amputee athletes participating in specific athletic disciplines, including sprinting, distance running, and long jumping. The cheetah is implant-agnostic, enabling athletes to use their implant of choice, and its small footprint allows for versatile use in various athletic settings. These high-performance carbon fiber feet are custom-built for sprinting.
In October 2022, US-based healthcare investment firm Patient Square Capital acquired Hanger Inc. for $18.75 in cash per stock. This acquisition transitioned Hanger Inc. into a private company, enhancing its ability to serve customers and continue its growth. Hanger Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of orthotic and prosthetic patient care services and solutions.
