Artificial Disc Global Market Report 2026

An artificial disc serves as a medical device employed in spinal surgery to substitute a damaged or deteriorated natural intervertebral disc within the spine. These pliable, cushion-such as structures situated between the vertebrae function as shock absorbers, furnishing flexibility and reinforcement to the spine.

The primary categories of artificial discs encompass cervical discs, lumbar discs, and artificial discs. The term "cervical disc" pertains to intervertebral discs situated in the cervical spine, which constitutes the uppermost section of the vertebral column in the human spine. The materials utilized for these artificial discs include metal and plastic. The diverse applications encompass spinal trauma and degenerative spine disease, catering to various end-users such as hospitals and specialty clinics.

Tariffs are impacting the artificial disc market by increasing costs of imported metals, polymers, precision machining equipment, and sterilization components used in disc implant manufacturing. Spine surgery centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported implants, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on device production. These tariffs are raising implant prices and procedural costs. However, they are also promoting domestic implant manufacturing, regional supplier development, and innovation in cost-efficient artificial disc designs.

The artificial disc market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides artificial disc market statistics, including artificial disc industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a artificial disc market share, detailed artificial disc market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the artificial disc industry. This artificial disc 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 artificial disc market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.19 billion in 2025 to $3.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of degenerative spine diseases, increased adoption of disc replacement over fusion, availability of advanced spinal implant designs, expansion of spine surgery centers, improved surgical techniques.

The artificial disc market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising aging population with spinal disorders, increasing preference for motion-preserving treatments, expansion of outpatient spine procedures, growing investments in next-generation spinal implants, increasing demand for faster recovery solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of motion-preserving spine implants, rising demand for cervical disc replacement procedures, growing use of advanced biomaterials, expansion of minimally invasive spine surgeries, enhanced focus on long-term implant performance.

The increasing incidence of spinal cord injuries is expected to drive the expansion of the artificial disc market in the coming years. Spinal cord injuries encompass any trauma, damage, or harm to the structures of the spine, including the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and other supporting components. The rise in spinal cord injuries is primarily attributed to the growing number of high-impact motor vehicle accidents and falls from heights, which remain the leading causes of acute traumatic injuries to the spinal column and nerves worldwide. Artificial discs support the treatment of spinal cord injuries by providing a surgical alternative to spinal fusion, restoring natural motion, reducing disc-related back pain, offering flexibility, and minimizing potential complications associated with fusion surgery. For example, in July 2024, according to the Journal of Global Health, a Scotland-based open-access academic journal, a study involving 2.22 million youths reported scoliosis in 1.20% of cases, with a higher prevalence among girls, who were 1.57 times more likely than boys. Peak prevalence rates were observed at 1.42% in girls aged 13-14 and 1.07% in boys aged 15-16. Scoliosis was most prevalent in the central region at 1.54% and was predominantly mild, with no association with altitude or latitude. Consequently, the rising incidence of spinal cord injuries is contributing to the growth of the artificial disc market.

Major companies in the artificial disc market are increasingly advancing next-generation prostheses that integrate biomechanical complexity with surgical simplicity to more closely replicate natural spinal motion, minimize wear, and ease implantation. These devices frequently incorporate advanced materials, such as additively manufactured metals, along with viscoelastic cores to restore physiological movement across all six degrees of freedom, thereby enhancing long-term clinical outcomes and encouraging wider adoption. For example, in February 2024, NGMedical, a Germany-based medical device manufacturer, introduced its MOVE-C artificial cervical disc in the United Arab Emirates, representing a key milestone in its global commercialization strategy. The first MOVE-C implantation was successfully carried out in Abu Dhabi. The MOVE-C prosthesis features a second-generation viscoelastic design with axial damping and progressive resistance, combined with a simplified implantation approach similar to that of a cervical cage, making it more surgeon-friendly. Notably, MOVE-C is the first artificial disc to incorporate additively manufactured titanium endplates and removes the need for polyethylene cores, which may help reduce long-term wear.

In October 2023, Silony Medical, a medical technology manufacturer based in Germany, acquired Centinel Spine for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Silony Medical to enhance its portfolio of spinal solutions while enabling Centinel Spine to focus on innovations in the artificial disc market, particularly its Prodisc systems aimed at improving patient outcomes in spinal surgeries. Centinel Spine is a U.S.-based medical device company that specializes in the manufacture of artificial discs.
