Artificial Limbs Global Market Report 2026

Artificial limbs, also called prosthetic limbs, are devices designed to replace a missing arm or leg and help restore both function and appearance. These prosthetics are custom-designed to fit an individual's body and needs, allowing users to carry out daily activities with greater independence and mobility.

The major product categories of artificial limbs include upper extremity, lower extremity, liners, sockets, and other products. Upper extremity devices are designed to replace missing or impaired parts of the upper limb, including the arms, hands, and fingers. The materials used include titanium, plastics, and others, and they are incorporated into technologies such as body-powered or cable-powered prosthetics, cosmetic prosthetics, myoelectric or electrically powered prosthetics, and others. The primary end-users include hospitals, orthopedic clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, rehabilitation centers, and prosthetic clinics.

Tariffs are impacting the artificial limbs market by increasing the cost of imported components such as titanium joints, myoelectric sensors, and advanced polymers. Segments including myoelectric prosthetics and cosmetic prosthetics are most affected, particularly in Asia-Pacific regions like China and India that serve as major manufacturing hubs. This has led to higher production costs and delayed deliveries. Positively, tariffs have encouraged local production, development of alternative materials, and boosted domestic innovation in prosthetic technologies.

The artificial limbs market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides artificial limbs market statistics, including artificial limbs industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a artificial limbs market share, detailed artificial limbs market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the artificial limbs industry. This artificial limbs 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 limbs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.7 billion in 2025 to $2.88 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced prosthetic technologies, reliance on conventional body-powered prosthetics, growing amputation cases due to accidents and diseases, lack of skilled prosthetists, increasing awareness about rehabilitation services.

The artificial limbs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.73 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological innovations in myoelectric and bionic limbs, rising investment in prosthetic research and development, integration of ai and robotics in prosthetic devices, expansion of prosthetic and rehabilitation clinics, increasing collaborations between manufacturers and healthcare providers. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of myoelectric and electrically powered prosthetics, increasing customization and personalization of prosthetic limbs, growth in rehabilitation and prosthetic clinics, advancements in lightweight and durable materials, rising demand for cosmetic and functional prosthetics.

The increase in road accidents and trauma cases is expected to propel the growth of the artificial limbs market going forward. Road accidents and trauma refer to injuries and fatalities resulting from vehicular collisions and other road-related incidents affecting drivers and pedestrians. The rise in road accidents and trauma cases is driven by factors such as distracted driving, overspeeding, poor road conditions, and insufficient safety measures. Artificial limbs provide significant benefits to victims of road accidents and trauma by restoring mobility and functionality while enhancing quality of life. Prosthetic limbs enable individuals to regain the ability to walk, run, or use their hands, depending on the limb replaced. For instance, in September 2025, according to Brake, a UK-based road safety charity, it was reported that in 2024, 1,671 people lost their lives on UK roads, while an additional 28,804 individuals sustained serious, life-altering injuries. Therefore, the rise in road accidents and trauma cases is contributing to the growth of the artificial limbs market.

Companies operating in the artificial limbs market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as digital prosthetic arms, to improve accessibility and personalization in limb replacement solutions. A digital prosthetic arm is a customized assistive device created using digital technologies such as 3D scanning, modeling, and printing to replicate and restore the function of a missing limb. For example, in October 2025, Motorica, a Russia-based provider of advanced prosthetic solutions and medical cybernetics, launched its Digital Prosthetics Program in India. The initiative uses 3D imaging, computer-aided design, and high-precision 3D printing to produce highly personalized mechanical prosthetic arms. By digitally modeling each user's limb, the program removes the need for physical molds, significantly reducing production time. This approach improves comfort, fit, and functionality while expanding access to high-quality prosthetics in underserved regions.

In January 2024, Ossur hf, an Iceland-based manufacturer of non-invasive equipment, acquired Fior & Gentz Company for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Ossur seeks to expand its portfolio of advanced prosthetic solutions and enhance its technological capabilities in the field of prosthetics. Fior & Gentz Company is a Germany-based manufacturer of custom-made orthotics for individuals using knee and ankle orthotic joints.
