Orthopedic Screws Global Market Report 2026

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.

Tariffs are affecting the orthopedic screws market by increasing import costs of medical-grade titanium, stainless steel, and machining components, which has elevated production and procurement expenses for upper extremity and lower extremity screw systems. The impact is more significant across hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions that rely on cross-border sourcing of raw materials and precision manufacturing inputs. These tariffs have contributed to higher device pricing and delayed purchasing cycles in price-sensitive markets; however, they are also encouraging regional manufacturing, localized machining capabilities, and domestic supply-chain development, generating selective positive outcomes for local producers.

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 strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2025 to $1.39 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidence of traumatic fractures and orthopedic injuries, increasing penetration of orthopedic surgeries in hospital settings, early clinical validation of stainless steel and titanium screw systems, expansion of ambulatory surgical centers for fracture fixation, growing adoption of internal fixation techniques in adult populations.

The orthopedic screws market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aging geriatric population with osteoporosis-related fractures, increasing demand for bioabsorbable screw alternatives, rising orthopedic procedure volumes in emerging markets, growing utilization of lower extremity screw systems in trauma care, expanding use of specialized screws in pediatric fracture management. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing utilization of titanium screws for complex fracture fixation, rising preference for bioabsorbable orthopedic screws in trauma and sports injuries, growing surgical volumes in lower extremity fracture repair procedures, expansion of pediatric and geriatric fracture management using specialized screw designs, increasing clinical adoption of compression screws to enhance bone healing outcomes.

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.

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.
