Spinal Implant Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)

The spinal implant market continues to exhibit robust growth, driven by rising global incidences of spinal disorders, technological advancements, and increasing aging populations. Spinal implants play a pivotal role in addressing conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and traumatic spinal injuries. The market is characterized by a competitive landscape, marked by constant innovation, strategic collaborations, and regulatory compliance. Based on the data from the World Population Ageing 2020 Highlights, there's a noticeable global trend towards an aging population. The proportion of individuals aged 65 and above is projected to rise from 9.3% in 2020 to approximately 16.0% by 2050. With this aging demographic, the likelihood of encountering spinal conditions like degenerative disc disorders and spinal stenosis is amplified, highlighting the increased susceptibility among elderly individuals. In recent years, several key trends have shaped the spinal implant market. Minimally invasive procedures have gained significant traction, offering quicker recovery times and reduced post-operative complications. Furthermore, the integration of advanced materials, such as titanium alloys and biocompatible polymers, has enhanced implant durability and compatibility.

The Spinal Implant Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period.

Based on product, the spinal implant market is segmented into Spinal Fusion & Fixation Devices, Motion Preservation/Non-Fusion Devices, Vertebral Compression Fracture Treatment Devices/Spine Augmentation Devices, and Spine Biologics. In the realm of Spinal Implants, the dominant share in the product category is projected to be held by spinal fusion and fixation devices throughout the predicted timeframe. This is attributed to the broad spectrum of available spinal fusion and fixation devices on the market. Additionally, the rising prevalence of degeneration in the lumbar spine worldwide is anticipated to drive growth in this particular segment. Moreover, recent endorsements of advanced technology-infused spinal fusion and fixation devices are also poised to stimulate growth within this segment. For example, in August 2020, Innovasis achieved a significant milestone by obtaining a special 510(k) clearance for a porous spinal interbody device integrated with HAnano Surface technology. This newly sanctioned range of Innovasis micro porous 3D printed titanium devices includes the AxTiHA System, an independent IBF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) device designed for enhancing lumbar fusion procedures.

By procedure, the market is bifurcated into Neurosurgery and Wound Care. Among these, Neurosurgery captured the majority share of the Spinal Implant market in 2022. Neurosurgery involves surgical procedures that are focused on treating conditions of the nervous system, including the spine. Spinal implantation is a crucial part of many neurosurgical procedures aimed at addressing issues such as herniated discs, spinal tumors, spinal stenosis, and other neurologic disorders. Neurosurgery is often considered more complex and specialized due to the intricacies of the nervous system. Therefore, the neurosurgery segment might lead due to its critical role in treating various spinal conditions that require precise interventions.

Based on end-users, the spinal implant market is segmented into hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and others. The hospitals segment is expected to lead the spinal implant market during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing number of surgical procedures performed in hospitals, the availability of advanced medical facilities, and the presence of a large number of specialized healthcare professionals..

For a better understanding of the market adoption of the Spinal Implant industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of World. North America dominated the Spinal Implant market in 2022. This supremacy can be attributed to the presence of a robust and well-established reimbursement landscape tailored for spinal surgeries in the region. Furthermore, the region's possession of advanced healthcare facilities and adept healthcare infrastructure, coupled with an escalating prevalence of low back pain, significantly fuels the market's momentum within North America. Additionally, the escalating volume of spinal surgeries stands as an augmenting factor for the region's spinal implant devices market. A study titled "Predicting Trends in Cervical Spinal Surgery in the United States from 2020 to 2040" conducted by Neifert S.N. et al. and published in NCBI in 2020 projects an expected rise of 13.3% and 19.3% for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and posterior cervical decompression and fusion (PCDF) procedures during the span from 2020 to 2040. Moreover, the region's spinal implants market will further receive impetus from product approvals. An illustrative example is Orion Biotech Inc., which obtained US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval in August 2020 for their Thoracolumbosacral Pedicle Screw System. This system is designed to provide posterior, non-cervical immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients.

Some of the major players operating in the market include: Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Zimmer Biomet, Stryker Corporation, B. Braun Melsungen AG, NuVasive, Inc., Integra LifeSciences, Orthofix Medical Inc., RTI Surgical, and Globus Medical.
