According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global lumbar spine fusion market is likely to grow steadily and will post a moderate CAGR of close to 5% during the forecast period. The shift in preference to minimally invasive (MI) surgeries from traditional surgical methods has led to the high adoption of spine surgeries, especially TLIF, XLIF, and DLIF. Open spine surgeries can lead to various post-operative complications such as pain, partially collapsed lungs, blood clots, fatigue, muscle atrophy, and infections. Whereas, MI spine surgery is associated with rapid recovery, reduced hospital stays, and better patient outcome, resulting in many medical facilities recommending spinal fusion surgery to repair the vertebrae and treat painful conditions of spine. Moreover, MI spinal surgeries result in minimal blood loss, lower infection rate, reduced pain, and faster patient ambulation and retrieval, leading to their increased adoption over the next four years.
One of the recent trends gaining traction in the market is the increased use of surface modified titanium in spinal implants. In the recent years, spinal implants such as cages, rods, screws, hooks, and bolts are being manufactured with titanium over stainless steel. Also, a new class of titanium implants with nano-roughened surface modifications have been shown to induce greater osteoblast differentiation of culture stem cells than PEEK. These implants are strong, lightweight, and allow for better CT and MRI imaging after implantation with minimum interference. Furthermore, titanium implants have a porous structure on the inner surfaces, which promotes integration of bone for enhanced fusion and retroserrated toothing on the caudal and cranial surfaces of the implant, providing effective primary stability.
The global lumbar fusion market is highly competitive owing to the presence of large, well-established global and regional vendors. The market entry of new companies will further increase the competition during the forecast period. Theintense competition among the vendors is hindering the growth of the market, resulting in an increase in price wars among vendors and a significant reduction in the average selling price of spinal implants. Although the leading vendors hold the majority of the market shares, factors such as innovation, greater product development, and choice is bound to change the competitive landscape of the market.
Key vendors in this market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include Aesculap Implant Systems, Alliance Spine, Alphatech Spine, Amedica, AOI Medical, Apollo Spine, Cook Medical, Crosstrees Medical, K2M, LDR Holding, MEDICREA, NuTech Medical, Orthofix International, Paradigm Spine, RTI Surgical, Smith & Nephew, Trans1, Vexim, VTI, and Zavation.
The implants and instrumentation segment was the highest revenue contributing segment and will continue to dominate the market until the end of 2020. Lumbar spine implants and other support devices are used in correcting deformities of the lumbar region, strengthening and stabilization of the spine. These implants are made of different materials such as titanium alloy, steel or bio-absorbable materials, synthetic or naturally-derived bio-materials. The different types of implants available in the market include interbody cages, lumbar plating systems, and fixation systems, which will also contribute to this market segment’s growth in the coming years.
In terms of geography, the Americas was the highest revenue contributing region in the market and will lead the market over the next four years. The growth of this market in the region is attributed to the higher incidence of spinal disorders in the region. Also, countries such as the US and Canada have advanced infrastructure-based medical facilities, which will also contribute to the growth of this market in the Americas.
