Global sports medicine market overview
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global sports medicine market to grow at a CAGR of more than 7% by 2020. One of the primary drivers for this market is the growing demand for minimally invasive (MI) surgeries. These are the most preferred procedures as they use power tools to carry out surgeries with small cuts, shortens the hospital stay post-surgery, reduces bleeding and recovery time, and enables a faster return to normal activities. There is an increased demand for these surgeries to treat sports complications related to the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and spine. The rise in the adoption of computer-assisted robotic surgeries and regenerative medicines for lesser recovery time is also propelling the growth of this market.
The market is witnessing high investments by vendors in the research activities. Based on the sports medicine industry trends, vendors are coming up with various new products with improved features and functions aimed at increasing their efficiency in healing. There is an increased preference for the use of MRI technology in treating sports injuries as it gives better diagnosis related to sports injuries. Many physicians are also using 3D-MRI techniques for better /image-guided procedures. The manufacturers are developing better technologies to ensure the zero-defect reliability of the diagnosing devices and to improve their accuracy.
Segmentation by application and analysis of the sports medicine market
The knee segment will dominate the market during the forecast period and is expected to occupy more than 20% of the overall market share. It is one of the fastest-growing segments in the market owing to the rise in sports activities. The knee is the most common site of injuries in young athletes. Some of the common knee injuries include ACL, MCL, cartilage damage, and meniscal tear. Factors such as the rise in the adoption of ACL surgery and other minimally invasive techniques will drive the segment for knee treatment in the market.
