The increasing incidence of sports injuries is notably driving the sports medicine market although factors such as the high cost of orthopaedic implants and other devices may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing incidence of sports injuries is notably driving the sports medicine market growth. Over the years, the sports industry has been growing rapidly and with it, sports injuries have been on the rise too. Especially in the global sports medicine market, incidences of sports injuries have been a major concern for athletes and medical professionals. The increasing number of injuries in sports can be attributed to multiple factors, such as improper training techniques, lack of protective gear, and inadequate rehabilitation of injured athletes.
Further, the pressure of competing at a higher level, extreme training schedules, and the urge to win at all costs have also contributed to the rise in injuries. For instance, one of the most common injuries in sports is an ankle sprain and this wound occurs when the ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn, leading to pain and swelling. It is prevalent in sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Also, concussions are also a major concern in sports, especially in contact sports such as football and rugby. A concussion happens when there is a hurried blow to the head, leading to a disruption of normal brain function and symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Therefore, the rise in the number of sports injuries is anticipated to drive the demand for the sports medicine market during the forecast period.
The rise in demand for minimally invasive surgeries is the primary trend driving the sports medicine market growth. The global sports medicine market has been witnessing a significant increase in demand for minimally invasive surgeries. One of the major advantages of minimally invasive surgeries is decreased trauma to the body compared with traditional open surgeries. For instance, many professional football players have undergone minimally invasive surgeries for their joint injuries, allowing them to get back to the field in a matter of weeks instead of months.
Furthermore, the rise in demand for minimally invasive surgeries is the advancement in technology. The use of robotics and computer-assisted technologies in minimally invasive surgeries has also improved. For example, the use of robotics in knee surgeries has significantly reduced the risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. However, the rising incidence of sports-related injuries is also driving the demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Due to their fast recovery time and minimal scarring, minimally invasive surgeries for common sports injuries have become increasingly prevalent. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global sports medicine market during the forecast period.
The high cost of orthopaedic implants and other devices is the major challenge impeding market growth. Orthopaedic implants and other devices are used to support different parts of the human body, such as bones, joints, and muscles. These devices are necessary for individuals who have suffered an injury or have a medical condition that requires additional support or mobility aid. An example of a costly orthopaedic device is a prosthetic limb, while prosthetics have come a long way in recent years, they can still cost tens of thousands of dollars.
However, this high cost can be a significant burden for amputees, as many insurance plans do not cover the full cost of the device. With a high cost, orthotic inserts are another type of orthopaedic device. These inserts are used to support the foot and ankle and can cost more than USD 500, while they are an effective treatment for many foot conditions, the cost can be prohibitive for some patients. The high cost of orthopaedic impacts and other devices can also be a burden for athletes. For instance, a professional football player may need to wear specialized pads or braces to protect against injury. These devices can cost thousands of dollars and may not be covered by the insurance plan of the team. Therefore, such factors are expected to impede the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
