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 osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is a major factor that is notably driving the market growth. Arthritis is joint inflammation affecting connective tissues, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited mobility. Aging, injuries, trauma, genetics, diabetes, obesity, and immune dysfunction are common causes of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Prevalence rates of knee OA were 16% among individuals aged 15 years or above and 22.9% among those aged 40 years or above in 2020, with 654.1 million cases worldwide.
The incidence rate of knee OA was 203 per 10,000 person-years in individuals aged 20 years or above, with 86.7 million new cases worldwide in 2020. The global prevalence of RA was 460 out of 100,000 people in 2020. As the global population aged 65 years and above is growing, the use of medical devices such as metal implants made of medical alloys is increasing to replace damaged bones caused by OA and RA, driving the market growth and trends.
The increasing adoption of minimally invasive procedures is an emerging market trends. Herniated discs, degenerative spinal diseases, fractures, trauma, tumors, herniated discs with cord compression, herniated discs with Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES), spondylosis/spondylolisthesis, stenosis, pseudoarthrosis, partial knee trauma, and errors in the positioning of prosthetic implants can all be treated using minimally invasive surgical procedures.
When compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgical methods are safer, less stressful, and have lower mortality and complication rates. Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are 5.77 times more likely in open surgeries than in minimally invasive surgeries, according to a study published in Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research. Reduced surgical risks, less pain and blood loss, lower chances of infection, and shorter postoperative recovery times are just a few of the benefits of minimally invasive surgeries, which are making them popular both among patients and healthcare providers. Therefore, these factors will boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Lack of awareness about the availability of advanced implants is a major challenge impeding market growth. Compared to developed nations, emerging economies exhibit lower awareness of new medical technology and equipment. The rise in procedural volumes of advanced implants in developing countries creates additional opportunities for manufacturers of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) devices to position their businesses in high-growth markets through physician training and awareness initiatives. Consequently, industry and company-sponsored training programs and workshops are becoming increasingly vital in the healthcare sector.

The titanium segment was valued at USD 3.13 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Metallic implants are frequently used in the orthopedic sector. Despite the huge volume of metallic medical devices and implants in use presently, most of them are made from a few specific metals like titanium. Some examples of titanium implants used in orthopedics include prosthetic hip and knee replacements in patients suffering from various types of arthritis that affect these joints, spinal fusion instruments to stabilize degenerating and unstable vertebral segments, and fracture fixation devices of various types, such as plates, screws, and intramedullary rods. Titanium 6AL-4V/Titanium 6Al4V ELI alpha-beta alloys that are made from roughly 90% of titanium, 6% of aluminum, and 6% of vanadium are among the most popular alloys used in medical and dental implants. They enhance osseointegration by providing a high level of fracture resistance and working effectively inside the body. Therefore, these are the factors that are expected to maintain the dominance of the titanium segment in the market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 30% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The global market is currently dominated by North America, and this trend is likely to continue throughout the forecast period. The market dominance of the region is attributed to several factors, including the increased prevalence of chronic diseases like arthritis, the presence of well-established insurance and reimbursement frameworks, and the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure. The market in this region is also growing due to the rising demand for medical implants and the availability of skilled medical professionals, growth in the number of patients seeking treatments in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and the availability of products. Additionally, the knee medical implant market is expected to grow due to an increasing number of patients undergoing knee and hip replacement surgery. Most older adults suffer from various orthopedic and heart ailments, and middle-class families in this region are investing more in healthcare as their per capita disposable income increases. As a result, the regional market is expected to grow at a fast pace during the forecast period.
The US is the major contributor to the North American market, owing to the high popularity of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), high adoption of technologically advanced products, and growing healthcare expenditure on orthopedic procedures. In addition, the growing geriatric population, increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and demand for cardiac implants will also contribute to market growth in the US. In terms of revenue, Canada is the second-largest contributor to the regional market owing to the rising number of hand and foot injuries, increasing research in institutes such as the University of Toronto, and growing demand for implanted medical devices. All these factors will boost the market growth in North America during the forecast period.
