The orthotic and prosthetic clinics segment was valued at USD 72.84 million in 2017. The orthotic and prosthetic clinics work closely with physicians and physiotherapists to provide personalized care. A prosthetist manufactures and adjusts the device according to the doctor's instructions. If necessary, doctors refer people to physical therapy to train the prosthesis to walk or occupational therapy to train the upper or lower extremities. These centers reduce treatment time, length of stay at the facility, and the cost of treatment and surgery. Hence, their acceptance is increasing, driving the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
The market is witnessing significant advancements in technology, enhancing the quality of life for individuals with limb loss or undergoing amputations. Innovations such as microprocessor-controlled prosthetics and body-powered prosthetics are revolutionizing the field, offering improved accuracy and functionality. Integration with brain-computer interface control allows for more intuitive use. Despite challenges like technological difficulties and training requirements, patient acceptance is increasing due to these prosthetics' robustness and functionality. As the population ages and chronic health conditions rise, the demand for advanced prosthetic solutions, leveraging robotics, sensor technologies, AI, and IoT, is expected to grow, driving further market expansion. 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 demand for customized prosthetics is notably driving the market growth. Amputation surgeries are on the rise in the United States. This is due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diabetes and an increase in accidents and injuries. A robotic prosthetic mimics the appearance and function of a missing body part. The type of prosthetic you need depends on size, stability, usage, and age. Therefore, people prefer customized robotic prosthetics based on their needs. Several major suppliers such as Ossur and The Ohio Willow Wood offer a wide range of custom robotics. For example, Ossur offers custom solutions such as custom sockets, custom liners, and complete legs.
With the growing demand for custom prosthetics, companies are indeed focusing on developing advanced custom robotic prosthetics. These aim to improve the quality of life for users by enhancing robustness, ensuring better patient acceptance, and integrating sensor technologies. Additionally, advancements in brain-computer interface control are helping to make these more intuitive and user-friendly. They use computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to manufacture prosthetics that can conform to the shape of the amputees' limbs. An adaptive laser is used to read the shape of the limb and send the data to a computer. The advent of technologies such as computer-assisted reshaping, 3D scanners, 3D printer integration, and automated engravers has allowed manufacturers to customize limbs. Hence, increasing demand will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The emergence of mind-controlled humonics is a key trend influencing the Market growth. The emergence of mind-controlled humonics solutions will change the dynamics of robotic prosthetics and orthotics in the long term. Humonics can address the unmet need for lost senses and volitional control. It also allows for the development of human-like aesthetics. Certain gestures are not possible with orthopedic prosthetics. Equipped with sensory feedback technology, humonics offers mind-controlled, user-centered prosthetic limbs that put the user in complete control. With advanced technology, such devices can transform the lives of people who have lost body parts to trauma or disease.
DEKA Research and Development is working on a mind-controlled prosthetic arm called LUKE, and Ossur is developing a mind-controlled humane solution that allows patients to voluntarily move a prosthetic limb. The company is working to develop the next generation of mind-controlled robotic prosthetics. Once approved and launched, these products will have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of prosthetics is challenging the Market growth. The cost is higher than that of conventional prosthetics, which affects the adoption of robotic prosthetics. For example, the average cost of conventional prosthetics ranges from USD 9,500 to USD 11,500, not including custom fitting costs. However, Microprocessor Controlled(MPC) and myoelectric prosthetics are expensive. Lack of adequate reimbursement also affects the adoption of robotic prosthetics. The average cost of electronic prosthetics is USD 35,000 to USD 55,000. The Genium X3, a high-end robotic knee prosthesis developed by Ottobock, costs around USD 120,000. The MPC knee is durable, intuitive, and technically advanced. Similarly, Michelangelo's electronic hand costs about USD 60,000.
Some healthcare providers offer advanced products to select patient groups. However, they are expensive. They require proper care and maintenance. Also, patients have to undergo rehabilitation, which increases the cost of treatment. Therefore, the high cost is likely to hamper the growth of the Market during the forecast period.
