Overview of the spine implants market in the US
Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the spine implants market in the US will grow steadily and post a moderate CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period. The growing preference for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is one of the major factors driving this market’s growth. The traditional spinal surgeries have become outdated due to the increasing awareness and advantages of MIS including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and minor complications. Moreover, the overall cost of MIS procedure is lower than that of invasive procedures. These surgeries can also be performed in ASCs, which reduce the cost of hospital stays and post-operative costs considerably.
One of the emerging trends gaining significant traction in the market is the introduction of motion preservation or non-fusion spinal procedures. Spinal non-fusion procedures help in preventing motion and provides enhanced stability to the spine. Also, this procedure helps in post-operative motion restoration and has much better clinical outcomes than conventional procedures. The growing awareness among patients about the different procedures and better prospects have contributed to the rise in adoption of non-fusion technologies.
