Spinal Implants Market

Global Spinal Implants Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global spinal implants market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.34% during the forecast period and the global market size is estimated to be worth USD 22.39 Billion by 2029 from USD 17.27 Billion in 2024.

Most surgeries are not needed in spinal conditions/disorders; however, there are times when they cannot be avoided. When that happens, these deformities are corrected using specially designed spinal instruments that strengthen and stabilize the spine and facilitate fusion. Stainless steel or titanium alloy is generally used to make spinal implants. Sometimes non-metallic compounds are also used.

Global Spinal Implants Market Drivers:

Augmenting the geriatric and obese population, technological advancements in spine surgery devices, rising incidence and prevalence of spinal disorders, and growing demand for minimally invasive spine surgery are the primary factors driving the growth of the global spinal implants market. According to the National Centre for Health Statistics, every 1 in 4 suffer from chronic low back pain. The flourishing cases of lower back pain end in sciatica or wear and tear conditions leading to conditions affecting the spine.

The global spinal implants market is likely to expand further during the forecast period due to factors such as increasing demand for MI spine surgeries, availability of innovative spine implants due to the escalation in the approval process, and the emergence of custom fit and 3D printed spine implants. Increased focus on novel product developments to achieve maximum efficiency and high performance, and the rapidly growing adoption rate of robotic-assisted surgeries are the factors that are expected to boost growth opportunities for the spine implants market during the forecast period. The research and development proposals for spinal treatments, advancements in healthcare infrastructure, and government funds for research and development of new spine treatment devices accumulate market growth. 

Global Spinal Implants Market Restraints:

High costs involved with the surgeries of spinal implants are one of the major factors hampering the market growth. Limited insurance coverage for spinal implant surgeries in some countries and technological limitations hinder market growth. In addition, the stringent regulatory environment for spinal implants, the scarcity of skilled professionals, and the competition from alternative treatments are impeding the growth of the spinal implant market. The growing preference for non-surgical treatment options, side-effects associated with spinal surgeries, and poor awareness levels among patients and healthcare providers regarding the benefits of spinal implants are showcasing a negative impact on the market’s growth rate. Product failures, limited availability of certain implant materials and components, and ethical concerns related to the use of animal-derived materials in some spinal implants are some other notable factors acting as obstacles to the market’s growth rate.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the spinal implants market:

The global spinal implant market has experienced a negative impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for spinal implants has been slashed due to the postponement of elective surgeries and limited access to healthcare facilities for patients suffering from spinal disorders, as priority has been given to COVID-19 patients. The supply chain disruptions have further impacted the market growth negatively. The manufacturing and distribution of spinal implants have been hampered due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and other logistical challenges. During COVID-19, many patients did not opt for spinal implant surgeries and chose alternative treatment options to address their treatment needs. However, the spinal implants market is expected to experience a favorable situation from here on as many healthcare facilities have learned to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic and working at an increased capacity to meet the growing demand for spinal implant surgeries. The manufacturers have seen this as a significant opportunity to innovate and develop new products to meet the changing needs of the healthcare system. Likewise, the spinal implants market is anticipated to recover quickly from the COVID-19 pandemic and post a healthy CAGR during the forecast period.
