Orthopedic Industry: 2022 Outlook & Trends

Blog> Franchise

Like most trends in healthcare these days, specialty medicine is seeing profound growth, including the field of orthopedics. There are many emerging factors contributing to this escalation like the active but aging baby boomer generation, athletes — be it weekend warriors or professionals and injuries at any age.

Orthopedics itself focuses on musculoskeletal issues — bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. The field includes diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

This means that for those interested in owning an orthopedics business, the time is right. Currently, the orthopedic industry, like most healthcare fields, is recovering from the effects of the initial shutdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Meaning, due to health concerns early in 2020, many patients who may have needed care opted to wait due to safety concerns, which, in many cases, may have exacerbated their conditions.

What’s Trending

But back on track now, the orthopedic industry is seeing technological advances carried over from this year, like image-guided robotic surgery and innovative surgical and orthopedic devices. The field continues to advance in sports medicine — looking at new ways to improve athletic performance and safety. Plus, there continues to be growth in the emerging field of orthobiologics. Considered a part of regenerative medicine, orthobiologics refers to the use of natural biologics found in your body to help treat musculoskeletal muscle and bone issues.

Orthobiologic Growth in 2022

The global orthobiologics market is forecast to reach a value of $8.7 billion by 2027. Contributing factors to that number are driven by the rise in the geriatric population and lifestyle changes, coupled with the growth of sports and outdoor activities among both the older and younger generations.

First, let’s look at the major factor in the growth of the orthobiologic market. Based on information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 55 million adults here in the U.S. have been diagnosed with arthritis, which is about one in every four people. As the baby boomer generation grows, that number will climb. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the senior population is projected to reach 77 million by 2034. Medical professionals will need to treat these patients. Thus, the high prevalence of chronic arthritis is expected to propel growth of the global orthobiologics market in the coming years, as physicians look for surgical alternatives.

Not only is this generation active and living longer, but they are also well-informed and carry high expectations when it comes to their care. The orthopedic industry, along with most medical fields, is seeing patients who have researched and are well-versed on possible treatment options and demand quality care.

That demand is fueling a shift in the orthopedic industry as well as other medical specialties. Patients, tired of having high insurance premiums, being denied coverage, and battling mounds of paperwork, are welcoming cash transactions in healthcare. This is why, according to The Business Research Company, the concierge medicine market size is expected to reach $1.93 trillion in 2025.
