The increasing cases of arthritis is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the orthopedic braces and support market. A significant proportion of the population in the US and Canada were diagnosed with some form of arthritis in 2017. The number of people with the condition is expected to grow exponentially by 2040. This will subsequently fuel the need for treatment options such as orthopedic braces and supports, driving the growth of the global market.

The pain and immobility associated with arthritis prevent patients from performing their daily tasks seamlessly. Most of the arthritis forms are chronic, and there is no permanent cure available. Therefore, orthopedic braces and supports are recommended for long-term management of the condition. These braces and support systems reduce pressure on affected joints and provide support to rebuild strength in them. The rising incidence of arthritis and the benefits of using orthopedic braces & supports to manage the condition will further improve the growth opportunities for the vendors of the market in the coming years.

The emergence of 3D printing to prototype orthopedic braces and supports is one of the key trends contributing to the growth of the market. Orthopedic specialists are using 3D printing to make customized braces and supports to suit the body type and bone structure of the patient. The comfort and improved support offered by these customized supportive frames are increasing their demand. As a result, 3D printing vendors are venturing into the global orthopedic braces & supports market. The prevailing use of technology will support the growth of the market in the coming years. As a result of these factors, the market will register over 5% CAGR during 2019-2023.
