In recent years, there has been a notable shift towards regenerative medicine and proactive care, especially concerning acute ankle injuries, ligament tears, and fractures commonly encountered during sports activities or fitness activities. Adolescents and children are increasingly benefiting from orthopedic devices designed to aid in their physical activity recovery. The healthcare landscape has also witnessed a rise in telemedicine, spurred by the increase in sports activities and the shift toward home-based fitness routines. This trend underscores a growing emphasis on preventive care and mental health, recognizing the importance of holistic wellness. Home-based fitness programs not only facilitate gradual recovery but also accommodate the decrease in sports activities seen in certain demographics. As we navigate these changes, integrating eco-friendly products and innovative approaches in regenerative medicine continues to shape the future of healthcare for adolescents and adults alike.
The increasing incidence of sports injuries is notably driving the market growth. Over the years, the sports industry has been growing rapidly and with it, sports injuries have been on the rise too. Especially in the global market, incidences of sports injuries have been a major concern for athletes and medical professionals. The increasing number of injuries in sports can be attributed to multiple factors, such as improper training techniques, lack of protective gear, and inadequate rehabilitation of injured athletes.
Further, the pressure of competing at a higher level, extreme training schedules, and the urge to win at all costs have also contributed to the rise in injuries. For instance, one of the most common injuries in sports is an ankle sprain and this wound occurs when the ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn, leading to pain and swelling. It is prevalent in sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Also, concussions are also a major concern in sports, especially in contact sports such as football and rugby. A concussion happens when there is a hurried blow to the head, leading to a disruption of normal brain function and symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Therefore, the rise in the number of sports injuries is anticipated to drive the demand for the market during the forecast period.
The rise in demand for minimally invasive surgeries is the primary trend driving the market growth. The global market has been witnessing a significant increase in demand for minimally invasive surgeries. One of the major advantages of minimally invasive surgeries is decreased trauma to the body compared with traditional open surgeries. For instance, many professional football players have undergone minimally invasive surgeries for their joint injuries, allowing them to get back to the field in a matter of weeks instead of months.
Furthermore, the rise in demand for minimally invasive surgeries is the advancement in technology. The use of robotics and computer-assisted technologies in minimally invasive surgeries has also improved. For example, the use of robotics in knee surgeries has significantly reduced the risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. However, the rising incidence of sports-related injuries is also driving the demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Due to their fast recovery time and minimal scarring, minimally invasive surgeries for common sports injuries have become increasingly prevalent. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The high cost of orthopaedic implants and other devices is the major challenge impeding market growth. Orthopaedic implants and other devices are used to support different parts of the human body, such as bones, joints, and muscles. These devices are necessary for individuals who have suffered an injury or have a medical condition that requires additional support or mobility aid. An example of a costly orthopaedic device is a prosthetic limb, while prosthetics have come a long way in recent years, they can still cost tens of thousands of dollars.
However, this high cost can be a significant burden for amputees, as many insurance plans do not cover the full cost of the device. With a high cost, orthotic inserts are another type of orthopaedic device. These inserts are used to support the foot and ankle and can cost more than USD 500, while they are an effective treatment for many foot conditions, the cost can be prohibitive for some patients. The high cost of orthopaedic impacts and other devices can also be a burden for athletes. For instance, a professional football player may need to wear specialized pads or braces to protect against injury. These devices can cost thousands of dollars and may not be covered by the insurance plan of the team. Therefore, such factors are expected to impede the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

The knee treatment segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 1.53 billion in 2018. Knee treatments such as surgery and rehabilitation are important aspects of the sports medicine sector to help treat and prevent ACL injuries. In addition, the sports medicine market provides different types of treatments, including physical therapy, medication, and surgery, to help athletes recover from this condition. However, knee osteoarthritis is a common ailment among athletes and it occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint breaks down, leading to pain and inflammation. This progressively restricts the capacity of the athlete to perform. Sports medicine treatment options include injections and surgical procedures, such as knee replacement surgery, to ease the pain and offer relief in knee treatment. Therefore, such factors are anticipated to propel the growth of the knee treatment segment in the global sports medicine market during the forecast period.
