Rise in Geriatric and Obese Population Supporting Demand for Orthopedic Braces & Supports, Casts, & Splints

One of the main factors driving the demand for orthopedic braces and supports, casts, and splints is the reported rise in sports injuries across the globe. This factor is most likely to impact the market for foot and ankle devices in particular. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) states that an estimated 25% of sports injuries are related to lower extremities such as ankle and foot.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year, over 2.6 million children between the ages of 0 and 19 are treated in the emergency department for sports and recreation-related injuries. Serious bone injuries have also been reported among professionals as well as amateur sportsmen, strengthening the demand for orthopedic braces and supports, casts, and splints.

"A continuous growth in geriatric as well as obese population is also a major factor driving the demand for orthopedic braces and supports, casts, and splints," the lead analyst states. Geriatrics are more susceptible to bone disorders such as arthritis, back pain, and osteoporosis. The same is true for the obese, wherein the accumulation of excessive fat and cholesterol results in the increase in body weight, causing severe pressure on the joints in the lower extremity.
