Arthroscopy Market

The global arthroscopy market size is projected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising geriatric population as well as sport participation that are prone to injuries requiring arthroscopic procedures.

Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure to repair a joint and other related bone problems. This surgical procedure is minimally invasive and saves patients from total knee replacement. According to America Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, over 4 million knee arthroscopic surgeries are performed worldwide annually. Approximately 1.4 million shoulder arthroscopic procedures are performed worldwide as per the data provided by American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine. With the increasing sport injuries, there is wide demand for the introduction of improved versions and development in technology.

The COVID-19 situation has affected the market at a large scale as all the non-urgent surgeries were postponed and most of the hospitals were increasingly converted into COVID centers. The rising incidences of musculoskeletal disarray is expected to push the market growth positively during the forecast period. For instance, Ceterix launched minimally invasive NovoStitch, a device to be used for complex anatomical situations to ensure joint stich.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Increasing number of the global geriatric population and growing number of sports participation from adults are expected to drive the market growth.
• Development of innovative diagnostic technology and introduction of advanced treatment devices are projected to propel the market expansion.
