Furthermore, growing technological improvements such as minimally invasive operations, as well as the availability of enhanced implant materials, are expected to drive the segment growth.
The extremities segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Mobile-bearing ankles, reverse shoulder implants, and the introduction of novel and safer implant materials are just few examples of technological advancements in the realm of extremities surgery and implants. Furthermore, new shoulder replacement products from industry leaders such as Exactech, Lima, and Middata are boosting the segment growth.

Furthermore, their lower cost structure compared to hospitals, orthopedic clinics can provide cost-effective services and operations.
On the basis of regions, the market can be segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the joint replacement market in 2020. The demand for joint replacements in North America is expected to rise as a result of reasons such as the incidence of osteoarthritis, rising geriatric population, the availability of insurance coverage, and a number of trauma and accident cases. The rising frequency of orthopedic illnesses combined with the rapid acceptance of new products, is expected to drive the joint replacement market in the region.
The market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to increased healthcare spending, rapidly expanding healthcare infrastructure, and growing medical tourism in the region.
