Market Insights and Analyst View:
A bone stimulator is a device that generates an electric current that enhances bone growth. It uses pulsed electromagnetic or ultrasonic waves. It is important to use a bone stimulator every day for effective treatment. Bone stimulators have two types: external and surgically implanted into the affected bone area. External bone growth stimulators are portable devices that one can wear on the outside of the body (even over a cast or brace) using straps to secure them in place. External stimulators can also be placed about anywhere on the body or over the site of a bone fracture. Internal bone growth stimulators are surgically implanted. Orthopedic doctors often prescribe bone growth stimulation following a spinal fusion surgery (lumbar or cervical).
Factors that positively affect the Bone Growth Stimulator Market are the growing burden of bone and joint disorders across the globe, which boosts the need for Bone Growth Stimulator. Also, the rising demand for non-invasive or minimally invasive surgeries and the increasing aging population are driving investment in the Bone Growth Stimulator market.
Growth Drivers:
The geriatric population has been rising significantly worldwide. The rise in geriatric population in developed countries such as the US, the UK, Canada, and Japan, and developing countries such as China, India, and South Korea is driven by the modernization of healthcare facilities and improvements in healthcare services, which has boosted the life expectancy in these countries. An increase in life expectancy is leading to a rising geriatric population globally. According to the data presented by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2021, the geriatric population is estimated to rise from 12% in 2015 to 22% by 2050. In addition, according to the US Census Bureau, the number of people in the US aged 65 and above is anticipated to grow from 46 million in 2016 to more than 98 million by 2060; their population share would increase from ~15% to ~24% during this period. According to the United Nations World Population Ageing 2017 report, in 2017, Europe had the highest percentage of people over the age of 60 (25%). Other regions of the world are also experiencing accelerated aging. By 2050, all regions except Africa will have approximately a quarter or more of their populations aged 60 and over. The geriatric population in the world is anticipated to reach US$ 1.4 billion, US$ 2.1 billion, and above USD 3.1 billion by 2031, 2050, and 2100, respectively. Moreover, underdeveloped and developing countries would account for ~80% of this growth.
The incidence rate of osteoporosis among the elderly population is high, and age is one of the important reasons for the occurrence of a spinal fracture. With growing age, bones become thinner and stronger. In osteoporosis disease, bones become weaker and are more likely to break. As the population ages, the demand for total knee osteoarthritis (TKA) is projected to increase among people in their eighties.
Therefore, due to the increasing geriatric population and the surging incidence of osteoporosis, the bone growth stimulator market is anticipated to witness significant growth.
