South America Arthroscopy Procedures and Products Market Analysis

The growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and rising number of sports injuries requiring arthroscopy procedures are the key factors driving the market. Furthermore, increased prevalence of obesity is accelerating the growth of the South America arthroscopic procedure and products market.

South America Arthroscopy Procedures and Products Market Overview

Musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are becoming increasingly common in South America due to sedentary lifestyles, rising obesity rates, and aging population. The statistics released by the National Library of Medicine in 2022 revealed the overall prevalence of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, as determined by a physician, in adult patients varied from 1.55% in Peru to 7.44% in Ecuador. As a result, there is a greater need for advanced arthroscopic procedures and products that can provide effective treatment options with minimal invasiveness and faster recovery times. Additionally, the increasing adoption of arthroscopic procedures in South America can be attributed to the advancements in technology and healthcare infrastructure, which have made these procedures more accessible. According to the Rheumatology Advisor 2019 report, in Brazil, the annual knee arthroplasty increased by 56% in 2020, i.e., 1,065,000 replacements; it will increase by 110% in 2025, i.e., 1,272,000 replacements.

South America Arthroscopy Procedures and Products Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Number of Sports Injuries Requiring Arthroscopy Procedure Favors Market Growth

Football, basketball, and tennis are highly popular sports in South America. With increasing participation in these sports, injuries among athletes are on the rise. According to data released by SciELO in August 2023, women participation in sports stood at 16.9% and men at 31.7% in Brazil. Moreover, the growing emphasis on physical fitness and an active lifestyle has increased sports participation among people of all age groups in South America. This has further contributed to the rise in sports-related injuries and, subsequently, the demand for arthroscopic procedures

Arthroscopy is a preferred method for diagnosing and treating sports injuries, as it allows for a minimally invasive approach, faster recovery times, and reduced post-operative pain compared to open surgery. Anterior cruciate ligament tears are among the most common sports injuries requiring arthroscopic surgery. As patients are now more informed about the advantages of minimally invasive procedures, arthroscopic procedures and products are gaining traction for treating sports injuries.

Increasing Prevalence of Obesity to Create Significant Opportunities

Obesity has a considerable effect on the musculoskeletal system, resulting in the degeneration of bones, cartilage, and ligaments. According to the study published by Nature Research Publications, in 2022, in Brazil, epidemiological studies have also shown an increase in the prevalence of obesity in adults from 12.5% in 2002 to 25.9% in 2019. This massive prevalence of obesity is majorly due to unhealthy habits such as consumption of junk food, sedentary lifestyle, genetic conditions, and deprivation of mental health. Overweight conditions among players and athletes can lead to the increasing prevalence of sports injuries. For instance, according to a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2015, athletes with a BMI index of more than 30 kg/m2 are highly susceptible to sports injuries.

Obesity is associated with osteoarthritis, a chronic, chronic joint condition caused by increased force across the joint and other pro-inflammatory factors such as inflammation throughout the body. According to the Obesity Action Coalition, obese people are 60% more likely to develop arthritis than normal-weight people. BMI values enhance joint pain symptoms and severity.
