Global Markets for Devices in Spine Surgery, Forecast to 2020
The market for spinal implants and associated spinal fusion products has evolved dramatically over the last several decades as a result of significant advances in the understanding of spinal biomechanics, the proliferation of sophisticated spinal instrumentation devices, surgical advances in bone fusion techniques, refinement of anterior approaches to the spine and the emergence and development of microsurgical, minimally invasive methods and robotics.
The market for spinal implants and associated spinal fusion products has evolved dramatically over the last several decades as a result of significant advances in the understanding of spinal biomechanics, the proliferation of sophisticated spinal instrumentation devices, surgical advances in bone fusion techniques, refinement of anterior approaches to the spine and the emergence and development of microsurgical, minimally invasive methods and robotics. As a result of these advances it is now possible to stabilize every segment of the spine successfully, regardless of the offending pathology.
Prior to these developments, the orthopedic industry had traditionally regarded spinal surgery as a “Cinderella” segment that — far from being a major market segment — was almost regarded as a service area supporting a relatively small number of highly specialized surgeons focusing on the clinical issues associated with the vertebral column. In contrast, by the beginning of the new millennia it became clear that an orthopaedic industry seeking to provide optimized earnings and value to share holders had identified this area as a major unmet need in which the demand to resolve an increasingly wide range of spinal conditions was growing exponentially.
MedMarket Diligence, LLC, has completed an analysis entitled, “Global Market For Medical Device Technologies in Spine Surgery, 2014-2020″. The report (#M540) will be published August 21, 2015, and will be downloadable in PDF and available in print for single, site, and global licenses. The report is described in detail, with a complete table of contents and list of exhibits, at link.
