The orthopedic devices industry is witnessing significant growth due to an aging global population and the rise of musculoskeletal conditions triggered by obesity and sedentary lifestyles. 3D printing technology and robot assisted surgeries are expected to have a huge impact on the market, leading to greater accessibility and customization of surgery. Minimally invasive surgical procedures and innovative biodegradable implants will increase the importance of orthopedic devices in the near future.
