Analyst Viewpoint
Growth in road accident-related injuries is a key factor that is driving the knee cartilage repair market size. Rise in sports-related injuries is also fueling market development. Furthermore, increase in geriatric population across the globe is boosting market progress.
Increase in prevalence of bone and joint pains among people due to the adoption of sedentary lifestyle is leading to a rise in the number of knee cartilage repair treatments. Easy access to healthcare facilities in developed regions is also bolstering the market value. Leading players are following the latest knee cartilage repair market trends and focusing on adopting advanced technologies to strengthen their product portfolio.
Cartilage has several functions, including the ability to resist compressive forces, enhance bone resilience, and provide support in bony areas where there is a need for flexibility. Knee cartilage repair, regeneration, and replacement are each used to treat injured knee cartilage, which does not heal on its own.
A procedure called autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is used to repair knee cartilage. Under this procedure, healthy cartilage cells are taken from the damaged knee, cultured in a lab for four to six weeks, and then these cells are injected into the damaged joint for regeneration with the surrounding cartilage.
A surgeon can assist new cartilage growth by making small cuts or abrasions in the bone underneath the injured cartilage. Cartilage regeneration, along with strengthening muscles around the joint, can help some patients delay joint replacement surgery for damaged joints.
Lack of road safety is a major factor that is leading to an increase in the number of road accidents across the globe. Sport-related injuries include sprains, tendinitis, strains, bursitis, fractures, and dislocations. These injuries are often caused by inadequate safety measures.
Sports and road-related injuries can be treated with minimally invasive surgeries depending on their severity. Growth of the knee cartilage repair industry is driven by the increase in road accidents across the globe. For instance, the National Road Safety Authority recorded an increase of 42.5% in fatalities and 9.1% in accidents in Portugal in 2021 as compared to that in 2020.
Sports-related injuries are often caused due to excessive stress on muscles and lack of training. According to a study conducted by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons in 2023, the most injured body parts were head and face (24.2%), ankle (17.6%), and knee (14.1%). Among these, 36.8% of injuries were sprains and strains, while 21.6% were concussions.
Bone and joint disorders are highly prevalent among the geriatric population. These may often lead to neuromuscular disorders. Neuromuscular diseases affect muscle functioning; they weaken back and lower body parts.
Growth in the geriatric population across the globe is one of the prominent knee cartilage repair market drivers. According to the World Health Organization, one in six people would be 60 years or older by 2030. The population of people aged 60 years and above is slated to increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030. The global population of people aged 60 years and above is likely to reach around 2.1 billion by 2050.
Advanced knee cartilage regeneration technologies are being adopted by surgeons to carry out minimally invasive surgeries and treat neuromuscular disorders. Rise in prevalence of bone and joint injuries among people is augmenting the demand for knee cartilage repair.
Significant development of healthcare facilities and availability of treatments are bolstering market dynamics, especially in developing regions. Increase in joint pains among the geriatric population is also driving the meniscus knee tear treatment market.
Physicians prefer cell-based cartilage resurfacing, as it offers several benefits such as generation of cartilaginous tissues in articular cartilage and long-term stabilization of the cartilage. According to the knee cartilage repair market forecast, the cell-based cartilage resurfacing segment is likely to hold dominant share during the forecast period.
In cell-based cartilage resurfacing, chondrocytes are enzymatically released from a biopsy of cartilage taken from a healthy area of the joint, expanded in monolayer culture, and then implanted in the defect under a periosteal flap or a synthetic membrane. This treatment may help restore degenerated cartilage to a healthy state.
According to regional knee cartilage repair market insights, North America is expected to account for the largest industry share in the near future. Steady growth in geriatric population and increase in incidence of disorders such as musculoskeletal, orthopedic, neuromuscular, and sports injuries are driving market expansion. Easy availability of knee replacement therapies is another factor augmenting the demand for knee cartilage repair treatments in North America.
Growth in research and development activities to simplify complex surgeries and incorporation of minimally invasive surgeries in knee transplants are boosting the knee joint regeneration market in North America. Presence of a well-established healthcare infrastructure is also creating lucrative knee cartilage repair market opportunities for companies operating in the sector.
Prominent knee cartilage repair market manufacturers are focusing on incorporating recent business trends in order to launch advanced treatments. They are implementing new product launches and business acquisition strategies to fortify their position.
Companies are also enhancing their product portfolio and increasing the availability of bone and joint treatments. Furthermore, they are adopting advanced technologies to provide minimally invasive procedures and ensure faster recovery rates among patients.
