COVID – 19 scenario analysis:Â
The casting and splinting market is expected to witness tremendous growth owing to factors like increasing incidence of trauma related to injuries due to sports activities and adventures and surge in cases of road accidents due to a myriad of factors causing extreme musculoskeletal injuries. Additionally, rising geriatric population coupled with high prevalence of orthopedic illness in elderly populace would boost the growth of casting and splinting market. Moreover, developments in casting and splinting use of manufacturing materials including use of polyester tape and fiberglass tape, which provides optimal levels of patient compliance as it facilitates quick removal using cast saw blade, improved X-ray radiolucency, smooth lamination have enabled the market development. Their abundance in market in several colors, sizes, patterns and customization options offers the consumers options while procuring these medical aids. In addition to this, development of casts featuring open-lattice plastic design would have positive impact on the market.
Although the advancements in technology would fuel the market, factors such as development of habit due to excessive immobilization as a result of constant use of casting or splinting often leads to complications such as muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and chronic pain. It can also result in extreme complications including compartment syndrome, pressure sores, and dermatitis. These factors may hamper the growth of the market worldwide. Moreover, the ill-practice of self-prescription of OTC ointments and analgesics to counter musculoskeletal pains and swelling can further impede the market growth of casting and splinting to a certain extent.

Asia-pacific region is expected to lead the casting and splinting market throughout. The dominance is due to factors like rise in the global prevalence of geriatric populace, rising cases of emergencies and road accidents, growth in adventures and sports activities leading to severe musculoskeletal injuries and higher adoption of technology in the region is propelling the market in the Asia-Pacific segment. Additionally, presence of densely populated states including India, Japan, China, and Korea having large number of cases of road accidents as well as orthopedic injuries that will result in boosting the demand for casting and splinting equipment. Furthermore, high number of manufacturing facilities, availability of cheap labor helps to keep the manufacturing costs for these equipment low, which will help in providing affordable equipment in bulk quantities to meet the industry requirement. High strain to get better health outputs at lower costs, and dense population base are the other factors fueling the market in the near future.
