Lower Extremity Devices Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Product, by Application, by Distribution channel : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022-2031

Lower Extremity Devices Market Research, 2031

The global lower extremity devices market was valued at $664.6 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,285.57 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031. Lower limbs are fitted with or attached to external devices known as lower extremity orthotics to improve function by providing support, controlling motion, reducing pain, correcting irregularities, and preventing the development of deformities. Every lower limb orthotic is specially made to fit the user's needs, and a podiatrist's thorough assessment and gait analysis are requirements.

Lower extremity devices market growth is driven by an increase in number of patients with bone degenerative diseases. The most prevalent disorders that cause bone degradation include osteoporosis, stress fractures, bone fractures, bone cancer, scoliosis, and osteoarthritis. In addition, one of the main causes of increase in bone-related disorders is traffic accidents. Pelvic bone fractures are considered to be shattered bones that occur most frequently following car accidents.
Furthermore, adopting a modern lifestyle also causes illnesses that increase the risk of trauma & fracture, and obesity & diabetes, which greatly raises the chance of degenerative joint disease. Moreover, one of the key factors driving lower extremity devices industry is the sharp increase in the elderly population. As geriatric population is more vulnerable to orthopedic disorders. This is explained by the fact that arthritis and osteoarthritis are just a couple of the orthopedic disorders that older individuals are particularly susceptible.
However, the low awareness about the benefits of extremity devices as well as the unfavorable reimbursement scenario for these products is expected to hinder the lower extremity devices industry growth. Conversely, the developing economies of the Asia-Pacific and LAMEA regions offer lucrative lower extremity devices market opportunity.

Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 epidemic is predicted to have a negative impact on the growth of the global lower extremity device market. However, throughout the epidemic, despite the recommendations to maintain social distance, many individuals treated their illnesses via self-medication or other unconventional methods. Manufacturing, logistical, and transportation activities were disrupted during the lockdown, which slowed market expansion. Compared to many other surgeries, most orthopedic procedures are more elective and can therefore be postponed without compromising morality. As a result, surgeries were postponed or cancelled during the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, and however, the market for is slowly recovering owing to vaccination drive which boosts the lower extremity devices market forecast.
