The global meniscus repair system market was valued at $458.6 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,046.6 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2022 to 2031. A meniscus tear is an injury to a part of the knee called the meniscus and is a common injury. The menisci are two crescent-shaped pads of thick, rubbery shock-absorbing cartilage in the knee joint. Meniscal Repair System is intended for use in meniscal repairs and meniscal allograft transplant procedures. Arthroscopic meniscus repair is an outpatient surgical procedure to repair torn knee cartilage. The torn meniscus is repaired by a variety of minimally invasive techniques and requires postoperative protection to allow healing. These systems typically include a set of specialized instruments and devices used during arthroscopic surgery to repair the meniscus. There are different types of meniscus repair systems available in the market such as all-inside meniscal repair system, outside-in meniscal repair system, and others.

Historical overview
The market was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively from 2021 to 2031. The meniscus repair system market experienced growth at a CAGR of around 8.6% from 2021 to 2031. Most of the growth during this period was derived from the North America owing to the rise in the number of key players who manufacture meniscus repair system, increase in disposable incomes, as well as well-established presence of domestic companies in the region.
Market Dynamics
Growth of the global meniscus repair system market is majorly driven by rise in the prevalence of osteoarthritis, increase in the incidence of sports injuries and rise in the number of product launch and product approval for meniscus repair system. Increase in the number of patients suffering from osteoarthritis is the key factor fueling the demand for meniscus repair systems which are used for replacement or repairment of the meniscus. Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of meniscus damage due to the degeneration of cartilage in the joint. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears down, it causes friction and inflammation in the joint, which can lead to injury or tearing of the meniscus. As a result, the demand for meniscus repair systems, such as surgical procedures and implant systems, increases as more individuals seek treatment for their osteoarthritis-related meniscus injuries, which, in turn, contribute towards the market growth. For instance, according to the data published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2021, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and about 58.5 million people suffer from arthritis, thus rise in prevalence of osteoarthritis cases is expected to drive the growth of meniscus repair systems market. In addition, rise in incidences of knee osteoarthritis further increases the demand for meniscus repair systems. For instance, according to the data published by National Center for Biomedical Information (NCBI), in November 2020, around 86.7 million individuals aged 20 years and older are suffering from knee osteoarthritis in 2020 globally. Therefore, increase in incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis boost the growth of the market.
Rise in technological advancement and increase in research and development activities by market key players in the field of meniscus repair implants and systems boost the growth of the market. Meniscus repair system have undergone several developments in the recent years such as advancement in minimally invasive arthroscopy techniques have become the standard for meniscus repair, as they allow for smaller incisions and faster recovery times. For instance, Meniscal Root Avulsions system, offered by Arthrex Inc. allow for minimally invasive RetroConstruction repair technique which helps to preserve bone while performing meniscal root repair. Furthermore, biologic implants, such as those made from animal tissue or synthetic materials, are being used to repair or replace damaged meniscus tissue. These implants are designed to mimic the properties of natural meniscus tissue, which can lead to improved outcomes. Therefore, all the aforementioned advancements in meniscus repair systems aim to provide less invasive, more precise, and efficient ways of treating meniscus injuries, which further increases the demand for meniscus repair systems and contribute towards the market growth.
Increase in cases of sport injuries is a major cause of meniscus tears. Sport injuries caused by twisting or turning the knee while bearing weight, such as during a pivot in basketball or soccer. These types of movements can cause the meniscus tears. For instance, according to American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeon (AAOS) study in 2019, about 25% of sport injuries are related to foot, ankle, and knees. In addition, according to report published by National Safety Council of U.S. 2022, stated that, in 2021, 20% rise in sports and recreational injuries was observed as compared to 2020, thus rise in number of sport related injuries is expected to drive the growth of market.
On the other hand, high cost of meniscus repair surgeries is anticipated to limit the adoption of meniscus repair systems during the forecast period. Meniscus repair surgeries are costly as it requires specialized medical equipment and technology such as robotic assisted surgery systems and arthroscopy instruments which are expensive. In addition, meniscus repair surgeries are complex and require a skilled surgeon and their services can be costly. Therefore, the expensive surgical cost is unaffordable by the few patients, which negatively affect the growth of the market. For instance, the meniscal tear surgery cost is about $7,400-9,000 and varies depending on the age of patient. Moreover, meniscus repair systems, surgery and other related cost raise the overall cost of surgery. Thus, high cost of meniscus repair surgeries hampers the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the meniscus repair systems market as many elective surgeries including those for meniscus repair, were delayed or cancelled during the initial wave of the pandemic. This measure is taken to keep hospital beds and healthcare providers available for COVID-19 patients, as well as reduces viral transfer among patients and between patients and hospital staff. This resulted in a decline in demand for meniscus repair systems and a slowdown in the growth of the market. For instance, according to an article published by National Center for Biomedical Research (NCBI), in June 2020, the number of orthopedic injuries were decreased during the pandemic, which, in turn, decreased the demand for meniscus repair systems. Hence, the meniscus repair systems market is negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Segmental Overview
The meniscus repair system market share is segmented into Product, Application, End User and region. By product, the market is classified into all-inside meniscal repair system, inside-out meniscal repair system, outside-in meniscal repair system, and meniscal root repair system. By application, the market is divided into radial tear, horizontal tear, vertical tear, complex tear, and others.
