Artificial Disc Replacement Market: Current Scenarios and Opportunities

The global artificial disc replacement market size was valued at USD 471.0 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% from 2021 to 2028.

The global Artificial Disc Replacement Market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.09 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a lucrative CAGR of 11.7% from 2021 to 2028. The key factors driving the market growth include the rising number of spinal surgeries across the globe, the growing aging population, high demand for surgical alternatives with less tissue disruption, and technological advancements. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in several challenges, such as logistical bottlenecks, low demand, and decreased sales & marketing activities.

This resulted from supply chain challenges, deferred or canceled elective procedures, and movement restrictions due to lockdowns. Zimmer Biomet, for instance, reported a negative impact of COVID-19 on its annual revenue for 2020. It reported a 12% decrease in its total revenues from 2019 to 2020. The company was also impacted by the postponed elective and semi-elective procedures that use Medtronic’s products. The reluctance of people for undergoing non-COVID-19 emergency procedures affected the company’s revenue.

The broader acceptance of surgical treatments along with less tissue disruption as well as patient trauma is expected to boost the growth of the market. Furthermore, market players are anticipating broader consolidation of vendors in the spine segment, which is also expected to provide opportunities in the market. This is further complemented by the rising number of technological advancements.

The market growth is also supported by the increasing number of clinical trials related to artificial discs by market players. For instance, Medtronic is sponsoring a clinical trial related to the Prestige LP Cervical Disc for treatment of the cervical degenerative disc disease, radiculopathy, and myelopathy. The study is expected to be completed by August 2022. Such activities provide various growth opportunities to the market.

Market players are investing in many strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, mergers, partnerships, and product launches, among others to maintain a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in February 2021, NuVasive, Inc. acquired Simplify Medical, developer of the Simplify Cervical Artificial Disc for cervical total disc replacement.
