2024: Global Orthopedic Implants Market Size Reaches $47.38 Billion for the Year

In 2024, costs in the global orthopedic implant market amounted to $47.38 billion. More than half of this amount fell on the North American region. This is stated in a study by Fortune Business Insights, the results of which were published on September 18, 2025.

Orthopedic implants are special medical devices that are designed to replace a missing joint or bone or to support a damaged bone. Such articles may be made using stainless steel and titanium alloys, polymers and ceramics. Implants are used, in particular, in hip and knee arthroplasty, spinal surgery, etc.

One of the drivers of the analytics market is the increase in the prevalence of orthopedic diseases - pathologies and deformations of the musculoskeletal system. They range widely, from acute and short-term events such as fractures and dislocations to lifelong impairment, accompanied by persistent decline in functionality and disability.

The study says that the increase in the number of elderly people exacerbates the problem of orthopedic diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that people aged 60 and over will make up one-sixth of the planet's inhabitants by 2030. By this time, their number will increase to 1.4 billion people against 1 billion in 2020. And by 2050, as expected, their number will double, amounting to 2.1 billion people. At the same time, over the period from 2015 to 2050, the share of the world's population over the age of 60 will almost double, rising from 12% to 22%. Elderly people are more susceptible to orthopedic ailments, which leads to an increase in the number of operations in this area, and therefore to an increase in the demand for the corresponding implants.

Another significant stimulating factor is technological innovations in the field of medicine. The use of 3D printing equipment allows you to create personalized implants that take into account the anatomical features and needs of a particular patient. This increases the effectiveness of operations, reduces the likelihood of complications and speeds up rehabilitation. At the same time, the use of artificial intelligence opens up new opportunities in the field of implant design and operation planning. In addition, manufacturers of medical products are introducing advanced materials.

Depending on the type of products, the market is segmented into joint reconstruction products, spinal implants, trauma devices, etc. In 2024, the largest revenue was brought by decisions of the first type - 46.8%. From a geographical point of view, North America leads, which accounted for 55.4% of expenses, or $26.26 billion. At the same time, the Asia-Pacific region is demonstrating the most active development. Significant players on a global scale are:

• Zimmer Biomet;
• Johnson & Johnson Services;
• Smith+Nephew;
• Stryker;
• Agilent Technologies;
• Conmed Corporation;
• Medtronic;
• DJO LLC;
• Exactech;
• Corin Group;
• Conformis;
• United Orthopedic;
• Medacta International;
• Globus Medical;
• B. Braun SE.

In 2025, the global orthopedic implant market is expected to reach $49.73 billion. Fortune Business Insights analysts predict that in the future, the CAGR will be 5.4%. Thus, by 2032, costs may increase to $71.74 billion.^[1]
