Orthopedic Braces And Supports Market Growth & Trends
The global orthopedic braces and supports market size is expected to reach USD 7.01 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Key factors propelling the market growth include the growing incidence of injury & trauma, the prevalence of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and increasing technological advancements. For instance, in March 2023, Aspen Medical Products, a mobility and pain management solutions provider, partnered with NICE Recovery Systems (NICE) to launch integrated bracing and cold compression solutions for pain management and post-operative care to patients recovering from surgery or injury.
Osteoporosis is a leading cause of musculoskeletal and joint disorders among the older population, increasing the demand for orthopedic braces. Older individuals are prone to experiencing various musculoskeletal ailments, making them a key demographic driving the market demand for orthopedic braces and supports. For instance, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, annually, osteoporosis causes over 8.9 million fractures across the globe, resulting in an osteoporosis fracture every 3 seconds. Similarly, according to the same source, osteoporosis affects approximately 6.3% of men over the age of 50 and 21.2% of women over the age of 50 globally.
As people age, significant changes occur in their neuromuscular and skeletal systems, making them more susceptible to weak arthritis, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and ligament tears. The older population is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period, further driving the demand for orthopedic braces and supports.
The growing prevalence of sport-related injuries is another significant factor contributing to pain, disability, or restricted movement, thereby driving the demand for orthopedic braces and supports. For instance, in Europe, sports injuries account for around 6.2 million people annually. Furthermore, in the U.S., it is projected that 30 million children and adolescents participate in youth sports; among them, 2 million individuals account for sports injuries.

Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic and acute conditions, such as arthritis and sports injuries, further boosts the demand for orthopedic braces and supports. Major companies in the market are actively involved in initiatives to improve product offerings and expand their market presence, which is expected to contribute to the overall market growth. For instance, in February 2021, BREG, Inc, a provider of billing services and orthopedic bracing, introduced two new product lines called Pinnacle and Ascend. These product lines consist of 15 orthopedic braces specifically designed for patients with spinal injuries. The launch of these new product lines signifies the company’s expansion of its product portfolio, allowing it to offer a broader range of solutions to meet the needs of patients with spinal injuries.
Injuries associated with sports are rising due to the increasing number of sports activities. Athletes involved in fitness-related pursuits, including cycling, running, and others, are particularly susceptible to physical injuries, including ligament injuries. Indoor athletes, in particular, face a high threat of ankle ligament tears, leading to a significant demand for ankle braces. For instance, according to the National Safety Council, in the U.S., 445,642 and 409,224 exercise and exercise equipment injuries were reported in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, ankle braces are commonly recommended for recovery from acute ankle sprains. Athletes utilize orthopedic braces to safeguard themselves from injuries during sports activities. These braces aid in restricting unwanted movements during matches, allowing athletes to play with greater ease and convenience.
