The global orthopedic 3D printing devices market size was valued at US$ 2.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 5.78 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2024 to 2032.
3D printing technology is extensively utilized within the field of orthopedics for the fabrication of bespoke implants, devices, and instruments. A notable benefit of employing 3D printing in orthopedics lies in its application for testing and planning purposes. Furthermore, 3D printing has found utility in orthopedic practices for preoperative planning and in educating both students and patients regarding surgical procedures. The ability to subject therapies or implants to rigorous testing on accurate replicas is of paramount importance.
Factors Influencing Market Growth
- The increasing incidences of various musculoskeletal disorders coupled with rising awareness about 3D printing implants among patients which are expected to increase demand for orthopedic 3D printing devices globally.
- There is an increasing use of 3D printing for the fabrication of standard-sized orthopedic implants, patient-matched implants for individuals who have typical bone and joint anatomy, and custom 3D-printed implants for individuals with bone or joint deformities.
- The cost of specialized materials used in orthopedic 3D printing, such as biocompatible metals and polymers, can be high. Expensive materials increase the overall cost of producing 3D-printed orthopedic devices, making them less accessible for some patients and healthcare providers and this may further constrain the market's growth potential.
COVID-19 Impact
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the expansion of the worldwide market for orthopedic 3D printed devices experienced a notable deceleration, attributed to disruptions in supply chain activities and the suspension of manufacturing operations in North America. Nonetheless, in 2021, the commencement of extensive vaccination campaigns facilitated the lifting of lockdowns and travel limitations, thereby enabling the resumption of manufacturing activities. These circumstances are anticipated to propel the market during the projected period.
Regional Analysis
North America is projected to account for the highest revenue share of the global market expansion over the specified forecast period. Among the North American countries significantly contributing to the market's growth, the United States and Canada stand out. This is attributed to a variety of factors, including the enhancement of healthcare infrastructure, the high rate of adoption of orthopedic 3D printing devices within healthcare facilities, the presence of established market players, and the rising number of joint replacement surgeries.
