It is usually caused by an external cause such as road accidents, and major damage can lead to severe outcomes. According to WHO, every year 9% of mortality is caused because of trauma injuries across the globe. Publisher€™s market research analysts estimate the global orthopedic trauma devices market to grow successfully and post a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period.
High prevalence of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly population (aged 60 and above) is one of the major factors influencing the growth of the market. The aging population being more prone towards joint-related complications will increase the demand for trauma devices, thereby contributing to market growth during the forecast period. Osteoarthritis is the most common joint problem in developed countries such as the US and the UK.
Segmentation by material and analysis of - metals and non-metals
The non-metals that are most commonly used in the orthopedic trauma devices are polymers, ceramics, and composites. The use of natural polymers such as collagen, fibrin, and hyaluronic acid have resulted in good biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties. Even though these materials have low mechanical stability they are used as scaffolds for tissue engineering.
