The market is expected to grow due to an increase in sports injuries, traumas, and orthopedic surgeries. According to the NFL Physicians Society (NFL Physicians Society), approximately 1.2 million football-related injury are sustained each year. Due to technological advances and the growing geriatric population, the market is expected to grow. Global market sales and demand were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Market growth was negatively affected by the pandemic, which led to a substantial reduction in procedural volume in 2020.
NuVasive, Inc. reported a 8% decline in net sales in the segment of spinal hardware and a 7% drop in volume. The market's biggest impact was caused by the postponement or cancellation of elective surgery during the pandemic. Many hospitals and specialty centers were also converted into COVID-19 treatment areas, which further decreased the number of procedures. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS Spine Care Institute) is an example of a specialist care musculoskeletal treatment centre.
All elective surgery, including spinal surgeries, was postponed between 17 March 2020 - 8 June 2020. The hospital was then converted to a COVID-19 treatment center. These factors have a negative impact on market growth. Many emerging markets have implemented healthcare reforms that increase access to treatment for a larger number of people. This is expected to boost the demand for products related to healthcare, including products for spinal surgery. Market growth will be driven by the increasing economic wealth in key emerging regions.

Patients suffering from degenerated discs due to back pain are eligible for artificial disc replacement surgery. According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), 80% of people experience back pain at some point in their lives. According to the American Chiropractic Association, low back pain is responsible for approximately USD 50 billion annually in healthcare expenses. Market growth will be supported by the growing geriatric population or target population that is more susceptible to back pain. The Population Reference Bureau projects that the number of Americans 65 and older will nearly double, from 52 million in 2018 up to 95 million by 2060. National Center for Biotechnology Information reports that 65 to 80% of older adults experienced musculoskeletal pain in April 2017. 36 to 70% suffered from back pain. These factors will increase the demand for artificial disk replacement procedures.
In 2020, the cervical disc replacement segment was responsible for more than half of the total revenue. This segment is expected to continue to hold the dominant position, growing at a CAGR of more than 12% between 2021 and 2028. This share is due to disc degeneration in cervical discs that are more common than lumbar discs. The segment's growth is expected to be aided by the large number of products for artificial cervical disc replacement.
The recovery time for lumbar disc replacements is shorter than other spinal procedures. The segment's growth is expected to be boosted by technological advances and research in this space.
In 2020, the metal + plastic segment had a 64% revenue share. Today, the majority of cervical total disc replacement implant designs that are FDA-approved in America include iterations on metal alloy-based superior and inferior prosthetic endplates. These endplates articulate with a central medical grade plastic core. Market growth is also fueled by the high success rate for metal + plastic artificial disc replacement procedures.
The metal segment will, however, be expected to experience the fastest CAGR at 13% over the forecast period. This is due to the increased number of research activities in the segment. Metals have the potential to remove long-term wear better than metal + plastic. Despite the huge opportunities, this segment holds the second largest market share. This is due to product recalls.
In 2020, North America was responsible for 48% of the total revenue. North America's large market share can be attributed to the presence and technology-equipped hospitals in the U.S.A and Canada. Europe accounted for the second largest market share. This is due to the high aging population in Europe and the prevalence of spinal conditions, which has led to an increase in disc replacement surgeries. According to the Federal Statistical Office, 17. In Germany, 2 million surgeries were performed in 2019.
These surgeries included endoscopic, spine, hip, and intestinal surgeries. This was a major reason for the region's growth. Asia Pacific will be the fastest growing regional market with a CAGR greater than 12% in the next few years. This is due to companies' investments to increase their regional presence as well as the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. It is expected to hold the lowest market share due to the poor healthcare sector in Africa and the Middle East.
