Global orthopedic soft tissue repair market was valued at USD 5.9 Billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 6.3%) between 2021 and 2028. Market growth is expected to be driven by an increase in soft tissue injuries caused by the aging population, increased obesity, and injuries sustained during sports and other physical activities. Other factors that will drive demand for orthopedic soft tissues repair therapies include innovations in therapies and devices, increasing R&D activities, healthcare awareness, and a shortage of treatments. Market growth will also be boosted by the introduction of new technologies such as bioprinting, biological meshes and biofabrication. CoNextions TR from CoNextions Medical, for example, is faster than traditional suture-approach repairs and allows patients to recover quicker.
Over the forecast period, the market will be impacted by the rapid increase in sports-related injuries and the rapid growth of athletes. Soft tissue injuries are most common in sports activities. ACL injuries can cause mobility problems for athletes. Safe Kids Worldwide found that young athletes visit emergency rooms more than one million times per year for sports-related injuries. Growing career options and a growing interest in fitness have led to more people choosing sports as a hobby, or as a career. This, in turn, will increase their risk of sustaining injuries. According to Standard Children's Health in the U.S.A, approximately 3.5 million kids and teens are injured each year, out of 30,000,000 children and teenagers who participate in sports.
The increase in life expectancy has resulted in a rise in the number of geriatrics, which is expected continue to grow. The skeletal and neuromuscular systems of the elderly can undergo significant changes, including arthritis, weak ligaments and ACL tear. Global demand for orthopedic soft tissue repairs has increased due to an increase in the elderly population. The geriatric population continues to grow rapidly. According to the Population Reference Bureau, the population of Americans 65 and older is expected to double in 2019. It was estimated that by 2060, the total number of Americans will be 95 million. This figure would increase from 52 million Americans in 2018, to 95 million in 2060. The population 65 and over is expected to increase from 16% to 23%. The market for orthopedic soft tissue repairs will continue to grow because of the increasing demand for long-term and acute healthcare services.
Another factor driving significant market growth is the rising awareness of orthopedic soft tissue repair. A number of neuromuscular training programs have been developed for athletes. They are expected to help reduce the risk of ACL injuries and other injuries. Awareness about osteoporosis is increasing, which is the most common disease in people over 70. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), hip fractures will increase from 1.66 Million in 1990 to 6.26 Million in 2050. This disorder is increasing in prevalence, which can cause an increase in the economic burden of various countries and drive market growth.

This segment is seeing increasing numbers of hip pathology such as labral tears, chondral injury, and ligamentum Teres lesions in the hips. These conditions are difficult to treat with physiotherapy and market players are looking for innovative treatments.
North America was the dominant market for orthopedic soft tissue repair and held the largest revenue share at 45.7% in 2020. This is due to the increasing number of knee arthroscopies in the region. According to an Osteoarthritis Society International article, 700,000. of the 1,000,000 knee arthroscopies that are performed each year in the U.S.A, 700,000. involved the meniscus. The key driver of regional growth can also be attributed to increasing healthcare expenditures and investments in healthcare infrastructure. An increase in healthcare spending could make costly orthopedic soft tissue repair procedures more affordable. KFF data shows that the US's total national health spending increased from USD 3178 billion in 2015, to USD 3795 billion in 2019, according to NHE data.
The market for orthopedic soft tissues repair in Asia Pacific is expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period.
