Market Share and Segmentation
The market is intricately segmented to address diverse clinical and lifestyle needs:
By Product: Knee braces and supports hold the largest revenue share (approx. 35-40%). This dominance is due to the high incidence of ACL/PCL injuries and the rising burden of knee osteoarthritis. Other significant segments include ankle, back/spine, and upper extremity supports.
By Type: Soft and elastic braces dominate the market share (over 50%) due to their comfort, affordability, and high adoption in preventive care. However, hinged braces are expected to see the fastest growth through 2030 as demand for stabilizing post-operative solutions increases.
By Application: Ligament injury rehabilitation remains the leading application. Nevertheless, the post-operative recovery segment is projected to grow most rapidly as healthcare systems prioritize early mobilization to reduce hospital stay durations.
By Distribution Channel: While orthopaedic clinics and hospitals remain the primary points of sale (48% share), e-commerce platforms are the fastest-growing channel, expanding at a CAGR of over 8% as consumers seek direct-to-home convenience.
