The increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the orthopedic splints market in the coming years. Musculoskeletal disorders affect muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. This rise in musculoskeletal conditions is largely attributed to sedentary lifestyles, where extended periods of inactivity weaken muscles, decrease flexibility, and heighten the risk of bone and joint problems. Orthopedic splints play a vital role in managing these conditions by offering targeted support, stabilizing affected regions, reducing strain to ease discomfort, and enhancing joint alignment, which collectively supports recovery and mobility. For example, in January 2024, Gov.UK, a UK-based government agency, reported that the prevalence of long-term musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions among individuals aged 16 and above increased from 17.6% in 2022 to 18.4% in 2023, with a prevalence of 20.9% in females and 15.8% in males. As a result, the growing incidence of musculoskeletal disorders is fueling the demand for orthopedic splints.
Leading companies in the orthopedic splints market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as lightweight biodegradable splints to promote environmental sustainability in healthcare. These splints provide secure immobilization while being eco-friendly, reducing waste, and eliminating the need for removal. For instance, in January 2022, Dassiet, a medical technology company based in Finland, launched UCAST-biodegradable and lightweight splints intended for hospitals and healthcare facilities. Made from thermoplastic wood cast material and cushioned fabric, UCAST splints allow for quicker application, boost patient comfort, support sustainability through biodegradability and recyclability, and simplify fracture care by shortening patient waiting times and reducing the need for additional casting materials.
In March 2023, Asker Healthcare Group, a Sweden-based provider of medical products and services, acquired GeniMedical B.V. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables Asker to enhance its product offerings with GeniMedical's innovative orthopedic solutions, including splints, while supporting the company's expansion across European markets.
