ORTHO PEDIATRIC DEVICES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global ortho pediatric devices market was valued at USD 5.58 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 5.92 billion in 2026, reaching USD 9.59 billion by 2035, with a projected CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.As of 2024, North America accounted for approximately 44.42% of the global ortho pediatric devices market share.

Devices designed expressly for use in treating child orthopedic issues are known as ortho pediatric devices. They include braces, splints, and casts to support and stabilise bones and joints. Ortho pediatric devices allow children with orthopedic problems to move more freely and with less discomfort. Pediatric orthopedic implants are used to replace missing bones or cartilage in children. They are also used to treat fractures, spinal conditions including sclerosis, and abnormalities. Implants can also be used to fuse joints and mend shattered bones. Due to children's developing anatomy and lower skeleton strength, pediatric orthopedic implants are surgical implants created specifically for pediatric patients. These conditions in orthopedics require specialised equipment to correct bone deformation and bone dislocation. This market is expanding as a result of rising bone abnormalities in youngsters brought on by growing malnutrition.

The rise in congenital abnormalities, increased knowledge of early detection and treatment, and technical developments in orthopedic equipment are all factors contributing to the market's expansion.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Covid-19 Pandemic Leading Disruptions In Suppy Chain And Production Hence Impedes Market Growth

Due to worldwide lockdowns in 2020, private and public transit was halted, which reduced road accidents and the injuries they cause. As a result, the emphasis of care in healthcare facilities switched from treating orthopedic conditions to COVID-19 patients, which had an immediate effect on the market, particularly in specialist institutions. Other hospitals were being converted into COVID-19 containment facilities and treatment wards, while minor and orthopedic hospitals were being closed down or having their operations restricted in a few places. According to reports, the orthopedic residency programme has been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The market as a whole has been hit by COVID-19, and the growth rate for 2019–2020 has also been impacted as the influence of COVID-19 spreads. The COVID-19 problem is forcing businesses and organisations to manage risk and digitise operations in order to provide reliable information and experiences to the decision-makers. This is according to our most recent research, perspectives, and insights on the management challenges that matter most to businesses and organisations regarding the market.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Prevalence of Pediatric Orthopedic Diseases Fuel Market Expansion

Due to the rise in pediatric orthopedic diseases, the worldwide market for ortho pediatric devices is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 1 in 5 U.S. children between the ages of 0 and 19 are impacted by a developmental impairment each year. These disabilities frequently result in orthopedic disorders including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), among others. Over the following several years, this is anticipated to fuel demand for Ortho Pediatric Devices' goods.

• The number of U.S. hospitals with centralized 3D-printing facilities grew from 3 in 2010 to more than 100 by 2019, enabling more on-demand, patient-matched surgical guides and anatomical models.

• Pediatric fractures remain a large absolute burden: the total number of pediatric fractures was ~31,033,294 in 2021, sustaining demand for pediatric trauma fixation devices and anatomical models.

DRIVING FACTORS

Technological Developments Fuel Market Expansion

To develop their companies and diversify their product offerings, vendors in the ortho pediatric devices market are gradually embracing inorganic business strategies including M&A. Several well-known suppliers are acquiring smaller companies in order to broaden their markets in new regions. These acquisitions have enabled a lot of technological developments in ortho pediatric equipment. As a result, it is predicted that increasing M&A activity would support the growth of the ortho pediatric devices market throughout the course of the projected period. With the development of technology in the healthcare industry, orthopedic problem treatments are always changing, and patients are occasionally taught about these changes. Orthopedic treatments can be made easier by a variety of items, including braces, supports, and implants, which are readily accessible on the market. These items support comfort when walking and enable patients to move and walk freely by assisting with limb motions, reducing swelling, and inflammation.

• High sports participation drives injury load: ≈54.1% of U.S. children aged 6–17 participated in organized sports in 2020, and organized sports produce >3.5 million injuries annually in children/teens.

• Lifetime fracture risk underlines pediatric device need: reported lifetime fracture risk is ~42–64% for boys (0–16 years) and ~27–40% for girls (0–16 years), motivating age-appropriate implants and instrumentation.

Increasing Number Of Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions M&A Activity Fuel Market Expansion

Additionally, it is anticipated that increased funding for ortho pediatric devices from the public and private sectors would speed market progress. Growing M&A activity is propelling the industry. The worldwide market for orthopedic pediatric devices is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5 percent during the forecast period due to the rising frequency of pediatric orthopedic illnesses. A developmental impairment, which frequently leads to an orthopedic disorder like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or autism spectrum disorder, affects roughly 1 in 5 U.S. children between the ages of 0 and 19 every year, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (ASD). This is expected to increase demand for ortho pediatric devices during the coming years. The demand for Ortho Pediatric Devices products globally is being driven by parents' increasing knowledge of the need of early diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic problems in their children. Additionally, pediatricians are increasingly advising early intervention therapies like physical therapy and braces/orthotics devices to help children with various orthopedic disorders improve their mobility and quality of life. Over the following several years, this is anticipated to produce profitable growth prospects for market participants.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Orthopedic And Surgical Procedures Come With Risks And Side Effects Hamper The Market Growth

The two most popular orthopedic procedures are complete arthroplasty for the hip and knee. Even though hip arthroplasty produces positive results, the treatment carries some risks and potential problems, including deep vein thrombosis, surgical site infections, and implant failures caused by the cement failing to keep the hip implants in place. Other issues with hip and knee replacement surgery include periprosthetic fractures. All of these risks are likely to impede market expansion.

• Regulatory complexity for additive and novel devices: formal regulatory guidance for additive manufacturing was issued in 2017, and regulators have reviewed >100 3D-printed medical products, creating a higher regulatory bar for pediatric-specific solutions.

• Limited pediatric-only approvals: of 1,925 orthopaedic devices cleared in an analyzed window, only 9 (0.5%) were designed exclusively for pediatrics and 160 (8.3%) included pediatric indications, indicating relatively few pediatric-specific clearances.
